I love the way you draw Aziraphale, he's nothing short of completely lovable. That pose is so completely Aziraphale, too--and that dialog! fantastic, honestly, I laughed out loud.
And those folds in his jeans at the knees are pretty much making my life O_O

Once more - I'm speechless. I'm just happy you liked it so much. Glad it made you laugh,too. And the folds at the knees I found terrible,but...yeah...thanks.

Takes on an entirely new light as well when you consider the gun as a phallic symbol... XD
(apologies for taking forever to reply to this and other comments!)

Yeah,I agree with you.The way I see it,Az + guns is a great,dark,tempting dilemma,for some humans seem to be angels lacking wings,and some angels,like Az,seem to be humans lacking guns... Just try to imagine fighting in vain for some good for half an eternity,and there's no significant result,you just get mocked at and called a wimp etc. just for fighting and sacrifising everything for maybe the holiest idea that ever existed. Wouldn't you WANT to get hold of a gun at some point? Just because you're an angel doesn't mean you're stupid,as the book said. Angels don't have the right to get or give some justice. I think they're underprivileged,more than humans.
And it's ok,I'm slow in replying too...

Thank you for all the kind words. I'm speechless, really.
And yes,angels and demons are both damned creatures...no free will...not just with angels, have you heard of a rising demon? They can never do whatever they want... the ones can never disobey,the others can't get the chance for absolution.

free will...
donno.
technically they must have had free will in order to disobey god and become demons in the first place.
This alone means that the ability to do both good and evil, and choose.
Of course, that isnt to say theyre free. I doubt anyone will ever know the meaning of that word.
but they do choose. They are chained by pacts and the like, i tend to think. Of course, the rammifications of such disobediance...

Indeed... What I meant was if they were to freely choose,they would no longer belong to the pacts they have with their "bosses"... but yeah,nobody's really free. And nobody is forced to be unfree,too - at least in mind.

Haha,you think THAT's good? I never even managed to finish it as fast I had in mind. I guess the trick is: traditional media. I haven't done much digitals, and it was never art, but I feel as if it takes ages... while pen takes a while and watercolour takes hardly anything... so it goes faster,I guess.
I had in mind to tell you - I think you draw SO much better than I do. Especially your latest pictures. I admire you.

If there's something the anatomy of my art is definitely NOT,it's refined. Like I said,my characters all seem so horribly beaten up, badly balanced and hungry. Nothing gentle about them,sadly.
Wow,these are indeed too good. Egosun is kinda manga/anime-ic,I can see,but Gunner Romantic...damn. Won't even try to reach him/her.
I want to draw like Paul Kidby,the most talented damn artist to me. Here's some of my favorite characters drawn by him:

He illustrates Pratchett's books. I mean,I love him 'cause his style is what I want my style to evolve into - both realistic and cartoony,alive,emotional,expressive,beautiful.

I agree. Same thing with me and writing - I get my inspiration,I do great,I stop,I lose it,I f**k it up.. It's a regular thing.
I'm supposed to make a presentation in psychology class about two divine brothers who were divided by a woman. Ironic,isn't it? If I wasn't forbidden to use pictures of winged people,I'd ask you to use your art for that presentation.

I see now... I've always thought haircolor is important for the soul. I could never be red-haired, too much strengh,life and passion in that,more than I'd bear. I dyed my hair black once, and it felt horrible. I mean,it looked nice,but my soul felt terrible. It's like 3 Ezras in 1 person. Oppressing.
Yeah,that's a better idea... Indeed,there should've been more good about her,otherwise an angel wouldn't love her...

*nods* Seems like a good opinion to have. Buy an old tee and mark it up with a Sharpie. ^^

It's fun, and cheaper than buying printed shirts, cuz you can just get a pack of shirts at a store, or go to resale shops. And no one else will have the same shirt as you, anywhere you go! 8D
