Crowley - Blog Posts
will you please complete me -------------------------- NEW ART, HOT OFF THE PRESS - FULL SIZE BELOW THE JUMP
Just in time for the /r/GOAD smut war and I'm not even drawing smut! Look at me, being a contrarian. This is a gift for the GOMM Holiday Exchange on Discord for @queenofthecute! Her prompt for the exchange was: "Aziraphale & Crowley and the intimate tenderness of a kiss on the hand/fingers/wrist," which I was only too happy to oblige. What a sweet prompt!
@queenofthecute, I hope you enjoy the final work as much as enjoyed painting it. ⬇️ FULL SIZE, detail shots, and more info below the jump. ⬇️
I LOVE painting Ultraginger Freckled Crowley (TM). It's frankly a sickness at this point.
I'm also learning how to efficiently paint certain things that I used to render totally by hand, and this piece let me practice several materials, namely gold metallics (Aziraphale's pinky ring and fob/chain) and silver metallics (Crowley's slutty little scarf).
About: Photoshop, Orig. 6491x4895; Title from Nine Inch Nails' "Please", a track on The Fragile.
Breathe, echoing the sound Time starts slowing down Sink until I drown Please, I don't ever want to make it stop And it keeps repeating Will you please complete me?
The colors in this! The clouds! The architecture! Aziraphale's expression! ❤️❤️❤️

Uggggh @elizabethrangerart you know how I feel about your gorgeous work but its worth saying again: these are stunning. 😍
The way you've rendered their expressions is so perfectly lovely.
Let there be light
A set of two 🤍
Surviving the Angst War just to live to see the Smut War is like living through WWI just to get drafted in WWII.

THE SMUT WAR IS COMING Jan. 8th! (cumming? No coming. Why not both?)
The decadent and delightful artists and writers of @goodomensafterdark are having a war party that everyone can get behind (or on top of, however you like!).
It’s a creative bonanza of the best kind! You’ll be fed WELL, so join us while we titillate each other with art and fanfics about our favorite duo (and possibly trio! Quadruples? EVERYONE??)
Don’t forget to hydrate. It’s going to be HOT.
Work in progress for a Discord holiday exchange. So excited about this one!
Aziraphale's Dream
(cropped version so you don't get fired from your job for browsing my tumblr, you degenerate)
Full version here, marked NSFW because kink
i have brought her laughing (to my quietly dreaming garden) ------------------------------ The scene: A smoky, velvet-lined speakeasy smudged carelessly somewhere in the pocket of a roaring, glittered New York City, 1924, nighttime. Prohibition is on, but the law books never really dissuade anyone from getting a drink, not if they know where to go. It sure as Hell doesn't stop Crowley from taking her Angel out for a drink, because Aziraphale wanted one. And hey, it's the jazz age, Crowley knows where to get weed again.
This painting is one half of a collaboration I did with my dear friend @thescholarlystrumpet, who wrote a fantastic companion piece on AO3 (Rated M, mind the drug use tag).
“I got something else to liven up your final night in town. If you’re feeling a little… daring.” Crowley looked sidelong at Aziraphale and arched one penciled-on brow. Aziraphale wiggled happily and slid off the stool to sidle closer, until her head was practically on the Demon’s bare shoulder. “Do tell.” Crowley tried not to shiver as she could feel the Angel’s breath against her heated skin, smell the heady potpourri of perfume, wine, and a pinch of ethereal sweat, taste it on her (currently unforked) tongue. She held up the expertly rolled joint between two fingers accented by red painted talons. “It’s been a very long time, I think, since we really… indulged.” Turning her head just so, nearly nose to nose with her friend. “Don’t you think we’ve earned it?” “Why, you wicked temptress,” Aziraphale murmured, her voice low and slightly breathless, sly smile belying any hint of admonishment.

This is a fun thing I did for @vavoom-sorted-art's (Zoey's) Draw This in Your Style for her 5000 Followers celebration!
Zoey's original after the jump!
Zoey's original challenge piece:
CONGRATULATIONS, ZOEY!

Oh! This is so pretty! Look at Crowley's hair! And the sunlight! Beautiful art.

Second pass on my previous sketch, using a mirror for reference on the faces this time around (last time was photo). Trying to keep the shapes looser and get the expressions natural. My default sketch style feels too rigid sometimes, so I'm trying to improve on that.
The original, a little too stiff in the posing and def too tortured on the expressions, imo.
A sketch of the Ineffable Boyos for a collab I'm doing with a dear friend and author.
Saturday progress on my current Ineffable Wives WIP.
Oh, this is so soft and lovely. What a wonderful piece of art.
I'm a sucker for The Starmaker's angelic squiggle of curls on top of his head.
literally the first thing i thought of when it happened…. i wish i could make gifs lmao
blood of a reptile, just underneath the skin

DRAMA!CROWLEY, ACTIVATE!
So we meet here again, in front of another flaming-as-anything-ginger Crowley. We can't keep doing this, you know. People will talk.
More info and hi res under the jumpppppppppppp.
I wanted to try my hand at a standalone portrait of Crowley before I jump back into what will inevitably be another Aziracrow portrait---I'm thinking 1920s theme. Flapper Crowley & Aziraphale? But that's for another time.
I wanted to try grey scale under-painting in digital art. A success, I hope? I'm pretty happy with the portrait (for now, give it a week and I'll hate everything about this painting, happens every time!)
I struggled a bit on the eyes in this piece. I normally paint straight color to canvas, so I have a method to my madness with painting eyes. Not so, here! This was new territory. I'm not 100% satisfied, but that just means I need more practice.
ALSO, GOLGOTHA HAIR WITH A BRAID WHAT WHAAAAAT
And because I learned how to paint snake scales for the last portrait, I decide to reprise that theme and torture myself again keep practicing them, this time with iridescence. I wanted to keep the scales low-key, though, almost as if they're just emerging or maybe the viewer caught a momentary glimpse of scales through the veil to an ethereal occult plane. Additionally, I wanted some good creepy claw hands with long fingernails (big fan of creepy, me) for a proper demonic manicure.
About: All digital, all Photoshop. Orig. 7200 x 5400 px. ~1 week of off-and-on painting. Title is taken from Reptile by Nine Inch Nails because I guess I'm still naming art after 30 year old albums? Is this a thing I do, now?
...and if so, can you imagine what I'll have to draw to use lyrics from Hurt in the title?
Every time I draw a Crowley.
Painting the eyes has always been my favorite part of any portrait. Current WIP. Will probably be the next finished piece I post, unless Something Terrible happens.
help me, you tear down my reason
--------------------------
This is my ransom note to Neil Gaiman love letter to the ineffable idiots and the Gomens fandom. There will undoubtedly be more because I caught the brain rot so bad.
More info and high res below the jump.
Scaly semi-snek flaming-like-anything-ginger freckled Crowley because why not? I wanted to mess around with a very pale, slightly creepy color palette for skintones, so this was a good exercise. And anyway, I could draw DT's glorious swan-like neck every day for the rest of my life and never grow weary of it.
Michael Sheen's nose --hell, his profile in general--will be my undoing. He is SUCH a challenge to draw, which I adore. I used quite literally 4x the references for 'Zira than for Anthony Janthony.
About: All digital, all Photoshop, baby. Orig. 4483 x 5391 px. ~2 weeks of off-and-on painting when I got tired of my work art. Title is taken from Closer by Nine Inch Nails because I pretty much exclusively listened to The Downward Spiral on repeat while I worked on this piece, because that's the kind of angsty teenage headspace I'm in??? I'm fucking 34 years old, I thought I was past this.
Supernatural Fandom, y’all still kickin here?
Dunno how many of you caught Ruth Connell aka Rowena appear in the Netflix show Dead Boy Detectives, but she was phenomenal. The cast and writers were all impeccable, and the characters and story were so whimsical and complex. Both Misha Collins and Richard Speight Jr. backed the show on their socials and for good reason- it was the best show I never knew I needed!
Of Course, Netflix took it upon themselves to cancel it. They waited four months for a long weekend to launch the announcement through a separate news source like the cowards they are- so how about a little chaos? They screwed the creatives out of their jobs and dragged it out for months- not to mention the actors.
Maybe you saw the show and it wasn’t your cup of tea, maybe you didn’t even hear about it because Netflix and marketing their YA Fantasy is about as likely as Destiel getting a happy ending. 30 seconds to sign the petition, maybe leave a comment here or there on Netflix’s page, use the plethora of gifs that have never once gathered dust. Make a money grubbing entertainment corporation run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
For the Queen Herself
you can tell where i gave up in some of these
Watching Good Omens season 2 was like reading the most perfect, slow-burn 100k-word fanfiction in a nice, relaxing bubble bath surrounded by scented candles. But when you get to the end, you realise it's an abandoned, unfinished fic that was last updated five years ago, and you are left alone with this earth-shattering cliffhanger, and on top of that, someone throws a toaster in.
Happy 1 year GO anniversary to me! :D
1 year ago I posted my very first GO drawing ever. It was a test sketch page where I tried to figure out how I wanna draw those chartacters and I think a lot of progress happened since then.
(Anyway, here is a redraw of the exact same sketch page I did back then~)
People who draw Crowley and Aziraphale in slutty fem clothes while still staying true to what their bodies look like in canon, I thank you for your service
Full on internal screaming when they bump into each other accidentally during Regency England.
Much external bickering. And telling people to go fall off their horses.
Everyone else absolutely gets the (right) wrong idea.
you can hang the stars and still get cast out if heaven, so what hope is there for any if us
