If Lord of the Rings and Dune had a love child. And that child grew up to become its own independent person.

That's Wheel of Time.

World is going crazy, have a ray of sunshine today wherever you are. I'm trying out different brushes for the linework, this one is the dry ink brush from the basic Procreate presets. Here's the reference I used - Edit: added details

So glad Rings of Power S2 confirmed my theory about Adar, which is that he's way hotter WITH the scars...

Had the urge to sketch Aziraphale. Loved his serious expression and penciled on mustache.

Also loved drawing him in a black tux.

Commissions are OPEN! I would love to draw Aziraphale (or anyone) for you.

Makes you wonder what She's really planning

I hardly had time to draw anything lately and I missed it so much! Just wanted to draw pretty Crowley with swishy flowy hair, maybe I overdid it with the swishy flowy idk. Also, that's not a tiny bug up there in the corner I checked it's eraser dust no animals where harmed in the making of this drawing except the feelings of one particular snake! Will color this in Procreate later to get back into the flow and test out some new brushes 🎵 Here's the reference I used

❌ Just draw something, don't overthink it

✅ Noodle around with the simplest of concepts for fucking ever

almost missed my bus stop trying to memorise this person’s features in the window pane reflection ahahaha god they were breathtaking

haven’t had the drawing mojo for weeks but I had to sketch them quickly as soon as I got home

Nightingale , probabaly:

"So this ball, you say it's like a, a pageant? A competition?[TRIGGERED]"

Things I should have already known about Nightingale, but had deeply repressed until reading Masquerades of Spring:

Jock, but not.

Terrible pain in the ass, and not in the sexy kind of way.

Looks too dam good. All the goddam time. In anything. Any situation. Like, is this an undercover mission or is this a modeling gig, Thomas? You can't just run around looking like that, have mercy, we are all just mere mortals here, oh wait... oh. Nevermind. Carry on then.

RE: Good Omens and Rivers of London getting along together - Have you read Plausible Deniability by mizstorge at archiveofourown

Summary: In which Inspector Thomas Nightingale pursues stolen books on magic, Aziraphale presides over a book sale, Constable Peter Grant just tries to do his job, and Crowley values his domestic tranquility.

Have I read every Good Omens/Rivers of London crossover fic I could find on ao3? Well, yes, I absolutely have.

My favorite thing about them is how Crowley and Aziraphale are always casually living their happily married cottage life, established relationship tag, like no big deal 👌 They just perfectly fit into the Rivers of London universe as that quirky couple of supernaturals (not otherwise specified). And the descriptions of their vestigia, I absolutely love those 😍

Let me refresh my memory, Plausible Deniability... YES, I loved the ending with the, er, miscommunication! Crowley is living his secret agent AND his bodyguard dreams in this one. Plus, the Nightingale-Peter relationship is giving me delicious book 2 nostalgia.

Just saw there's a podfic, too! 😍

Judging by how things went for twitter? I'm extremely worried for this guy actually.

Just remembered Aziraphale blessed this guy's Grindr account. Lol, he got a dude laid. A lot.

Meditate. Research. Reverently study his earthly vessel in a humble attempt to apperciate his essence more accurately. Softly, ever so carefully, with utter devotion, knowing no depictions can ever fully capture the angelic traquil of this creature of light

Right right right, ok...

Get in the zone, put some classical music on, magic in the air. Carefully dab glitter on his cheeks, wrap him in a silk cape - mascara, eyeliner, tophat, pencil mustache. There, look at him, he's gorgeous marvellous...

Art Log - 06/2024

It's been about 3 months of using Procreate for me!

Would have never happened if it wasn't for my good friend who's an incredibly talented graphic designer. She let me test drive Procreate on her iPad. Back in the day we bonded over being weird artsy kids in school and now we're being weird artsy adults together 🤝 Best friendship dynamic.

According to tumblr, I posetd my first digital painting on April 4th (over on my other blog). I think I made a bit of progress since then, even though I didn't make a lot of paintings in the meantime.

For every single painting I'm still making a traditional pencil sketch, upload that to Procreate and then start coloring on top of it. Not sure if I'll ever get fully confident sketching directly in Procreate.

I started liking the process and the result more around the third painting when I started using a combination of soft and hard shading with some hatching for texture. So that's the 'technique' ended up using more deliberatly for this portrait of Aziraphale.

Gotta stop drawing side profiles, that's way too many side profiles 🙈

I'll post a more detailed making-of of that portrait to document my process a bit.

The trajectory of the stats is a little concerning: 1st painting (3hrs 50min, 16 layers), 2nd painting (5hrs, 21 layers), 3rd painting (9hrs, 23 layers), 4th painting (23 hrs, 62 layers). Yeah, probabaly not a sustainable trajectory. I need to learn how to make some quicker illustrations. I tried here, but did not like the result that much.

I will forever love traditional drawing and painting, but. Digital art ... it's nice! There's no extra space needed to store paints, no brushes to clean later, fixing mistakes is easy, trying out several different color variations not a problem.

It's a goal of mine to make more complex paintings some day. It will be hard for me, I just love portrait drawing too much, it's my happy place, you see? Right now I'm working on another portrait. And then I have another planned after that. So. I'm definetly not going anywhere fast with those plans, that's for sure 😅

Made another Crowley portrait this time with more of a focus on composition and color.

Ineffable mess with pencils.

If Aziraphale was Crowley's emotional support pet angel, as Shax said, Crowley would be Aziraphale's manic pixie dream demon.

Aziraphale portrait study - I finally finished coloring it!

I loved his posture, the colors and the lighting in this scene. There are some in-progress snapshots over here.

Meditate. Research. Reverently study his earthly vessel in a humble attempt to apperciate his essence more accurately. Softly, ever so carefully, with utter devotion, knowing no depictions can ever fully capture the angelic tranquil of this creature of light. Sunshine angel, would you be my muse for a little while?

This blog now has more than 100 followers!

Which is insane to me because I never had anywhere near 100 people listen to my random fandom thoughts or look at my fanart ever. Sooo, yeah 1) Hello! and 2) Thank you all for the warm welcome and the kind comments/tags 🥹!

✨ Have a little WIP under the cut! ✨

I'll publish this post once I'm finished with an Aziraphale portrait that's coming along nicely so far. In the meantime, here's the WIP! Almost done, just rendering the hair is giving me ~.*trouble *.~ 😅

I absolutely adore all the fanfiction, fanart, gif sets, metas, cosplays, crafts, comics, animatics, fan videos, poems, AUs, memes, tags and whatnot I come across on tumblr. People are insanely talented and creative around here and I just soak it all up, it's so inspiring. Happy to offer some drawings and ramblings in return!

What's in the future? I don't know, I'll keep having random fandom thoughts probably and I also have like 4 sketch book pages and a dozen sticky notes full of thumbnails of Good Omens related stuff that I would like to draw.

Now that Procreate and I have become friendly with each other I might attempt something that's not just a portrait? Actual backgrounds? Proper composition? Idk I want to challenge myself a little, but it takes me FOREVER to finish a drawing/painting. You have been warned 😅😅😅

Couple of Aziraphale studies ♥

Michael Sheen's face is so much fun to draw. Shout out to the GO reference library on discord that made it easy to find good refs!

Just wanted to draw one more quick one to color digitally and when I looked up it was three hours later?👍

Weird at last, weird at last...

ah yes Tumblr,

the place i am learning to let myself be weird

Part of the fun with the Rivers of London book series is that you can try to imagine what kind of genius loci would inhabit your local body of water.

Like, I'm side-eyeing my local river and think they would be such an absolutely insufferable, obnoxious piece of s****

Love this comic, it's so beautiful, trippy and dreamy - but also the romance! It's like dreaming of eachother is their only lifeline in this world.

In Love's Secret Domain

Post S2, Crowley and Aziraphale meet only in shared dreams of some beautiful place. There's a tree and a cottage and they are both depressed. It will be dreamy, funny, bizzare and with skippable adult chapters I'll be posting somewhere else (all for free). There will be firebugs.

Added to my Aziraphale studies. I love this show so much ❤️

(Close up of the first study can be seen here.)

(Commissions are open!!!)

忘记他

this is a scene from the film fallen angels by wong kar wai, and the study club prompt in the good omens reference library discord was the 1941 blitz era, so ofc i had to combine them and make crowley really sad again
