maybe i’m reading too much into it, but i really love the scene where crowley and aziraphale talk with adam right before satan arrives. like SO often adults will patronize kids and believe that just because they’re children, they don’t have any value in the conversation. but aziraphale and crowley never do that with adam. especially when adam says “but i’m just a kid” and aziraphale replies “but that’s not a bad thing to be, adam”. they don’t explicitly tell him how to handle the situation, they fully trust that adam will make the best decision, whatever that may be. idk i just think it’s refreshing to see that. adults take children and their judgement seriously without undermining them simply because of their age.
Then Bird Omens came to be a thing for me, and it swept me away for a month and a half. Nine mixed-media illustrations in total, made with Copic markers and specially pigmented metallic and pearlescent inks on 300gsm watercolour (rough, rendering on smooth side) paper to allow me to use a wet-on-wet technique for colour layering to mix, shade, highlight, or straight up perform witchcraft.
I feel like you can watch my art level up going through each one - all of them used new techniques or mediums for me, and I pushed myself to try whatever I felt I could make work.
I cannot thank my own ineffable dear Kyu enough for helping me with bird choices, and all of you seeing people comment along with retweet/reblog with fun tags has been really wonderful.
This particular series might be done but I have plans for a lot more illustration work, Good Omens inspired and otherwise. I hope everyone can enjoy me sharing more work in the future. It’s nice doing full illustrations again after 5 years of hiatus.
