This one is inspired by a character created by the author Robert W. Chambers, and that I’ve been introduced with during a Call of Cthulhu tabletop session a few years ago.
I haven’t read the book it came from yet, but it’s on my (very long) “to read” list.
When I reached That Part in part 12 I just. I knew what I needed to do. Literally could not start working on other art until I had the lines for this one done.
“Well, then. You asked for a sign and you got one,” he said in a low voice. “We’re no threat to you. We just want to be left alone. I think it’s time you took heed. Yes?”
Swallowing, Gabriel-ish looked from the icy angel to the six wings projected faintly on the wall behind him. He slowly nodded.
Behind Aziraphale there was a sudden hiss, a seething susurration as Crowley shifted. Over the angel’s shoulder, a massive snake slid in smooth undulations and its yellow eyes flashed in the glow of the Bentley’s light. Ropes fell uselessly to the floor.
This is a piece of fanart I’ve been working on inspired by this amazingly written fanfic I read on AO3 by 29Piecescalled“Soul of Vellum, Heart of Chrome”. It’s a really angsty and adorable take on how the Bentley and the Bookshop may actually be way more than what any of us expects. Check out the fic! It’s absolutely lovely and give all your love to the artist!
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.
