Crowley and Aziraphale doodles

*In the end I actually reconstructed his workflow after painting everything in because we don’t work the same way. What a perverse thing to do...*

Incorrect Good Omens [24/?]

It’s been one helluva year (understatement). Soooo… let’s start the next year how we mean to go on… posting ridiculous and “incorrect” edits of these two idiots… whom I adore.

I remember copying Ingres at school was gruelling but equally rewarding. It usually involved hours at the Met drawing room with a magnifier. Each one of his lines is expressive, and every edge is finely controlled. An Ingres copy wouldn’t have the feel of the original at all if it’s not done this carefully with a SHAAARP pencil on very smooth paper. (Ironically, not Ingres paper...)

I took out the same magnifier and all the Ingres catalogues I could find at my place for this drawing too... The struggle is real (?)

*Self-indulgent detail: I wrote a very tiny question mark next to “purveyor of books,” because I think someone as fiercely perceptive as Ingres would be able to tell at least a little bit that Aziraphale is not really a bookseller...

Aziraphale’s inscription: Si tabula daretur digna animum mallem. It translates to “if one could but paint his mind.”

Crowley’s inscription: Alget, qui non ardet. It translates to “he becomes cold who does not burn.”

Aziraphale is wounded and left to die. Crowley finds him and is distressed, and of course tries to patch him up, but Az is pretty far into shock at this point and can’t figure out what the dear snusband is getting so worked up over. So he tries deliriously to boss Crow around while Crow is doing his best to keep Az from bleeding out.
