Oh Someone Got Our Poem Reference, @thescholarlystrumpet !

Saturday progress on my current Ineffable Wives WIP.

Fantastic notes on drawing David's likeness.

Hi! I'd love to make some Crowley fanart, and I'd love it if you could give me a few pointers about how to keep the Crowley look. Cause you do it so good, maybe yo have something to keep an eye on?

Ooh what a fun question. Let me analyse David Tennant’s very interesting face. This may be a lot more detailed than what you’ve asked for...

- Overall, his face resembles an inverted trapezoid. The features have a very “sharp” feel.

- The distance from the bottom of his nose to his chin is a lot shorter than the the distance from his browbone to the bottom of his nose & the distance from the top of his forehead to his browbone. This makes his nose appear long, but it’s actually because the lip & chin area is shorter.

- The vertex of the convex of his top eyelid leans towards the temple. His brow bones are VERY straight. His cheekbones are quite high and pronounced. The tip of his nose is split and tilts downwards. His bottom lip is a lot thicker than the top lip and protrudes slightly, but his lip area as a whole is slightly sinked in.

- His face is noticeably asymmetrical. The browbone is not levelled, and the nose bridge leans to the left.

By the way, does anyone want to see my notes on painting Michael’s face? 😆

Of Snowbirds and Hearthstones

This is the full-sized piece from which I pulled the cover for @cemeteryangel725's fic, Of Snowbirds and Heartstones (Explicit on AO3, mind the tags!) I was thrilled that Cem asked me to draw the cover for the sequel to Of Fire and Falcons, because I love these fucking Rennies so much. --- --- ---

If you want to see more of my art, I post stuff like this (and full-sized WIPs, tutorials, Patron-exclusive smut, you get the idea) on Patreon.

A Place to Call Home --- --- ---

This piece was commissioned by my dear friend @tawnyontumblr for HER dear friend @saretton to accompany a WONDERFUL fic that Tawny wrote for Saretton's birthday!

The fic is A Place to Call Home (Explicit, on AO3), a Human AU set in the Late Victorian/1890s and featuring Portrait Painter!Aziraphale and Stage Actor!Crowley as his artistic muse. I am in love with this concept.

Crowley's voice was almost too soft to hear. It nearly faded amidst the sweep of Aziraphale’s brush over canvas, the carriage rattling past outside—another layer of stimuli amidst the light, and the smell of linseed oil and turpentine. The way the fabric Crowley wore hissed gently over his skin as he slowly, minutely shifted position and then moved back.

He half sat half reclined on a Louis XVI armchair that Aziraphale had picked up in an estate sale. His legs were crossed, and the emerald banyan, embroidered with gold, slid from one shoulder. Aziraphale had been staring at that curve of lightly freckled skin while he'd been mixing rose madder and Chinese white, letting the brush sweep over the damp canvas as he sought to give voice to the hunger he felt.

The idea here was for me to paint the portrait of Crowley that Aziraphale is painting in the story.

Tawny asked me to paint with John Singer Sargent vibes, who is quite possibly my favorite artist of all time, and one of, if not the greatest, portrait painters of the 19th century. It's quite a tall order to try to imitate his style, so I settled for something Sargentesque! She also specified that "I want I am both painting and fucking him vibes. Intimate. That's the word." And I hope I delivered.

@goodomensafterdark Ya'll need to go read this fic its hot af.

I post all of my work, including the really filthy shit, full-sized WIPs, tutorials, comics, exclusive pieces, and more on my on my Patreon

A print of this piece will be up in my print shop on INPRNT!

This is a painting I did four years ago from LIVE REFERENCE, which is a crazy thing to get to do. Well...

I did the sketch from live reference, and then took a heap of pictures of the most gorgeous tiger that hung out right beside me for about an hour, on the far side of some very, very thick lexan at a public zoo.

Every time I draw a Crowley.

WIP sketch and color test for a piece I'm doing for @thescholarlystrumpet's fic for the GOAD smut wars

A very much not serious piece of cover art that I made for my illustrated smutty one-shot.

Parts 1-6 (pure filth) are on my Patreon. Previews of Parts 1-6 are posted here. The publicly posted flashback that attempts to apply a thin veneer of plot to this porn are here: Parts 7, 8, and 9

Oh wow, the sheer sleeves of C's shirt are WONDERFUL (and the buttons on the cuff!)

This one @neil-gaiman?

I was just reminded of a Tumblr Q & A from this blog from long ago, and went looking for it, and found it had vanished. I know I didn't delete it which means, I guess, that either someone must have complained about it to Tumblr and had it deleted, or Tumblr sometimes loses posts. My guess would be the former. Does anyone have a screen grab or a record of
