Description "If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
If God will send his visions
Will everything be all right?"
~ U2, "If God Will Send His Angels"

HAHA LOOK I'M FLOODING YOUR DEVWATCHES FLOOD FLOOD FLOOD HOW DOES IT FEEL BITCHES?!

............ I'm sorry. I'm in a horrible, horrible mood for no good reason, please just ignore the hell out of me.

A little fanart of Caphriel (Crowley) from afrai's amazing AU Good Omens fanfic, The Sacred and the Profane . If you like Good Omens and have not read The Sacred and the Profane, SHAME.

Good Omens things © Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, whose babies I would cheerfully have but they are both already married.
The Sacred and the Profane stuffs © afrai , because she is filled with goodness. I would have her babies too, but that might creep her out.
Lyrics © U2 because I just like that song, damnit.

Media: Lots and lots of Painter Classic + a little fussing and text added in Photoshop 7.

Oh god, I think I'm gonna cry again. I bawled all through the last two chapters of The Sacred and the Profane. Beautiful Caphriel.

And U2! And a more obscure song too!

This story.

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW EMOTIONAL THIS STORY MAKES ME.

Like, even /thinking/ about this story /overwhelms/ me with /feelings/.

This picture did the same and all I could think was 'poor Crowley'.

Nice work!

How'd you create that background?

Do you know if it's possible to do in Photoshop? I'm afraid I don't have the energy or patience to learn Painter at this moment.

hokuto In reply to balot-vendor [2005-12-01 18:32:43 +0000 UTC]

The background is a paper texture in Painter, colored over with the charcoal brush - you could probably find a tone or texture brush to get a similar effect for Photoshop, but I'd still recommend trying Painter first. The paper textures are very easy to learn how to use, so it wouldn't take much energy.

I love Good Omens! ... but I haven't read that fic. *clicks on the link* :3 I'm actually in the middle of doing fanart of Pollution from the book... I don't know why, but I just love that character to bits. You've done a good job with Crowley, even though his face isn't very visible. I really like the texture in the background, it's very interesting. ^^

Ooh. I thought it was a painting before I read the description. That means your "brush" strokes look great. I love the texture on the background, and the "hidden" text.

Excellent work on the hazy wings as well. I like the color scheme you chose, too. Blue is a great color for pictures like these.

Good Omens fanfic, hmm? And you say it's good? I'll look into it. But know it takes a lot of willpower for me to go read a fanfic (but at least this one isn't an anime one). Lovely pic to go with it. And a wonderful song choice as well!

PriscillaKim [2005-06-19 14:50:54 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, I like this one. Especially the marbly effect of the walls and the graffiti?-wings, and how the coat is colored similarly so that it almost looks like he's becoming one with the wall, or emerging from it, depending on how you look at it--and the somber tones really conveys powerfully the depression.
