Description Another of the angel Castiel, from Supernatural.

I was looking through 's gorgeous work and feeling pretty low about my own, so I thought I'd play around with some color a little bit, and try to keep shit simple. I kind of have no idea what I'm doing, but. It's an excuse to draw Castiel, and I'm okay with that. Also, that blotty halo pattern is pure Garama . I really liked it, and wanted to try it, but I don't have a tablet, obviously, so I used Sharpie.

PFFF, thank you. ^u^ I'm flattered. But I still am way envious of Garama's work. Her way with color knocks me out. Just means I should practice!

Right? It's fun, too! I'm gonna mess with Sharpie and other materials more often.

This made me think a little of John Constantine from the comic Hellblazer, especially his outfit and hair (and need to shave).

Oh! I read that Castiel was kind of inspired by Constantine! So that's very appropriate.

AppliedPhilosopher In reply to lily-fox [2012-08-05 05:40:15 +0000 UTC]

I suspect this has a lot more in common with the character than the film Constantine, where Keanu Reeves was cast as John Constantine. That has to be one of the worst casting decisions EVER.

Sorry, I haven't actually seen Supernatural, so I saw this, and the only person I thought it might be was Lestraude from 'Sherlock' XD Good job, though!

lily-fox In reply to Grannysgirl300 [2012-08-04 22:44:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, I LOVE Lestrade (in the BBC show). Rupert Graves is a fuckin' silver fox. So I'm totally okay with the comparison.

Ha ha. I know, I shouldn't bitch, but sometimes (like all the time), I see artists who make me want to gnaw my fingers off in envy. But it just makes me want to try new stuff.
