Description
Full view or I'll poke you with a flaming dinglehopper.This is another doodle that got out of hand, but I'm such a skilled procrastinator... Anyway, I like Crowley and Aziraphale, flames, swords and epic poses a bit too much for my own good. >u>' I even like the tyre iron since the day I found one in the toolbox. I assume no-one eyer looked at it with such loving eyes, it must have been one of its happiest moments.
Let's say this is set before that last scene at the airbase, when the delivery man takes the sword away.(Why Crowley feels the need to use a cigarette lighter when he's holding a flaming sword is beyond me,btw. °_°) Except, except, it was August, wasn't it? But I distinctly remember coats being mentioned...Ah, well *shrugs*
And here's the meaningful part of this artist comment, in which I talk at length about the mysteries of the creative process, inspiration, expiration, perspiration and so on.
...No, not really, don't get alarmed.
I've realized I subconsciously give Crowley a nose that looks slightly like my old philosophy professor's (she had a nose that could stare you into submission, I used to have nightmares about that snakelike nostrils just...watching me, saying nothing çAç).
I've also realized that that if I'm not careful Aziraphale ends up looking like Alessandro Cecchi Paone* OAO' (while the major problem with Crowley is the tears I shed every time I have to cover his pretty eyes with sunglasses, it wrinkles the sheet...)
Anyway, this was fun, enjoy :'D
Pencil sketch+photoshop
Crowley and Aziraphale belong to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's distressing to see how often people seem to ignore this fact, like the artist who decorated the pavement of the St Michael's Church in Anacapri in the 18th century with a scene from Eden, for instance. Geez, some people have no respect.
*Google will know.

XDDDDDDD ho letto dopo il titolo XD.
Secondo me Azi e' un monaco veramente cool e C. e' un finto cool u.u Azi detta la moda [anni cinquanta, ma chi ci fa caso.], Crowley la segue.

1000 punti per aver capito che il titolo è una citazione da Pratchett, Fochide!!!! (l'ho preso dal Diario dei Vampiri, ma i Vampiri e i Monaci Cool hanno una simile filosofia XDDD) Esatto, esatto, lo credo anch'io U.U

maledizione, non sapevo che anche i vampiri fossero divisi in cool e fintamente cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, loro sono tutti naturalmente cool, ma questo è un problema per quelli che rinunciano al sangue e vogliono passare per umani, perchè devono cercare di sopprimere la loro figaggine naturale, e questo, unito all'astinenza, li rende un pelino nevrotici xDDDDD

xDDDD I'm intrigued, what are the other four?
I've pondered about it, and I think the reason why Crowley's not doing that is because he's afraid of burning his nose with holy fire. *nods*

Hmmm, an explosion is definitely one, to which I would add your own pyre, lightning and a match struck on Chuck Norris' chin.

They are brill! My hat off to you sir/madam! I almost detect an endearing look from Aziraphale at Crowley's classness!

ahahahaha la tua prof di filosofia deve aver avuto un naso stupendo <3
Comunque, adoro vedere i tuoi doodle su good omens, spero di farne qualcuno anch'io prima o poi, quanto mi piacerebbe avere il libro per ri-leggerlo ;_; non lo trovo da nessuna parte e da quando me lo prestarono, non ho potuto fare a meno di continuare ad amarlo forever!
Ad ogni modo, le ali nere di crowley sono una scelta grafica? Ho visto che molte persone lo raffigurano con le ali scure, ma da che mi ricordo, era scritto che crowley le avesse uguali a quelle di aziraphale ma tipo rovinate / spennate, se non ricordo male °-°!
Ad ogni modo, anche la posa è epica xD E azi non assomiglia a cecchi paone stai tranquilla xD!!

Aw grazie del commento!! 
Ohhh sì, disegnali!!! *U* <3<3<3 ma lo cerchi in italiano? Se vuoi ti passo il PDF! :'D (dovresti trovarlo su Google comunque, anche in inglese.) In inglese il libro di trova tranquillamente! (E il traduttore era a tratti ubriaco... >_>' Però anche a me piacerebbe averlo in italiano, per puro collezionismo, ma non si trova davvero da nessuna parte D: )
Oh, boh, io la frase che dice "contrariamente a quello che si pensa, le ali dei demoni sono come quelle degli angeli, ma in genere molto più curate" l'ho interpretata nel senso di piumosità :'D (perchè di solito ai demoni si danno ali da pipistrello) Poi boh! Io penso che Crowley il colore delle ali lo abbini ai vestiti, più che altro >X'DDDDD (Aziraphale invece ce le avrà sicuramente bianche, solo un po' spettinate e polverose XD <3)
:'D *Crowley sorride soddisfatto* Grazie a Qualcuno ora non più, ma il primo schizzo mi ha fatto venire un accidenti, ti assicuro XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD *brutte esperienze*
Ahò, io li aspetto, i tuoi Crowley e Az, eh *__________________*

You've made me very happy with this piece of awesome. 
Eee, where to start... Cross-shaped tyre iron, we know my fondness for that.... Do I detect a scarf tied Sherlock-style?... Fancy-ass sword, that one... WAISTCOAT!!!!!! *ahem* I'm fine now.... Dialogue is brill...
Yep, it was August and the detail about coats (camelhair for Aziraphale) has always bothered me too. I mean, sure, they're immortal and can ignore the heat (and Crowley actually likes it) but wouldn't ordinary humans notice and... well, question their sanity even more? Or presume they're flashers?
I can't find what your footnote refers to.

And you've made me very happy with this comment ç7ç *hugs*
I think it's incredibly ironic xDDDD And it's called Cross Key in Italian 
Ahh so it wasn't my brain giving me conflicting input. O.o Uhmm...well, I dunno, maybe English countryside is cold? (I personally think it was Summer for an author and Winter for the other one XD)
You mean Alessandro Cecchi Paone? Nooo, don't make me google that...[link] He's an Italian tv presenter. I was a bit shocked when I saw that my Aziraphale looked slightly like him, I must have snatched the eraser at light speed in that moment XDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Since I drew Aziraphale lighting it on fire in Crowley's hand, I can only cheer when anyone draws the cross-shaped ones instead of the single style. It's just BETTER this way.
I wish I'd never discovered Sherlock. Like I NEED more angst in my life thanks to SPN
Your dialogue is brill as in brilliant, dear 
Considering Adam's birthday was referred to as a "hot fume-filled" day, I'd say no. They're just weird. Or maybe the authors, er, forgot what time of year they set it in?

xDD Pfft that was brilliant, poor Crowley...Yes, the other type has not an interesting shape U.U
çAç *hugs again* Oh, yes, I wish he would tell John or something. I mean, he's so intelligent, he could let him know somehow, it wouldn't be that difficult... In my personal canon he dresses up as a bush/lamppost to check that John's fine.
Guh, you're right. That must be it, then, they probably didn't re-read much. Kinda weird that not even the editor noticed though o_ò Maybe the shower of fish was accompanied by a temperature drop? XDD

The other is... more phallic, I guess.
I'll adopt that theory. Because I'm freaking DYING to find out how they resolve a fall from a building, a cracked skull, and a funeral. I know Molly's involved but... *bites nails* I need to knooooooow.
The editor must have been taking a lot of naps because there are two big errors that really bug me: Anthema's eyes go from black to green, and Newt goes from being four years older than her to about six. It's rather unforgivable 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xDDDD Really? the other type I saw looked like a couple of spoons tied together, what did I see then? °7°'
Oh, oh, I have a theory that seems plausible!!! °A°/ We talked about this for an afternoon and we came up with something that will prevent us going insane over it in the next few months. I'll wait for your permission to talk, though, I don't want to spoil you the pleasure of trying to think like Sherlock and hurting your brain doing so XD
8DDD I hadn't noticed that! Hm, I think the editor might have been drinking with the future Italian translator (this would also explain how that guy got the job) xD You know, the Arrangement makes no sense whatsoever in the Italian version ;___; and suddenly gorillas only go out with misty weather or something. And I've only read bits of the translation, who knows what he might have done to the rest of the book. T^T
