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.

Well, there's that one and the most common, which looks like a half-formed "L". But generally, anything that's a single staffed long hard object is gonna be phallic.
I couldn't SURVIVE without spoilers. Lay 'em on me.
*snort* There are probably even worse translations, thanks to UK-specific cultural references.

WARNING: This is gonna be long (Also this is only ONE of the hypotheses we made, the one I like the most. :'D)
Okay, what we know is: 1) Sherlock asked for Molly's help; 2)it was him who decided the meeting point with Moriarty; 3)he has a brother with connections.
Also, remember that we've had a fake death (with fake cadaver) in the first episode and a drug that makes you hallucinate your fears in the second,and I can't possibly think Steven Moffat hasn't given us all the elements to figure this out, 'cause he knows how stories are supposed to work and he wouldn't introduce something unknown to the watcher to explain it. (at least I hope) U.U
Well, first things first, we (and John) see Sherlock jump but don't follow the whole jump from start to, er, splash. (John can't from where he is, there's another building between him and S, and anyway he gets bumped by that handy bicycle) The reason we see S on the pavement is that we're watching the scene through John's eyes. S has to be certain that J witnesses his death, and the best way to do so is drugging him with that thing from the second episode (Mycroft wouldn't have any difficulty providing it to him). This way, when S jumps, the drug effect gets triggered, so John WILL see S's body on the pavement, no matter whose body that really is. And Molly works with cadavers, so I don't think it'd be too difficult for her to find one. So I think that that's another man's body, and all of those people around John (including the cyclist) are Sherlock and Molly's accomplices (homeless network? Mycroft helped?), and in fact they try to keep John away and take away the body almost immediately after the fall. John manages to check the pulse, and this is what convinced me that John must be drugged and that that body must be really dead, because I don't think Sherlock would risk John finding out the truth if he could prevent it in any way.
So where's Sherlock? On tumblr people were talking about the Truck Theory. See that truck full of bags right in front of him? That's where he jumped (and I think that's where the second body comes from. Maybe Molly was driving it? XD *imagines Molly with a fake moustache*)
Some think that's not a second body, but Sherlock himself covered in fake blood (I don't think so because that would take too much time, and S couldn't know that Moriarty would shoot himself, so he had to take into account that he would rush to see his body from the parapet. The only way was dropping the second body in the precise moment S fell into the truck.)
Of course Moffat's explanation will be completely different, but at least this is plausible enough to stop racking our brains over it XDD ...I really hope I made some sort of sense >u>' There's still the problem of the sniper, though...
Talking about Go, the worst you can do with cultural references is to add a note, but you must be drunk to misread "Hull" and translate it as Hell.>u> Heck, just, re-read...(the Spanish translator did that too though, maybe the copy they worked on had a spelling error XD)
The fact is, a bad translation ruins the book, at least in one country. They don't even bother to re-print it here =3= I've actually thought about writing to the publisher and say, look, have you ever thought that perhaps if you called the book Good Omens and not "Happy Apocalypse, everyone!" people would actually buy it? xD

I'll go with a shorter answer 
Oh god, seriously? Happy Apocalypse? All I can think now is the Always slogan.

xDDDDD I can't say I have the gift of brevity. YAY! \è7é/
Yes, with a jolly exclamation mark at the end. ...What the...Always?! XDDDD I have the feeling that the one who devised that slogan wasn't a woman.

Crowley has a very valid point. XD

Yes, but on the other hand, weapons are much more effective when handled by someone who looks completely harmless but is in fact very skilled B'D
