Working on the GOOD OMENS graphic novel while watching PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS. I'm only one episode in, but I like it so far. Natalie Dormer is the lead. I can watch films and tv shows pretty well while doing color or inking.
The GOOD OMENS drawings are by hand, and I do all the color in Photoshop.

One Dress a Day Challenge
October: Black Redux
Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) / Sônia Braga as Leni Lamaison/Marta/Spider Woman
Tumblr media
Crimson Peak (2015) / Jessica Chastain as Lady Lucille Sharpe
"I expect others have already jumped on this one, but it's too good not to mention."
Tumblr media
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) / Jill St. John as Tiffany Case
Tumblr media
Penny Dreadful / Eva Green as Vanessa Ives
"She has several gorgeous black dresses but I'm not sure of episode #s."
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels / Natalie Dormer as Magda (and below)
"I haven't watched Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, but Natalie Dormer as Magda has some great black dresses."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Riverdale (s2e15, "There Will Be Blood") / Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom
"Cheryl is the character I've referred to as fully aware that she's living in a gothic novel, and embracing it to the hilt. This is her outfit for the reading of her father's will. Such a ludicrous show. I love it so much."
Tumblr media
Suspiria (1977) / Joan Bennett as Madame Blanc
"I doubt you'll want to watch Suspiria, the incoherent, bloody, but celebrated Italian horror film, but Joan Bennet as Madame Blanc (head of a dance academy that is also a coven of witches) has a terrific witchy black dress." (Yep, I am a self-admitted total wimp about horror.)
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) / Eva Green as Miss Peregrine
"I'm not actually certain this one is black - might be a very dark blue? Depends on lighting?" (Note: the costume looks black on my screen. Her hair, on the other hand, does seem to have a touch of blue.)
Tumblr media
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) / Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna

Moulin Rouge (2001) / Nicole Kidman as Satine
"The 'Gothic Tower' dress."

me gender envying demons in zoot suits fr
Tumblr media
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (left) — Natalie Dormer plays Rio, a ginger in a patterned zoot suit over an old rose shirt, and short hair styled in stiff waves on the right side of her head. She is one of several disguises of the demon Magda, in this case the one who riles the Los Angeles pachucos into revolt and fallout.
Good Omens (right) — a promotional still of David Tennant as Crowley in profile view, wearing an all black zoot suit (except the dark grey shirt and red necktie barely visible) with shades for his snake eyes and a fedora he adjusts on his head as he seems to check himself out in a dressing room mirror.
I also think
Magda and Crowley would set an entire country on fire if they were ever in each other's presence, thanks to Magda being the traditional temptress type who brings the evil out in human beings and Crowley just being a literal minor god who wants to enjoy life but was trapped in demonic villainy instead
pachucos and pachucas were clearly onto something when they decided on the zoot suit and global warming has robbed us all of the convenience of bringing this fashion style back

Такова женщина, на которую горько жалуется церковь, о которой Экклезиаст [гл. 7] говорит следующее:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ“Женщина, что горче смерти. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤОна — петля охотника; её сердце — тенёта, ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤа её руки — оковы“.

One Dress a Day Challenge- Part Two!
Anything Goes December
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels- Natalie Dormer as Alex, Elsa, Rio and Magda
I wasn’t a huge fan of this show (outside of Nathan Lane’s incredible performance), but the costumes worn by Natalie Dormer as all of her multiple characters are so cool!  The show is set in 1938, so there are some interesting 1930′s looks, as well as the fantasy elements.  Magda is basically a shapeshifting demon...and she changes into these other women...
Alex is a secretary with a more dowdy look...boxy suit, little glasses and orthopedic shoes.
Elsa is a German-American housewife...so her look is fairly simple...not too flashy...but a simple, almost innocent wardrobe with very light, soft colors and fabrics.
Rio is a Mexican-American woman whose wardrobe is made up of men’s suits...long jackets, vests and some really bold colors and patterns.
Magda herself doesn’t wear anything from the 1930′s...her main dress is so cool...the fabric almost makes it look like liquid, and I love the pleats along the shoulders.  And the coat she wears in the second to last photo is gorgeous!!  I would totally wear that coat. :)

I'm on ep 3 of Penny Dreadful City of Angels and although I'm enjoying the series a lot (and I almost cried in both ep 2 and ep 3 I'll admit) there's something about the series that bothers me a little.
When I found out about the series' existence I imagined two possibilities for it to carry the name Penny Dreadful; 1. It takes place in the same universe as the original series or 2. It is a new unrelated series, but it carries some concepts that tie it with the first project in some way. So far I haven't seen how the City of Angels universe fits into the original series' universe in mythology so I was inclined to believe the second option was the right one and that's where my annoyance started.
Penny Dreadful has always been a series with a very noticeable concept, literature and classic monster movies. Yes, there was a big influence of gothic literature and the atmosphere that the Victorian era had in general, but the big link between the plots of the characters and the creation of the characters itself has always been literature and monster movies. The basic concept of Penny Dreadful, after all, was this. Therefore, a series that carries the same name but is not set in the same universe would naturally carry the same concept. Not in relation to literature and monster movies, but in connecting its characters and their plots to a basic concept.
There are times when I feel like I'm watching different series with different concepts and that the plots don't intertwine enough to give the feeling that all the characters are in the same space at the same time. I think this is down to the fact that Natalie Dormer's character is the link between most of the plots and having a single character playing that role makes it less believable that the plots really have a connection (although she is doing an amazing job playing different personas that fit very well in the context of the people she interacts with).
What I want to say, and I could have said it in a few words, is that I still don't understand exactly why “Penny Dreadful” is together with “City of Angels” when the series does not resemble the original neither in mythology nor in structure. I hope that with the passage of episodes this feeling will pass.
Anyway, I'm loving the series and the characters! The themes it tackles and the mythology it's building on are very interesting to watch and I would have swallowed the series in one go if I had the time. (And I've had a crush on Natalie Dormer since I saw her in Elementary so I'm loving getting a lot more screen time from her!!!).

penny dreadful: city of angels is fun because it's mostly played as a straight criminal/political intrigue, but then poor maria is living a real life horror story with frank the demon child
