Day 10: “After my Turtledove!Aziraphale... Meet the Ineffable Birds!” – Good Omens
While we were talking about this dear Turtledove!Aziraphale, one of my followers @ineffablebirds, mentioned that they would have like to see Crowley as a black-billed magpie… the idea kept running a looong way through my head. So… here is a little gift, my friend! :-D
Meet Magpie!Crowley !
[Previous] [Next Day] [First Day] - Don't forget to 💕/ reblog ;-)
Personal challenge: a simple sketch each day
Goal: forcing me to keep things simple - inking, shading, just a few sashes of colour
Improvement pursued: to get the movement, the emotion, finding how to add depth, learning how to leave things barely finished
Max time allowed: 2 hours instead of 8-20 on my previous projects (2 hours for each of these sketches! I had a lot of free time this day :-p)
Today's theme chosen by me: So, of course Crowley is linked to the crow – and even more so since his little trick in the Job minisode, and the headcanon (?) about how he chose to change Crawly in “Crowley” in remembrance of this first adventure / collaboration with Aziraphale.
Buuut, Aziraphale is often associated with a dove (white hair, purity, Heaven and so on) and yet, yours truly decided that the turtledove was more appropriated (It happened right here!)
So why stop there ?
My reasons? Even if the crow is indeed very classy and matches well with Crowley, the Magpie does too. A specie said to be intelligent and altruistic, a signature chattering that is easily worth Crowley’s sniggering, and some touches of white in its plumage which furiously remind me of our demon’s not so dark alignment…
And then there is this old tale about how the magpies like to steal everything that shines. Between Crowley’s often showy getups and the fact that he did climbed the bloody Eden’s wall to capture the attention of the most luminous of all the angels, I don’t really know what more to say :-p
Upcoming Very soon, my human Turtledove!Aziraphale ! (Edit: he's here! link!)
(And a big, big THANK YOU to my dearest @malohkeh-main who always kindly translate my babblerings!)

THE BIRD PAGE IS HERE THE BIRD PAGE IS HERE
Honestly I love how they turned out, just the little doodles have helped me set a reference for some comics I plan on drawing soon! :3
(Also prepare for way too many bird facts :D)

Narrator: His milkshake did, in fact, bring Aziraphale to the yard.
Watched a documentary about birds and their adorable mating dances. Which, OF COURSE, lead me to sketch this.

"I went to monsieur rossignol's night classes in 1760."
Monsieur Rossignol, pour quoi tu ne chantes pas?
A group of the two of them here
Very inspired by art noveau :D thought process behind the art here
Couldnt decide which version I liked better so here are both
There's no way aziraphales wings would be well groomed in heaven

Day 11: "If I may?" - Good Omens
[Previous] [Next Day] [First Day] - Don't forget to 💕/ reblog ;-)
Personal challenge: a simple sketch each day
Goal: forcing me to keep things simple - inking, shading, just a few sashes of colour
Improvement pursued: to get the movement, the emotion, finding how to add depth, learning how to leave things barely finished
Max time allowed: 2 hours instead of 8-20 on my previous projects - more like 2h30 here, as usual when I decide to draw wings in this challenge
Today's theme chosen by me:
You previously met my Magpie !Crowley, please now allow me to present you my dear Turtledove!Aziraphale (human form). I am so in love with his wings, inspired by the European Turtledove wings. These wings are quite different from the ones I drew before in my other Good Omens fanarts, but that's because my previous wings were here to express an emotion, a movement, an intention (just like in this WIP here). For this one here, because I really wanted it to be realistic, I had to use some references and flying turtledoves pictures. But I was glad to finally draw something realistic but still inspiring motion AND emotion.
Maybe I’ll use this new knowledge later for ulterior bigger projects.
For your information, Aziraphale’s coat is quite the same as Magpie!Crowley’s. The coats continue in their back then switch to become some long and beautiful bird-tail feathers. I hope someday I’ll be able to draw their backside, so you can see what I imagine for them.
