One thing I really love about the Rivers of London series is that the narrator is this guy who is canonically interested in almost everything and periodically gets distracted during stakeouts because he stops to read a plaque, so it's very natural in the course of the narration for him to be like, "Hold that thought and let me tell you the history of this very tasteful lingerie shop in Soho."

'Some days it seems so long ago, and some days…'

I'm deeply fond of Thomas Nightingale and also he frequently makes me very sad, so I wanted to draw something about that. Also, I figured if anyone would suit Leyendecker illustration vibes, which I'm really into right now, he would.

(Drawn in alcohol markers and coloured fineliners, and image described in alt text.)

#thomas nightingale #rivers of london #ben aaronovitch #moon over soho #mine: fanart #this man turns out different every time i draw him but i do like this version #i'll have to see if i can keep him consistent from now on #also i found grey fineliners and they're my new favourite thing #also also i should draw flowers more that was fun #i don't usually go in for flower symbolism #but nightingale and poppies was a concept that really stuck in my brain

@jinxedwood I put the rivers of London on my wishlist and got it for Christmas. Page one is off to a hilarious and relatable start.

“My Dad says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you're born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube and by the time the train's pulled into Piccadilly Circus they've become a Londoner.” ― Ben Aaronovitch, Moon Over Soho

Doctor Who: Remembrance of the Daleks (25.1, BBC, 1988)

I've been getting increasingly obsessed with the Rivers of London books over the past few months, and since I'm always a sucker for sad immortals and mentor types I've also developed some pretty serious Blorbo Emotions about one Thomas Nightingale.

I filled a sketchbook page in the process of figuring out how I want to draw him, and I'm pretty happy with the face I've come up with. The smaller expression sketches were a bit more quick and experimental, but they're a decent place to start from. I need to figure out Peter and the rest of the gang as well, I want to do So Much art of these guys...

Surprisingly, when I did, his reaction was outrage that somebody had to apply to a panel to determine what gender they were--he didn't say it, but I got the strong impression that he felt such panels were intrinsically un-British. Like eugenics legislation, banning the burka and air conditioning.

He doesn't understand cell phones but he's got the spirit.

DCI Thomas Nightingale and PC Peter Grant, from the Peter Grant series. Been re-listening the audiobooks so I remember what happens before I get to the newest novels. Last time I drew those two was 2018!!
