A few revisions on the first-nose, hand with knife, garments- and a resize on the second so both fit standard frames, as I've been asked to make prints. I NEED YOUR INPUT tonight (10/31) and tomorrow before noon est; are there any issues that stand out to you in either? If you check out the previous versions, you'll see two different colors for the first (warm and cooler). Which do you prefer?

Neil Gaiman is coming to town for a talk Monday (11/6), so I'd like to get a couple of copies to him of the portrait study (with the Apple). Even though we've shared many of the same friends over the decades, I've never met him (don't know if I ever will). However, you never know; someone he knows might need an illustration in Da Vinci's style. Worth a shot, anyway!

Thanks everyone!

PS- the reason I need extra eyes to check this? Only one of mine works, and only small areas of it, so I can't see the whole thing at once clearly. Also, I hate working directly from photo reference, so the face came from "Casanova". Age was added and the lighting changed. I do so love to torture myself, obviously!

Absolutely BRILLIANT edit! It's creator taps into the darker, dramatic elements of the series very effectively. If Amazon used this to promote Good Omens, they would attract a whole new audience! (Better sound when viewed on YouTube).

“Everyday” by Buddy Holly

Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a roller coaster

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey hey

Everyday, it's a-gettin' faster

Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey hey

Everyday seems a little longer

Every way, love's a little stronger

Come what may, do you ever long for

True love from me?

Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a roller coaster

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey hey

Everyday seems a little longer

Every way, love's a little stronger

Come what may, do you ever long for

True love from me?

Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a roller coaster

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey hey

Love like yours will surely come my way

Who here has seen “RRR”, the most epic Bromance of 2022, now playing on Netflix? Rakish and charismatic Raju (left, symbolized by fire) works undercover as a Delhi police officer; he’s obsessively focused on saving his village from British occupation after losing everyone he loves to them, but he has lost his own way in the process. The man who helps to save him from himself is Bheem (water) the protector of his peaceful forest tribe who is on a secret rescue mission of his own. They instantly become the best of friends after they join forces in one of the most imaginative heroic action sequences ever committed to film, but eventually find themselves at cross purposes, their friendship, futures and those of their people hang in the balance.

The genre of this movie is ALL OF THEM save for “horror” or “documentary”. The art direction, cinematography, casting and soundtrack are all top notch, leading to a lot of Oscar buzz. It’s over-the-top and downright bonkers at times, but it also has a deep sense of sincerity that is rarely found in Hollywood feature films today. Give it a chance; you’ll thank me later! ;)

A CHALLENGE to lighten the mood in these tense times! Post the most (intentionally) ridiculous/ hilarious Good Omens themed video, comic, etc. that you’ve randomly stumbled upon while searching for something else. Heads up; NSFW lyrics, depending on where you work: https://youtu.be/J-utYrFngwE

Ahahahahaha! These EFX artists just get better and better. Love OwlKitty’s expressions! (Check out their other videos as well).

So, does this mean that they’re now living together?

Everything We Know About Good Omens Season 2 So Far

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet fans can't wait for season 2 of Good Omens, and we don't blame them. Here's what we know about the second sea

A soon-to-be addition to “Da Vinci’s Demon (?) fan art and fic prompt”, which can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30983144 .Crowley as he would have appeared when arriving at Da Vinci’s studio for his portrait sitting-or rather, a caricatured version of how he would have appeared. This is done in my standard commercial style, one which I’ve been doing for over 30 years, and which bores me half comatose. So I added an excessive amount of shading and details in a few areas to break with tradition. At any rate; this is why the Da Vinci emulation was well outside of my comfort zone!

A big Thank You to @charlottemadison42 and @kaiannanthi for being my eyes when my one that still operates went on strike!

Paternal owl love! This barred owl papa is so attentive to his owlets, and he doesn’t have it easy; their mother is blind in one eye, so he does ALL the hunting, as well as most other parental responsibilities! Fortunately I’ve been able to make it a *little* easier by bringing them crayfish from time to time (I’ll post some some of those pics eventually). He’s SO proud of his boy!

A slight change in casting for the third season of “Staged”.

Oops! FORTH season!

So I watched this series as research for my little Da Vinci emulation project (link below). A brief exchange in the first season brought this to mind immediately... Come on, you know you thought of it as well! I’ll be shocked if I’m the first person to do a not-so-speedy speed paint of this “recasting”. And no, I haven’t finished my taxes yet. I AM A MASTER OF PROCRASTINATION!

I’m on a break from major social media sites, so feel free to share this with the actors and/ or their family members if you like. Might even give their kids giggle fits, and that would make my day. :)

I still haven’t found just the right inspiration for an Aziraphale in Da Vinci’s style, but if you have any thoughts on the matter, please feel free to message me! I hope to eventually post one to this thread: https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/76525106?page=4&show_comments=true&view_full_work=false#comment_424558022

REVISED EDITION IN CHAPTER 2 WITH BONUS ART! -Prints coming soon!

After seeing Tennant in something else recently, I realized that I had his confounding nose all wrong, so here’s a tweaked version (can’t seem to edit the OP. Sorry).

The handwriting on the formal portrait study says “The Serpent of Eden, mid September, 1499” while that on the informal life drawing (sleeping Crowley) reads “The sleeping serpent of temptation and wiles. Age does not wither nor custom fade his infinite variety”. Fic authors are welcome to write their own notations on the drawings, or digitally damage them in any way if it serves their stories.

I added two versions of the portrait study, one fairly oxidized by age and/ or non archival storage, and one less aged/oxidized. Use whichever one best suites your narrative. Have fun with them!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Sorry that I really don’t know my way around this site, or where else to post it for those who write fics. Feel free to do so if you feel so inclined. No, so sorry, I don’t have an Instagram or a website anymore. You’ve seen loads of my work already, anyhow. Not important where, but rest assured, it’s everywhere, and it looks nothing like these.
