Got the flats done for this sexy Crowley piece! I’m still working on the Aziraphale painting so it might be a bit before I get to finish shading and rendering this one but I’m super happy with how the expression turned out! I swear I redrew his face like 50 times.

42 hours and 45 minutes of blood, sweat and a LOT of tears went into this… my wrist hurts.

Good Omens is over. Season 3 broke me (I’m still undecided if I loved it or hated it). But this scene absolutely destroyed me, I loved it.

Anyway, hi x

Some progress photos of the Aziraphale painting I am currently working on, didn’t have much time to work on it this weekend but hoping to finish it this week.

And she’s done! Super happy with how this turned out with the texture and symmetry. My friend said it had super Watership Downs vibes. But I love the idea of doing more pieces for some of the pegan holidays.

New piece I’m working on to represent the spring equinox. Really excited with how it’s coming together :)

New Crowley piece I’m working on. Kinda loving the victory curls… and maybe Aziraphale can pull something else out of a hat lol

Been doing an April art challenge with a local group and designed this Cherry Blossom bat for this week. I really love how this turned out :)

Saw this snake meme and had to draw a Crowley version lol.

Love his snake form and honestly might draw other snake meme’s as him

Ahhhh the trailer is out!!! I am somehow even more hyped than I was before and I didn’t think that was even possible!

Sharing my first ever Aziracrow art piece to honor the occasion…. Less than a month!!!

Haven’t really posted art here before but I’m so happy with how this turned out.

Cursed

“There is no curse or evil spell, that’s worse than one we give ourselves.” - Rigoletto

This line has stuck with me through many years of life. It is an easy thing to feel that life and the universe is against us. Easy to rage and blame at our friends, family, boss, situation; anything but ourselves.

I would never be so presumptuous to say that all of our problems are of our own making, but rather that it is an interesting thought that this might more often be the case than we would like to believe.

Insanity

I kind of hate it when people say that the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I hate it because it’s not the definition it’s just something that Einstein said once. That’s being said it is also really f@&$ing brilliant.

We all do it with one thing or another, but the one thing that we do it the most with is relationships. We date, we break up, we say we want to be single, we get lonely and then POOF.... we convince ourselves that things are different this time, that we won’t make the same mistakes and so on and so forth and before you know it.... you are right back where you started.

I suppose you could call it insanity but I prefer to be more honest, the more accurate word would be stupidity.

Conviction

What is conviction? It’s a word I feel like most people know, but when was the last time you had to use it? When was the last time you heard or read it used and actually felt like it was justified?

Most of the time I feel like I only see it when people are talking about someone’s lack of it. Are there truly any people left in the world with true conviction?

Maybe that isn’t fair. You see people all the time who stick to their beliefs no matter what, but it always seems to be the people who believe in the worst things. Why is it easier to have conviction when it comes to hatred than to love? Greed instead of charity?

Maybe it isn’t the lack of conviction in society that has left me feeling so disheartened but rather of lack of integrity. I want to be a man of integrity with wild amounts of conviction towards truly benevolent ideals, and I’d really like to see more people who want that just as much I do.

So I was reading a post where they talked about how every 7 years, every cell in your body is replaced. So every 7 years you are essentially a completely new person.

The post was very positive, talking from the perspective of a victim of abuse, saying isn’t it such a comforting thought that in 7 years I will have a body that you will have never touched.

I understand and respect this comfort and would never want to take that from anyone, but I couldn’t help but wonder about the implication of the reverse and found it far less than comforting.

A year ago I touched you for the last time, and in 6 years I will have nothing left of you. This completely new body will have nothing but memories and with each day those memories also grow fainter. How horribly sad that even the cellular memory of your touch will be as lost to me as you are.

It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in

Or the light coming off of your skin

The fragile heart you protected for so long

Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

It's not your hands searching slow in the dark

Or your nails leaving love's watermark

It's not the way you talk me off the roof

Your questions like directions to the truth

It's knowing that this can't go on forever

Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone

Maybe we'll get forty years together

But one day I'll be gone

Or one day you'll be gone.
