Antony Crowley had a bizarre dream; a medley of images that no longer made sense after he woke up. The daily routine quickly pulled him away from the memory of it, but as he was walking home back from the university later that day, he thought of it again. He rarely had such vivid dreams, let alone so fantastical...
Lost in thought, he turned right one street further than his usual route. That's how he spotted the bookshop, really. He stepped in, not thinking much of it, and was greeted by a kind and handsome face.
Funny, that it should happen that way.
It was a nice day.
A piece on destiny, chance and love that transcends universes. If you want more on my process drawing this, pop under the readmore 💗
I'm an absolute sucker for soulmates so good they find each other in every universe.
I really wanted to play with the idea of Aziraphale and Crowley's love being so powerful it imprinted on the new world, the seeds of it lying dormant for millennia until it blooms again.
I also love thinking about how a single choice can change one's life. Had he not taken the next turn right, Crowley would've never met Asa. Now, if one believes in the supernatural, perhaps someone gave him a nudge ;)
Details:
The piece transitions from purples and pinks to earthy tones. I tend to draw the celestials with sort of a soap-bubble/oil slick palette that gives it this ethereal feeling; For Tony and Asa I wanted to move towards earthy tones.
My goal for the dream panel was to make it feel almost like you are in a primordial space: twisting dark scales, suggestions of things, fragments. The essence of an angel and a demon like rich soil for things to grow from.
Had lots of fun drawing this, it was almost meditative.
it still bothers me (that and, you know, a whole lot more..) that they could totally have tied that end... have jesus join them and talk to God??? have him write some in the book of life??? have him play Cards with The Almighty and Win because Kids, amirite???? they had ADAM (a child!!!) trick SATAN why wouldn't they have JESUS trick GOD it'd be amazing
