I surprised myself with some power leftover. I feel getting weaker in my home but am able to work in the woods still. I want to be the last man standing instead of dying day by day and piece by piece. #bushcraft #woodshelter #workintheforest #buildingshelter #thelastproject #thelastmanstanding #outdoor #gettingold #sickmanworking #summerproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CSJdzJ1H0rQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

^Cast Shadows- Edmund Kesting

I found the photograph above in ‘The Year’s Photography 1931-32′, a book from which I have found a lot of very accomplished photographs, regardless of their age. 

The above image almost conjures impressionist references, bringing to mind Goya’s ‘The Nude Maja’ or Manet’s ‘Olympia’. Both of which exlore the concepts of voyeurism and passivity of a woman. This images conjures this also, as a result of the subject’s downwards gaze, which although different to the confrontational stare of the subjects in the paintings mentioned above, is indicative of the woman being a passive object, there to entice man.

Another aspect of this image which I find particularly interesting is the fact that the light here begins to abstract the figure, the shadow of what appears to be a mesh seat drawing lines and contrasts across the figure’s body, therefore creating new shapes and shadows. This abstraction is further carried by the open composition of the image- the figure has been cropped extremely close, removing the knee and the top of the head, therefore leaving the figure incomplete, encouraging the observer to view the subject as a congregation of shapes and light within a frame.

Mr Whiskers is also key to The Weird Girl's character as he is her companion and she is never seen without him. Therefore I also want to include him in the booklet. I drew from the gif above and included text to begin thinking about combining text and imagery for my final outcome. I drew this piece in white pencil on black card and enjoyed drawing in reverse (making up the piece through only colouring the highlighted parts and leaving out the shadow).

TV Adaptation Casting

Interestingly, part way through this project the cast list for the upcoming Good Omens TV series, co-produced by BBC and Amazon, has been revealed. I was hoping the casting wouldn’t be revealed whilst I was doing this project, as I didn’t want the ‘official’ image of Aziraphale to influence my own interpretation. However, after seeing the casting, the actor (Michael Sheen, left) playing Aziraphale is already pretty close to how I imagined him looking - long-ish curly hair, a friendly face and a somewhat camp personality. I’m very happy with the casting of both of the characters. The casting also gives clarity to the physical age of the characters, something which is never addressed in the book. As Neil Gaiman has had quite a heavy imput into the casting, it helps to illustrate what the characters look like in one half of the writing teams’ minds.

There was some backlash amongst fans due to the casting not fitting some people’s ideas of the characters; especially Aziraphale who some people imagined as being not white due to the lack of physical description. Gaiman wrote the following on his Tumblr on the subject:

The people in your head and your drawings are still there, and still real and still true. I’ve seen drawings of hundreds of different Aziraphales over the years, all with different faces and body-shapes, different hair and skin, and would never have thought to tell anyone who drew or loved them that that wasn’t what Aziraphale looked like. (And a couple of years after we wrote it, I was amused to realise that the Aziraphale in my head looked nothing like the  Aziraphale in Terry’s head.) I’ve loved every instance of Good Omens Cosplay I’ve seen, and in no case did I ever think anyone was doing it wrong: they were all Aziraphales and Crowleys, and it was always a delight.

Good Omens has been unillustrated for 27 years, which means that each of you gets to make up your own look for the characters, your own backstories, your own ideas about how they will behave.
