Good omens spoiler!!

So I saw a lot of people talking about the kissing scene, and I would like to share my thoughts. I think that the reason why Aziraphale says "I forgive you" is because he is afraid that the kiss is an attempt to tempt him and not to show him love. By the time of the kiss he has the mindset of heaven vs hell and he does not see Crowley as a separate side, but as a demon (we can see that when he says "you're the bad guys"). Because the kiss is so desperate and aggressive, he does not want to see the feelings Crowley wants to show him, but instead, he sees an act of demon trying to tempt him. He's trying to believe that this is the truth so he can go to heaven without any doubt. In the audio description, we can hear that Aziraphale is disappointed because he does not want to see the love Crowley is showing him. We can see that when they are kissing, angel is trying to kiss back, but chooses not to in the end so he could choose the 'greater good', which is fixing heaven. So that is my theory, I hope my English is not too bad

DRAMA!CROWLEY, ACTIVATE!

So we meet here again, in front of another flaming-as-anything-ginger Crowley. We can't keep doing this, you know. People will talk.

More info and hi res under the jumpppppppppppp.

I wanted to try my hand at a standalone portrait of Crowley before I jump back into what will inevitably be another Aziracrow portrait---I'm thinking 1920s theme. Flapper Crowley & Aziraphale? But that's for another time.

I wanted to try grey scale under-painting in digital art. A success, I hope? I'm pretty happy with the portrait (for now, give it a week and I'll hate everything about this painting, happens every time!)

I struggled a bit on the eyes in this piece. I normally paint straight color to canvas, so I have a method to my madness with painting eyes. Not so, here! This was new territory. I'm not 100% satisfied, but that just means I need more practice.

And because I learned how to paint snake scales for the last portrait, I decide to reprise that theme and torture myself again keep practicing them, this time with iridescence. I wanted to keep the scales low-key, though, almost as if they're just emerging or maybe the viewer caught a momentary glimpse of scales through the veil to an ethereal occult plane. Additionally, I wanted some good creepy claw hands with long fingernails (big fan of creepy, me) for a proper demonic manicure.

About: All digital, all Photoshop. Orig. 7200 x 5400 px. ~1 week of off-and-on painting. Title is taken from Reptile by Nine Inch Nails because I guess I'm still naming art after 30 year old albums? Is this a thing I do, now?

...and if so, can you imagine what I'll have to draw to use lyrics from Hurt in the title?
