Swords & flames

Crowley surrenders to the one he loves, consequences be damned.

This is an illustration for my very dear Caspian's romantic gladiator story Of Swords And Flames, especially for their birthday. I so recommend ...

WIP: Crow

Enough folks requested a companion to Aziraphale and his cardinal, and I thought a leucistic crow felt like an appropriate representation of Crowley -- clever, inquisitive, outcast, affectionate to the right person.

This and one other paper piece will be my priority this month, and also I J...

WIP: a good suit

Funny that before the show came out, I always pictured Crowley in a black suit and tie like his little illustration on the cover of my version. Now a tie feels off. But I'm kinda stoked to finish this because I have some neat ideas for colors! A good, interesting, flattering suit can be tricky to...

On the menu for March

I don't drink, but if I did it would be with this expression. 

Hi! As this posts, I am in Florida visiting my sister and brother in law. It's my kid's first trip to the mainland, and we'll be going to Gatorland, Dino World and DisneyWorld! In fact, we'll probably be there at this momen...

Cardinal

I've finally finished the paper art from November! 😅 Literally last night at 3 am. I'm prepping this post in the ten minutes before we leave for the airport, so I'll choose a winner from my Nazar tier once I've landed on the mainland. Have I ever colored a bird? I'm not sure! Cardinals are my ...

NSFW: Vines (CW: dubcon)

Mind that tag! I had labeled it noncon at first, but then think about it. If Crowley wanted out of there, he'd be out of there. He can shrink to the size of an electron, he can bite the shit out of stuff, he can stop time. No plant, even sentient, is gonna be stronger than him. Not to overjustify...

February wallpapers

Just a few this month, but some pretty ones! Including a spicy one cropped to be acceptable for use on the metro.

You can find these, as well as desktop versions of some, and all other wallpapers in your respective Patreon Google drive folder, which you can find linked under the “drive fo...

Villainelle, served two ways

Please welcome to the stage Villainelle!

I've wanted to draw drag queen Crowley for ages, but I've seen a couple amazing takes on it already, so I hesitated. But this feels right! I did the second one first, based on an older Raja look, but friends agreed it just wasn't Cro...

NSFW: make a mess of him

Crowley's already wrecked and Aziraphale's just getting started.

A friend and I were speculating that Aziraphale could probably make it taste like something nice, like haupia or creme brulee. But then they'd just never get anything else done.

WIP: Swords & flames

My sweet beignet Caspian has a birthday coming up, and also is constantly doing wonderful things for me, and also I've been wanting to do this since they brought up the idea of gladiator Aziraphale. This is a scene from their fantastic, romantic story 2023-02-11 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

NSFW: Gospel

If you've never heard Børns' song "Holy Ghost", that's been one of my go-to Crowley & Aziraphale songs for years. Very lovesick and sexy and spiritual.

This was originally going to be a lot more explicit, but then I did the wings and I was like, you know what... I think it's enough. Az...

Valentine

Something appropriately romantique for the coming holiday, non? A rendezvous in the French countryside, and you could mistake Aziraphale's bows for butterflies. Pink peonies and discreetly stolen pecks on the cheek, COULD it be any sappier? I think not.

On the menu for February!

Hello again! I am back to business after the unluckiest family holiday I've ever experienced, as detailed in my previous post. Fortunately everything seems to be on the right track now, everybody's doing okay. And I wound up with a lot of time on my hands to sit in recovery rooms and draw, so the...

The mother of all updates

Where to start... January threw my family and I for a wild loop. My dad came to visit just before New Year's, and he wound up in the emergency room several times for DIFFERENT things, had multiple invasive surgeries, nearly bled out, and lastly broke the ankle he could actually walk on. ...

Silly icon project + UPDATE!

I decided to do that thing that goes around Twitter sometimes, where you draw your mutuals' PFPs "poorly", only I'm not good at making things funny, so I just made them nice with little twists. These are some of my dear ones and I'm sure you'll recognize some of these! I'll tag everyone when I po...

December coloring pages (+ a new one)

Happy Christmas!

I am still sick, but I'm on the ups. David had a wonderful birthday! Thank you for all your well wishes across the board. Even if I can't respond to all, they mean so much to me that you're thinking of me. You're wonderful and I treasure you, and hope you're also h...

(NSFW) Guiding hand

Crowley can hardly believe he’s the one allowed to do this, to have this trust, to carefully position these ropes and tighten the knots, to see his angel’s posture soften into it, to witness and to work, and let the happiness wash over them both.

I thought, oh, I’m too lazy to do a ba...

December wallpapers & update

I am sick with a gnarly head cold, and I'm trying to get better in record time for my son's birthday party, so I've just been mainlining cold medicine and sleeping. My priority is getting the paper art done for this month, but I reckon I won't be able to finish another Bitter/Sweet page for you g...

Pickled herring

I have no excuse for chibis, there they are. Gotta love both those coats. And the CHOPS. Enjoy!

Lovers' ballet

I'm really happy with this. It feels like Crowley is sinking down into a kiss. I was going to give them a black dress, but honestly Crowley deserves pink, and what better time than now.

What's the most romantic song you've ever heard? For me, there's a lot of competition, but right this min...

WIP: Lover's ballet

I love ballet. I was going to do another Nutcracker Suite piece, but then saw this pose from Romeo & Juliet and it was so intimate it knocked the wind clear out of me. The trust, the tenderness -- this is two people in love for the first (and last) time, totally without fear, ready to lose th...

WIP: Cardinal

I thought I'd try to get a jump on the paper piece this month, since the back third of December is always bonkers for me, but especially this year.

I grew up in Ohio, near Cleveland, and the state bird is the cardinal. Wintertime always makes me think of vivid red cardinals against a snowy ...

On the menu for December

Happy December, and all the festivities therein! It's cookie time!

What can you expect in December?

+ At least one more Bitter/Sweet page, which will be leaning into aftercare
+ Somethinggg Yule-ish, I think. Something evergreeny.
+ My $10 print sale again! Actually, I forgot ab...

November Lucky Cat/Nazar drawing!

This month's original piece goes to HKBlack! This makes me very happy (it always does) because you're one of the most vocally supportive people in the fandom, and that means ...

First rain

Paper art finished before the last day of the month (in my time zone)?? SACRE BLEU

It’s been rainy and overcast here. Nice weather for snuggling up with an angel/demon you just met (he seems perfectly nice and he’s very pretty).

I’ll choose the Lucky Cat or Nazar who gets the or...

November wallpapers!

A few recent pieces, and also the cute Hanukkah and Nutcracker pieces I did a couple years ago, so you can get into the season! These two will be one of the TWO double-sided postcards Nazars will get in December.

These (as well as desktop versions of some) and all other wallpapers can be fo...

Four styles

Neil Gaiman said something on Tumblr the other day that referenced Crowley's "first and fourth" hairstyles in Season 2, and naturally we all got very excited. A lot of folks have drawn Crowley with four different styles, and I couldn't resist!

We've got a Lauren Bacall, some viking braids, ...

NSFW: Bitter/Sweet (part 17)

It's significant that at no point is Aziraphale concerned that his demon will snap on him like a crocodile, and feels privileged to see him like this.

As always, newest page first, followed by previous pages consecutively for backreading 🖤

Bitter/Sweet sketch (SFW)

I don't usually post WIPs from Bitter/Sweet, but just to let you know I'm working on it, and also this felt very sweet to me. Who doesn't want to cuddle a lovely  monster?

Lucky penny (only slightly NSFW)

There was some discourse on Twitter about fans needlessly sexualizing Crowley and Aziraphale, and I just had to laugh about it. If there's any demon in the pantheon who'd wear a miniskirt and gratuitously bend over to pick up a pound coin directly outside the door to A.Z. Fell & Co -- while a...
