HEY FRIENDS so I went ahead and made a public-facing profile over on the ol’ AO3 to post some of my fanart! I don’t know if I would have done this previously, but feels like a good fit that I’m doing some more narrative pieces that kinda function as little story vignettes in and of themselves.

(Plus people have written fics based off of my work, which is extremely sweet, and it’s kinda nice having a place to platform them 🖤)

abandonedtennisball asked:

Hey how does it feel to have the go fandom in the palm of your fucking hand rn (Btw you’re the best)

SO surprised and delighted!! I did these initial sketches way back in mid-August and had been slowly chipping away at them over the course of a couple months, so I was just anxiously nitpicking every little detail by the time I posted the finished art. The reaction has been so dang lovely.

…Can’t believe I almost did this whole sequence with Crowley’s glasses ON, what a fool I was 😔

(plus a couple little alternate ending sketches when I was still figuring out the pacing of the whole thing)

Aaaaand just in case anyone didn’t get around to listening to the Blossom Dearie song I was referencing, here ya go:

An illustration of Crowley from Good Omens dressed as Nanny Ashtoreth, albeit a far sexier version that Neil Gaiman probably intended. She's posed like a 1950's Elvgren pin-up, her glasses sliding coyly down her nose, lifting up her skirt to presumably adjust her stockings. Or something. That's her excuse, anyway. Why is her blouse translucent? Well that's not for us to know, but it probably has to do with that cute gardener she's making eyes at off-screen over by the potting shed. Caption is an excerpt from the Good Omens novel: “Something about her might have said nanny, but it said it in an undertone of the sort employed by British butlers in a certain type of American film. It also coughed discreetly and muttered that she could well be the sort of nanny who advertises unspecified but strangely explicit services in certain magazines.”

Everyone saw Crowley dressed up as Nanny Ashtoreth and wondered what she’d look like as a mid-century pinup, right, all of us, not just me 😬

Thought it would be fun to see how I drew David Tennant 12 years ago vs. now

david tennant doctor who tenth doctor good omens crowley I can still see a lot of my same stylistic quirks! The bits of hair at the temples and the nape of the neck just with a decade of sloooowly sliding into a more realistic style added into the mix

you all really get me

no one and I mean NO ONE compliments like tumblr I cherish every single tag the whiplash between sweetness and absolute depravity it's everything to me

Image 1/5: An illustration of Crowley & Aziraphale from the show Good Omens. Aziraphale is contentedly sitting on a tufted chair: one leg crossed, reading a book, scotch in hand. Crowley looms, looking down at him with INTENT behind his eyes. He’s made quite a dent in his scotch. Aziraphale is completely oblivious. Caption: I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 2/5: Crowley leans over Aziraphale, his knee on the chair as he sets his scotch aside. Aziraphale looks up and notices him for the first time as he idly turns a page. Caption: There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 3/5: Crowley is fully straddling Aziraphale in his chair now, calmly taking off his reading glasses and setting aside his book for him. Aziraphale looks up at Crowley, curious, no longer distracted. He goes to set his drink down. Caption: You’re like the finish of a novel that I’ll finally have to take to bed (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 4/5: Crowley leans in to cup Aziraphale’s face, his thumb between his lips. Aziraphale is flustered, blushed. The scotch is dropped to the floor and long forgotten as he tries to figure out where to put his hands. Caption: You Fascinate Me (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Image 5/5: IN FOR THE KILL. Crowley leans in to kiss Aziraphale, one hand on his cheek while the other grips the back of his neck. Aziraphale sits up, leans forward, and gives himself permission to enjoy this. His hands are still tentative, but he’ll figure it out soon enough. Caption: …So. (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)

Don’t think I ever shared the cover art I did for Forrest Byrnes: Up In Smoke on the Playdate last year, styled to look like a USFS-sanctioned NES game—had so much fun beating the heck out of this thing to make it look like something you found in the back room of an EB Games.

“what’s posted on the internet stays there forever” is true for everything except that one piece of fanart you saw when you were 10 that changed the trajectory of your life forever. you will never find that again it is gone forever

Oh man I have a folder in Dropbox that’s just titled “Formative Art” for exactly this reason—any time I luck across some ancient art that permanently imprinted on my little middle school brain I HOARD IT into my little folders. Just in case these were particularly influential to anyone else, a couple of my heavy hitters:

Anna Misak:

Bara-chan:

Stephanie Lostimolo:

doragonlw asked:

So sorry if you have already been asked this question and have answered it!

But I was just wondering about the Steam 20th anniversary art:

Who was it that decided which memes you were gonna draw and which characters were drawn in said memes?

Did you pick which memes to draw yourself? Was it a case of you found different memes that you thought would look good/be funny with certain characters and presented your argument to the person in charge?

Or did someone just come into the office with a folder filled with memes, gave it to you and asked if you could draw the memes with certain characters in mind?

We started with a loose spreadsheet that outlined the memes and pop culture events that happened in each respective year, and I pulled from that (plus any additional memes I could think of) to start roughing out a plan—I wanted to 1) make sure I had a pretty good distribution across all of the Valve properties, and 2) focus on memes that are cringe but in like a sentimental way, since we’re making a lot of pretty stale references.

I cleared out most of my PureRef board, but there are still a couple dregs of unused memes in there:

I matched up most of the characters/memes myself, and then would bug the team to fill in the blanks if there were years or properties I was stuck on. I’m never gonna know as much about CS or Dota 2 as I do about Half-Life and Portal, so I didn’t want to leave them in the dust.

Other than that I just ran them by the team to make sure they all scanned at a quick glance, but beyond that no real official approval process! Super fun just getting carte blanche with this one.

cat-tastr0phe asked:

I saw browsing your twitter that you had an artbook? Would you ever sell more copies online? I would love to have one but I can't make it to LightBox Expo, and your art has been inspiring me since I was 11 on DeviantArt. Thank you for responding!
