Milk-tea-no-sugar - OMG! It's Almost Christmas!!!

i hope that people who leave rants in their tags, people who leave descriptions for their playlists, people who have funny titles for their essays, people who read aloud to themselves, people who giggle at their own jokes, and people who smile when they make eye contact with strangers are all having excellent days

any adhd kids out there that loved long (3+ hour) car rides because it gave you an acceptable excuse to stare blankly out at an ever-changing background and listen to music on loop / daydream extensively please raise your hands. i wanna check something

Terminus

Well, hello. I usually paint portraits in oil. But now that I’ve got a tablet and PS, they open up the opportunity for artistic exploration that would normally take a long time via traditional methods. I don’t have to wait 2 days for a layer to dry for a start... so that’s encouraging.

Anyways, I like Good Omens. It also happens to be the perfect context to examine different art styles from Renaissance to Victorian times. I started this little historical Good Omens art series last month. Let’s begin with Golgotha Aziraphale and Crowley as Rembrandt style oil portraits :)

some important advice

WHOA

Me: I want to know languages

Person: then study

Me: no study. Only know.

Elizabethan Aziraphale and Crowley in the style of the 16th century miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard. Hilliard didn’t like chiascuro, or any sort of shadow really, which makes getting the resemblance quite hard. The lockets are genuine pieces I pulled from museum websites for mock-up only.

Aziraphale’s inscription: Si tabula daretur digna animum mallem. It translates to “if one could but paint his mind.”

Crowley’s inscription: Alget, qui non ardet. It translates to “he becomes cold who does not burn.”

Me, imagining a scene in my head: beautiful poetic prose that gracefully and artfully describes the scene in vivid detail, giving the reader concise imagery and beautiful wordplay to ruminate on.

Me, actually writing: The angry man throwed his chair through the window angrily and bigly. “I’m angry and pissed off.” He said because he was mad.
