Summary: Crowley tests his new invention out on his captive audience.
Artist's notes: Turns out that male corsets were in fashion for a while. Aziraphale is trussed up in a beta version, courtesy of Mademoiselle Crowley.







Happy Holidays, [livejournal.com profile] lune_and_asters, from your Secret Artist!

What lively but so adept brushwork! And the muted palette is lush and velvety--heh, even SMELLS late 18th--early Victorian.

The foreground objects nicely hint both at their location, inevitably, Aziraphale's back room in the book shop, to their preoccupation, all those empty bottles. They're just drunk enough for Crowley to have talked the poor probably pudgy angel into trying on his latest invention. While 'Zirpa's sobering all too suddenly, Crowley's so utterly gleeful.

The little touch of skipping the dark slit pupil for an overall darker yellow to make the bright yellow stroke pop, really makes his eyes virtually glitter! His curling smile reminds me of the Grinch's in the cartoon about the time he gets his "awful" idea.

The foreground busyness makes a nice dark frame for the relative open area of the action with just a hint of peeling wallpaper pattern in the background.
