Happy Holidays, Interrobam!

Title: Beneath the Shelter
For: [livejournal.com profile] interrobam
From: [livejournal.com profile] lady_aileas
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Aziraphale looking "hella badass" in some heavenly armor, while Crowley displays his fondness for a certain flaming sword.
Note: Happy Holidays Interrobam! I know the original prompt was "lounging at his feet" and I told Crowley that but he stubbornly refused to do as he was asked. Aziraphale was too preoccupied with the other things the demon was doing to get a proper thwart in. I hope this works all the same.









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

Iiiinteresting! *grins* Is that a little serpent and tree on the hilt of Aziraphale's sword?

Good eye! I wasn't sure if anybody would notice!

Can I just say I love Crowley's piercings? 'Cause I do.

Why thank you. I'll admit, I wasn't sure if they were a good idea, but it didn't seem fair for Azi to have all the bling.

Love -- Love -- Love!!!

I love so much about this! The touch of color in Crowley's eye, his impish expression. The beautiful feathers! And the rings on Aziraphale's hand (and Aziraphale's hand itself)! And all the little details on the sword.

Beautiful!

Eeeeeeee.....

Thank you so much! I'm just gonna sit over here and blush now.

This is so HOT. And the details are awesome.

*giggles*

Appropriate Shadwell icon is appropriate.

Thanks. :)

So lovely! I adore Crowley's grin and tiny color detail of his eye! Awesome work! ♥

Thanks! He went through a number of facial expressions before I settled on this one. I told Crowley to put his tongue back in his mouth when I got a bit concerned about the rating level.

Oooh, cut!Aziraphale FTW! ^_________^ Very nice!

[identity profile] secret-kracken.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes...

I like to think that back in the day, Aziraphale was pretty solid. It creates a greater contrast with his modern day poof and his continuing bulk(of a softer, baked goods driven variety) would be an echo of that the same way Crowley's eyes and shoes and general snaky qualities are an echo of what he used to be.

Also, it was fun doing *ahem* research.

Love all the details! So nicely done!

[identity profile] secret-kracken.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It's always nice to hear positive feedback from authors you admire.

[identity profile] seablue-eyes.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
THE EYEBROWS! ;) *ahem* This is really lovely, the little shot of colour in Crowley's eyes is so effective. Wonderful detail on the sword hilt as well!

[identity profile] secret-kracken.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
And I went to all the trouble of using only 1.25 eyebrows in this to try and fool you. Dang it, you know me too well. ;)

I'm glad you like it.

*snug* It's turned out wonderful :)

Yaaaay!!!! *dancing*

My prompter was very specific on the badass part so I was hoping he came out that way. Most of the details got lost in this version because there was no way to include the whole armor design and still get Crowley in there the way he wanted to be. I'll probably post the rest of the design after the exchange is over.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

*blushes* HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Okay, yeah, seriously though. I want to lick Aziraphale's hand. LIKE WHOA. I mean, it's just awesome and...YAY. I am incoherent with glee and happiness. This years' exchange just keeps getting better and better.

"I want to lick Aziraphale's hand"

Yes!I've never really thought about men's hands before this but there really is something very sexy about strong hands. Especially when they are holding weapons...

Thank you! <3

Thank you so much! The feather armor was actually the whole reason I wanted to draw this prompt.

[identity profile] aviss.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Crowley's piercings! I can't stop looking at his piercings! And his expression looking at the sword... what and interesting piece! Fantastic job!

[identity profile] secret-kracken.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very glad those ear piercings worked out! I'm so happy you like it!

...Oh My Manchester

It- I- It's so beautiful- this- I can't even- I think I'm going to need a moment...

Okay, I'm back. First of all, sorry for being late in responding to this. It's finals week, so I haven't been able to check on lj for a while and I never thought my gift would show up so fast. But none of that matters now because oh my Manchester this is the greatest Christmas gift ever. I have to say, I most definitely do not have an issue with the position change, Crowley is even more delicious and subby at waist height. His expression is absolute perfection, it's exactly what I was trying to describe in my prompt and so much more. I love all the details. The carved sword (with snake!), Crowley's eyes, the feather patterns on the armor, Aziraphale's hand, Crowley's piercings, Aziraphale's wings around him hot damn. Everything fills me with such unspeakable fangirlish glee that it's hard to write actual words instead of just frenzied keyboard mashing as my comment. I just. I love everything. I love the title. I love the art style. I love the composition. I love this picture. It's amazing and you should feel amazing. Thank you so so so much.

Also, sorry for rambling, it's almost midnight and it's finals weeks and I'm so excited and my brain is not at 100% right now.

Also also thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouTHANKYOU!

::Blushes::

You're quite welcome.

[identity profile] sirius-luva.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
... I would attempt to reply properly, but this made me lose all coherency. *___*

The feathers. The armour and those abs. Aziraphale's sword. Crowley's eyes and hair and expression. Hnngh.

[identity profile] secret-kracken.livejournal.com 2011-12-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh goodness...

I heard that noise in my head when I read it and snorted coffee all over the table.

Thank you.

I am sorry for ruining your table!

I definitely gasped for real when I first saw this. Out loud. Probably really loud. It's one of the sexiest things I've seen in a long, long time.

I still want to gasp a little bit.
