Artist's note: Dear conjure_lass, as soon as I saw your prompt, I knew it was the one I wanted to do, and I'm so glad the mods gave in to my begging for it!  I was so enamored with the mental image of Crowley as you described him (even from so few words), seen through Aziraphale's eyes, that I wanted to see if I could capture it on paper.  It's not *quite* as lovely as my imagining of it (such is the frustration of art), but it's close; in my mind's eye it started as what comprises the cropped 'detail', then grew on paper to include the other figures and Aziraphale himself.  I hope you like it!

This is just so, so beautiful. Your skill with a pencil is incredible! I love the play of light and shadow, and the almost ghostly shadow-figures of the other people in the room. It feels as if they've just faded in comparison to Crowley, especially because of the level of detail on him, which makes it feel even more like we're seeing this through Aziraphale's eyes. Love it!

Also, his hands! I really love his hands. And his jawline, mmm. And, well, everything. :)

I also really love Aziraphale's back and his hair and his pose - it really looks as if he's just been stopped short by the sight of Crowley there. Brilliant!

Love this piece, it is just delightful. conjure_lass is very lucky indeed! :D

You've hit on all the things I hoped would come across about this, from the other figures receding, to Crowley's jawline, heheh (I may have A Thing for nice jawlines, um.). Thank you so much! o/////o
