The perspective! The difference between their ages (I really love that Crowley is young and handsome and Aziraphale isn't that much)! Details (so many details especially the hands)! Shading! Pencil! I really really like you can see the pencil lines (I'm not an artist I don't know how to describe them) But what really makes this picture for me are Crowley's sunglasses since they seem to just be flying in the corner and it amuses me greatly.

*clears throat*

All right, so - you guys pulled this over on me perfectly. It's one of my off-days, not my turn to do the mod posting, and it didn't really even occur to me that you'd post my gift on my birthday, because we're running so short on art-gifts as it is and this one, I daresay, would have been a spectacular note to end on, because...well, because.

Oh Aziraphale, your frumpy shirt/jumper/whatever it is <3 And yet there you are dangling a tape out the window, all the while telling Crowley to watch the road. It's probably the Handel, Water Music, which your darling really does love. Put down the tape, angel. See, I'll fully confess to that particular prompt - that is, the epic battles they now have over whose music they listen to on longer drives - is CoT 'Verse headcanon I just hadn't got around to turning loose, and I wondered whether it would end up being claimed by an artist or a writer. The fact it's been claimed by an artist is just perfect, because I now have a visual to work from if I ever decide to write it (and a brilliant visual at that; you clearly did image research on the interior of a vintage Bentley, because you got it dead on, that is just what one looks like on the inside). Also: BULLET-HOLE WINDSCREEN TRANSFERS.

I'm willing to bet that the poor sod crossing the road is some local who has seen them around, knows exactly who they are, and is like oh dear God it's that eccentric couple in the next cottage up from the Morrisons' aaaaaaaaaaaaieeeeee. If that scene was happening in central London, it'd hardly be a blip on the radar (and probably less potentially fatal). But, you know: miraculous escapes. It'll be all right.

Saying thank you really pales in comparison to the rest of what I have to say, but you'll have the rest of it regardless. Just not here ;) Happy Holidays, you. If the world really was ending tomorrow, this year's Exchange would be...enough.

"Secret artist", pfff. Like we wouldn't recognise Eldanis's style anywhere. >D Lovely drawing, as usual. ^^ I'm love with the texturing of the fabric in particular, and the anatomy and composition... and the dynamics... ah well. >D

What in the world is on that cassette? I'm terribly curious, now. XD Also, this is brilliant. So, so lovely and well done and in character and watch out for that pedestrian indeed! The bullet-holes are a really great touch. *flail* Awesome work! :D

omfg that's fantastic!

bonus points for the stick-on bulletholes, because they are ridiculous and neglected and THE BEST.

Oh, gorgeous and hilarious ad I totally, totally know that Crowley. Secret artist, I know who you aaaaare, mwahaha.
Azieaphale's jumper and Crowley's loose tie and the flying glasses and the Bentley's everything; their hair and their hands and, oh dear, the fake bullet holes *flails*!

This is basically unbelievably amazing. The crosshatching!!! Their faces!!! Beautiful.

omg, this is awesome. The bullet hole decals, man. It's one of those things I wouldn't really think about if they weren't there, but with them, that little detail just MAKES it. And rumpled Aziraphale and Crowley in his suit and his shades knocked off and flying just <3333

Boys, you shouldn't fight about the tapes, they will become Queen anyway... that said, what a lovely art! so many details, their expressions, and the glasses, and the bullet holes, and the shading. Fantastic work!

This is just an all-around amazing piece of work. The details- the interior of the car, their clothes, the cassettes scattered around, the bullet holes (the bullet holes!)- are just mesmerizing. Beyond that, I don't think I've ever seen fan art that comes so close to my personal mental picture of these characters. Everyone is different, I know, but this version of Aziraphale and Crowley resonates with me. Thanks, Secret Artist, I will be bookmarking this.

This is such a beautiful, dynamic picture. I absolutely love the details you added, like the bullet-hole stickers and the way Crowley's lapel is turned by his movement, and the perspective is gorgeously executed. The hair and the folds of the clothing are particularly great, as is the shading. It's just incredible, I mean damn.

Ahahah, that's great. I love their faces and the perspective and everything. Wonderful.

Secret Artist indeed, we all know this lovely style. And this is just perfect. I love the difference in ages and how Aziraphale's a little plump and frumpy while Crowley is sleek (mm, those cheekbones), their expressions, all the little details inside the car (you really researched the interior of a Bentley, didn't you? This picture will now be my go-to reference when describing the Bentley)... Have Crowley's sunglasses been tossed into the air or are they just hooked there?

And oh my goodness, the bullet-hole transfers! I laughed so much at those.

Saving this to look at and smile. Perfect work. ♥

I'm literally just staring open-mouthed at the details and shading is this picture. Beautiful art, and so dynamic as well!
