That is so. Fucking. Hot. My god.

Lucky, lucky Vulgarweed! :D

this is so wonderful.

Aziraphale's hand is really acting quite naughty. Is that part of the roleplay? If so, how does that work out? Is Aziraphale roleplaying the demon? or just a naughty angel?

(well, now I've confused myself, too!)

Secret Artist, this is spectacular! Their wings look lovely. And their expressions and body language? YUMMY.

In short, I love this piece!

Incredible!!! But if you've been in the GO fandom for any time at all, there is no secret about who this artist is ... the very, very best one ever!!

O_O OMG. Tell me that's not John Constantine's trench coat Azi's wearing!

...On second thought, tell me it is!!! XD

ajfslk;dddddddd;;eaw;oasfd90urw9WEUIOeeee.

*gasp*

And that's me after the cold shower! ;)

That is so incredibly sexy and beautiful. It's like this snapshot of this particular sort of breaking point, with this urgency and immediacy and...it's kind of humorous too, but so intense. And what it leaves to the imagination is as luscious as what it shows. (The angles of their faces: is Crowley going to go for a kiss or a neck-bite? Right at that moment where it's too soon to tell.)

Favorite little things: Crowley grasping Aziraphale's tie; the little serpentine flourish in the flaming sword, and of course Aziraphale caught in that pseudo-defensive grope...it may look like an impasse, but I think he's winning.;) And the white light around Crowley and the red-orange around Aziraphale--very suggestive, that.

It is utterly fabulous in every respect, and I adore it. Thank you thank you thank you.

(I have no strong preference on wing color really: white and black are equally fanon, in my opinion--for both of them--so it's purely an aesthetic choice. When I make the call I go with black because I think if humans had wings, the kind of human Crowley pretends to be would have black ones.)

....As aliciajd said, there's no secret to this secret artist, but that doesn't take away from the beauty and skill of the picture. Love it, very much! and lucky, lucky Vulgarweed!

I have to inform you right now that I know exactly who this artist is and that they are absolutely brilliant and that I am building a shrine in their name.

*falls to ground in worship* I am now religious. All hail... er. All hail.

O_O

*dribbles*

Somebody has to write that fanfic. Ohgod.

[flail.livejournal.com]

:O pretties!

...and i keep scrolling back up to look at it which makes it very hard to comment. xD

i suppose that says it all then, doesn't it? ^-^

*hearts*

Oh, sweet merciful heaven~ Absolutely divine, and devious in all the right places~ Nice grope, beautiful sword, breathtaking expressions...
I would sell a first born for your skill.
Hell, I would sell ten first born!

And I can't imagine a writer deserving such a wonderful xmas gift...

You know what I love most about this picture? Yeah, it's totally sexy, but it's so tender and loving at the same time. It's nearly palpable. Oh, this is amazing!

[gelasmus.livejournal.com]

Mphduhguh.

That is the exact sound I made when I saw this.

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh my...the wings! and the balance of the colours, the shimmering white around Crowley's wings and the rusty colour around Aziraphale's white wings (and the serpent in the sword!) and the hand and the little tilt of Crowley's head and the...the...I am dead with the gorgeousness. Dead, you hear me?

(Dead...in a good way, you know. Fallen over with glee might be more accurate.)

[mangy-mongrel.livejournal.com]

That's so... underhanded. *sorry, lame pun, couldn't resist*

[dulcepericulum.livejournal.com]

FUCK ME ITS PERFECTION!

seriously. i cant believe you captured the face i had for aziraphale in my head.
amaaaazing.

[clayin.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm. So fantastically lovely. Absolutely gorgeous.
I love the contrast in color and how their poses say "battle" but their faces say "Something else"
Lovely.
Now I'm going to go over here and drool a bit more.

[busaikko]

Absolutely beautiful! Really.... You've quite a gift for making the lust fun! I'm hearing dialogue with this:

Crowley: Ha, got your flaming serpent sword, angel.
Aziraphale: Got your serpent.
Crowley: Ah.
Aziraphale: Check. And mate.

[ajodasso.livejournal.com]

In color and style, this reminds me of nothing so much as the "book cover" illustration :) I keep wondering if the card is going to fall out of Crowley's pocket...

(Everybody else has already blown your cover, so I guess I'm extraneous. If you feel the need to get back at somebody, however, feel free to blow mine when the time comes ;)

[sophistry]

...This is so hot that I kind of can't breathe.

Just. More insightful analysis impossible, brain melted. Just a few things that I wanted to comment on that haven't been mentioned yet. The wonderful opposing symmetry of the nearside arms - Crowley's bent up to cup Aziraphale's neck, Aziraphale's bent down to... well. Very appropriate; the demon who's not as bad as he thinks he is, and the angel who's not quite as holy as he should be.

And the way Crowley, at first glance, is the dominant one, leaning over Aziraphale, pinning his wrist, smug, devious little expression. Until you notice Aziraphale's hand, the mild expression on his face, the tiny, tiny, almost-not-there hint that he's trying not to smile, and you realise that the angel is So. In. Charge.

Um.

*rambles, helplessly*

I'm meant to get half a presentation written up today, but I have this open in a Firefox tab, and now I don't think I'll be able to concentrate.

[refche.livejournal.com]

Tried writing a comment before but, my eyes kept drifting to Aziraphale's hand. What's up with that? :shifty glance:

I am intrigued by the white echo behind Crowley. Can't help but connect it with your description. Of course, that leads to more confusion, but still... The coloring looks alive. Love, love, love it! So very beautiful.

Oh, there's also a background. ;)

Okay, words are utterly failing me. I'll just say "copy and paste everything Vulgarweed had to say, because I noticed the same things". And add to that "this is THE perfect pairing of ANY fandom, and you've really brought that home in the best possible way". As for the art itself, gorgeous enough to put on a plate and eat, very very slowly.

[synekdokee.livejournal.com]

Oooh...

She knows how good she is, I have nothing more to say :D

Except that this is hot.

[lovessacrifice.livejournal.com]

I love how Aziraphale looks like he's just giving Crowley's crotch a little pat like "good boy" and then Crowley's eyes say "damn it, angel, you've got to ravish me better than that!"

[ida-pea.livejournal.com]

Good lord, that's hot. I know that it was created according to certain specifications, but the symbolism you put in this is just incredible, very telling of the conflict that Aziraphale and Crowley need to maintain in their relationship in some way at all times(IMO)...in this picture it's as though neither is quite prepared to let the other get away with anything--just yet ;)
