This is just stunning! I love the simplicity of the moment -- it makes the harsh truth of Aziraphale's departure all the more intense.

Thank you! I really aimed for just simple poignancy :)

That was just sad. Very nicely done, but sad.

[(Anonymous)]

The prompt was angst and i simply couldn't come up with anything less O_O
Thanks!!

[migratory.livejournal.com]

So sad.

But it's beautiful too, both art and story. Lovely.

I absolutely adore the way this has been put together. Gorgeous, almost children's-book style. And heartbreaking subject!! But really the composition of this is just incredible, I can't get over it. <3

O_O I'm very glad you think good of the composition, because that is usually my weakness.
I really love children-book styles, i'm honored you think it's similar :) Thank you soo much!! ^___^

I think the worst part--for Crowley, I mean--aside from Aziraphale leaving is how blessedly CALM he seems about the whole thing. That might just hurt even more than the leaving itself.

I really love how you executed this. Nice and simple and in shades of grey. It just all fits together so nicely.

I figured they knew each other too well to make a scene, because y'know, ineffable. I also enjoyed drawing poised and stoic Az. :)

Thank you soo much!!

Oh man. Their little pointy-chinned faces, and Crowley's pointed teeth! This is so spare, and lovely, and sad for Crowley. Very nice.

[(Anonymous)]

It's all about the pointed teeth, yes!! XD

Thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed~

Aw this was very poignant :( I love the simplicity and elegance of each page--very effective use of negative space there.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you soo much! That's soo relieving to hear, since that's the quality i was aiming for :)
*has discovered magic of negative space use* XD

Lovely background in page one.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the last line. A following silence...that must be pretty lonely...but it hints that while it might be long, it might not be for eternity.

Well done!

[(Anonymous)]

That's the beauty of working with immortal beings...there's no time limit :P

thanks!!

Oh dear lordy, this made me wibble. Beautifully drawn and so well written, heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking. Well done.

*hugs your tigger icon* Don't worry, they'll find a way back to each other... eventually

Thank you soo much!

[azicrow.livejournal.com]

Awww, poor Crowley. This was sad, but very lovely none-the-less!

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! :)

[oddsbobs.livejournal.com]

So lovely, and so heartbreaking! I loved it.

:O I put in for one gift, Secret Artist, and I got six? I am absolutely blown away. I love the way you draw them - I want to say especially Aziraphale with his messy hair and expressive faces and the way that somehow he's utterly changed and angelic in that last panel where he's pictured, and yet nothing's different from the previous ones - but THEN I see Crowley's teeth and the "maybe" frame and the sharp lines where he's angry... and I change my mind. I can't decide. The text, the 'that moment' referring back to the first panel - you obviously put a lot of thought into this, and the effect is just heartbreaking. Thank you so, so much. :)

[(Anonymous)]

o_O One gift in six parts? I simply could not figure out of way to convey it all in one picture... I just screamed for a narrative :p
I'm soo very relieved and happy you enjoy it!! Angst is not something i normally associate with this pairing, and it was especially hard to find a way to convey that in image without making it bloody/cheezy/overangsty @_@ I'm also really glad you like my designs. Crowley is usually fairly standard, but no one draw Az the same and sometimes the picture don't fit with our personal image of him. Happens to me a lot... >_<

Really, thank you soo much!!! :) *BIG HUGS*

Oh! This one really proves the adage a picture is worth a thousand words. So simply set up and depicted, so reverberating in it's poignancy.

Sniff, sob!

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you soo much! I wish there were no words at all, but i'm still far from that level... :P

[lady-match.livejournal.com]

Oh you made me tear up slightly. Lovely work, love the manga style you've got going on here.

[(Anonymous)]

*pokes Howl buttcrack* XD

Thank you! ^-^; I wish I could gain a more mature style, but it seems like this one is stuck with me :P

[lady-match.livejournal.com]

Yes! Howl's buttcrack is lurve. lol

Oh it's perfect, no reason to change it. I'm a huge manga fan, and this just works so wonderfully. *nods*

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

That's so beautiful! Poor Crowley and Aziraphale though... *goes off to cry in a corner* This is really impressive little comic.

[(Anonymous)]

*offer chocolate* Awww don't cry, eventually they will see each other again. Eternity is a long time... :P

Thank you!!

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

Awww... -_- Pretty pretty art.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you soo much!

Goodness this exchange has so much talent /wipes glassses/ Verry pretty artwork and fitting narrative, I loved that you made it into a tiny little comic :D

The ending lines were pretty much perfect :D
