YOUNG ROYALS | 3.03

Crowley, looking flirty. 😏

By me (@blinkilite) 2024

This year has been a whirlwind. I’ve been so inspired by the GO fandom and it’s gotten me back to drawing again. (thanks ❤️). I participated in a few fan projects this year, but this is my first GO original.

All of the fan projects so far had me drawing Michael/Aziraphale, so I wanted to draw a Crowley. I love how he's changed his looks through the ages, and I wasn't sure which to do first. I also love how he likes to fuck with gender rules.

I was originally thinking of a Tokyo nightlife/streetwear kind of vibe. But a few months ago I started reading an amazing fic (Lay Thee Sinner by @thenerdalert) and hoooo boy I absolutely fell in love with their nonbinary Crowley. Then a few weeks in, a gorgeous artwork by @gleafer was added 🥵 and let me just say it was a big influence on how I finished this drawing. I’m not 100% saying he’s that Crowley, but he definitely could be.

I am also still a noob on Procreate. I have years of experience with photoshop and illustrator, and this seems to be a simplified combination of both. But I am still learning (winging it and hoping for the best). But I definitely like having it digital from the start. I can try something out and if i hate it, just delete the layer and not ruin the whole thing. it's wonderful. I used a lot of references for this, so I hope it looks put together. 😊

I hope you like it. I’ve been working on versions of this since the summer. But it didn’t fully come together until I found my inspiration 😊

This fandom is wonderful and creative and helped me so much this year. Thank you!

Happy new year! ❤️🥂

I just know that when Romeo and Juliet premiered two ye olde girlies in the pit at intermission were like didst thou see the sparks betwixt Tybalt and mercutio… aye and not from their swords alone!

so many things try to emulate the Beatrice/Benedick relationship and so few of them get it right bc they’re like ‘oh it’s about the banter’ and YES, obviously, but if you make it JUST about the banter you’re going to fail! it’s about the RESPECT!!! it’s about the scene after Hero’s shaming where Benedick drops the banter entirely and sits there with Beatrice as she rages and weeps and then chooses to side with HER instead of the boy’s club that he’s been hanging out with for the entire play, both because he loves her and because she’s RIGHT!

like, it’s not some impulsive thing to make her like him, and it’s not just talk; he asks her if she’s sure and then he agrees and then he remains cold and determined when he meets Claudio and Don Pedro and they try to get him to joke around with them like old times.  i think that’s one of the things that gets me the most; that there’s a scene that you half-expect to fall into that same sort of joking, where Claudio and Don Pedro are specifically like, “Huh, we inexplicably feel kind of sad after ruining this woman’s life and reputation, I bet Benedick will cheer us up!” and he just. utterly refuses to engage. and it’s so powerful and it’s such a tonal shift and such a strong indication of just how much he loves and values Beatrice and!! anything that gets the banter but doesn’t get that completely fails to understand their relationship! THB!!

this is making me dizzy

Literally cannot emphasize enough that my #1 writing advice is to stop being afraid. Stop being afraid of sounding too cringe, or too stupid, or too horrifying, or too horny, or too weird, or too much, or too little, or too you. You need to put your entire pussy into your art. Sure, it won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you keep yourself to the blandest tamest safest roads possible you will be of no one's tastes, not even yours.

‚You’re getting sappy again, angel.‘

‚Hmmm, I don’t see why that’s a problem‘ said angel murmured and his grip around the demon’s waist tightened.

Crowley rolled his eyes, but he couldn’t fight the fond smile that creeped up his lips. His left hand found its way into the angel’s curls and he placed a gentle kiss on Aziraphale’s hairline, lingered into the soft touch. The angel hummed and caressed the demons back.

‚Who‘s the sappy one now?‘ he teased.

‚Oh, shut up‘ Crowley complained, lips still on the angel‘s forehead. He felt Aziraphale laugh.

‚I’m sorry, my love. Of course that‘s all part of your malicious, evil plan‘

‚M‘yea. Very malicious plan‘ the demon grumbled as he put his arms around the angels neck ‚Very, very evil.‘

Shakespearean influences?

[beccibarnes]

By this I mean, what is the most influential on your decision? E.g., for me it is the summary because I rarely pay attention to the title or stats, and only read the tags after I've liked the summary enough to want to give the fic a go.
