@spikievstheuniverse and I collaborated on a 2 page comic for the charity zine @goromcomzine!
It's a crossover between the show Good Omens and the movie D.E.B.S. (one of our favorite movies!)
My first pen drawing! Mr. Anthony J. Crowley in shades of dark grey đ©¶đ
Miranda from The Tempest and A Companion to Owls.
I remember some time ago a fan pointed out that this scene was incredibly reminiscent of âMirandaâ by John William Waterhouse and added Aziraphale on the rock contrasted with the first painting (1875) However, another version of the same painting exists; featuring a red-hair Miranda, which was painted after in 1916.
The Miranda here is a character from William Shakespeare's The Tempest. She was detained on an island, together with her father, Prospero, for almost twelve years. This happened as a result of having been exiled from Milan by Prospero's power-seeking brother, Antonio.
The scene plays very blatantly with the word âexileâ and Aziraphale fearing being cast into Hell (exiled from Heaven) and Crowleyâs clear banishment from his position as an angel.
The picture has been painted in cold (red hair) and warm tones (blond), playing very much into the tones we get to see in A Companion to Owls. Aziraphaleâs side on the rock, with the more conventional, peaceful look and Crowleyâs with the rocks on the background.
A ship slices through the waves, causing a feeling of imminent loss; notice how that is exactly Aziraphaleâs placement on the frame.
Unlike the paintings though, in Good Omens we get a view of both sides, of before and after the storm. The color palettes combine as both Aziraphale and Crowley are fitted into the frame.
Concluding with the wonderful shot directly mirroring their color palettes (sunnier on Aziraphaleâs side; shadows on Crowleyâs) again and reversing the order of the Miranda paintings (not chronologically, as we see red-hair Miranda appear later on, but in terms of placement and coloring).
Lost Hat (A short comic)Â
This was the scene that inspired me to draw the comic. The idea has been in my head since June, after the release of the Good Omens episodes. It went lying in my folders for a while, but Iâm glad to finally have it finished! Thank you for reading :)
