My interpretation of Anthony J. Crowley ("an angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards") from Good Omens, a hilarious book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. My design for him has changed very slightly since I drew this, but hopefully I'll have a newer version finished soon.

I really love the way you drew his hair. :) In my opinion his legs are too long, but that's most likely due to the fact that you've drawn a lot of anime in your time, and the fact that I don't like anime. So go nuts.

He needs some pizzazz. Something about him kinda screams to me 'Typical Fallen Angel' - I haven't read the book so I can't say how they describe him. Maybe it's the sunglasses - or the mischievous curl in his lip. Wicked sharp suit though. You do draw well.

I haven't drawn much anime-style art recently, but anime influences keep sneaking back in. ^^;

Unfortunately, the book didn't give many of the characters a very detailed description. I think Crowly is described as wearing a black suit, snakeskin shoes, sunglasses, and having yellow eyes. That's more description than the angel character got. That's the only flaw in an otherwise great book, and it does leave the characters open to interpretation...

That's a good point, and a bit of kudos to the writer's for doing it that way. Truthfully, writing character descriptions does become hugely dull after the first forty or so. :giggle:

The plot and writing of the book really make up for any lack of description, and the characters themselves don't suffer for it either. It's interesting to see all the different interpretations.
Neil Gaiman's character descriptions are wonderful, when he writes them. In "Neverwhere," he lists all the ways to tell the difference between the two villains, Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar, then ends it with, "Also, they look nothing at all alike." :D

It's Crowley... wow... I didn't know there actually were Fan Art out for that book.
You make me happy. Thank you! :D
