Description
A mutilated version of Crowley from "Good Omens," and awesome book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Unfortunately I can't do Crowley any justice at all. I tried Crowley, I really tried to do you justice. ;_;As for the wings... it's actually the Bentley symbol behind him. Or an attempt at it. The plant? Oleander. A very poisonous plant/tree/bush, that happens to need a very warm climate to grow in.
"I see the world with my eyes open
I see the world through lidless eyes
I see a world that is sick with self-loathing
Nothing in the nothing to mystify
Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil's softly singing through the thick of the fight
I see the world in sinking depression
I see the world in a stinking digression
No chance for heaven we're already in hell
And the devil's taking over at the ring of his bell
Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil's softly singing through the thick of the fight
I see the world with my eyes open
I see the world through lidless eyes
I see a world that is sick with self-loathing
Nothing in the nothing to mystify
Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil's softly singing through the thick of the fight
I see the world in sinking depression
I see the world in a stinking digression
No chance for heaven we're already in hell
And the devil's taking over at the ring of his bell
Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil's softly singing through the thick of the fight
I see the world...
I see the world...
I see the world.

dude, he almost looks real if it weren't for the eyes o.o
and...he looks a little nazi-ish XD
but awesome job, just needs to be a little cleaner.
Are you drawing under pressure again? XD

Gahhhh... the eyes... do you see a way to fix them? I've been trying.
But he's not! He's just a fruit peddler.
End of semester? I guess that counts as stress... I had a lot of fun drawing it though.

If they were slighter darker. Or rather, the line quality is thin, where as the rest of the drawing has thicker lines. It's imbalanced because of it.
lolz Fruit Peddler.
that's good, I'm glad you're having fun while drawing ^^
but yeah, stress can screw up lots of things, no doubt D:

Thanks! I think the eyes are kind of... off. I haven't been able to fix it very well though.

Ah...! Brilliant idea with Bentley-wings! It's appears so obvious, but somehow, no one thought of it until now. Good ideas often are obvious... after the fact, aren't they?
And quite nicely drawn, too. Good work.

The brilliant idea really goes to Neil and Terry for giving Crowley a Bentley to begin with. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think so. But no one drawn it, yet. Not in that way. I haven't saw it, at least.

XD That's true...

That looks wonderful! But something about it says Nazi to me... lol

Strange.
Even though Crowley is an angel that not so much fell, but slowly sauntered downwards. He's also a part time forbidden fruit peddler.

is the fruit fresh and juicy!?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No... it's forbidden fruit as in... from the garden of eden.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes...but is it juicy?
sry..i can't help it. mmmm..forbidden fruit!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. XD
I don't buy from forbidden fruit peddlers.

I like him.. actually a bit surprised you didn't splash some color on the flower at all.. but it's all good
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
ah-- and Oleanders are white anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well they have some color at their centers don't they
Yellow or so I believe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They might... but in the pictures I saw there wasn't any colour, just an off-white cream colour. I don't think it would do much for the piece.

I had pink oleander, in my own home. It looked like that: [link] (it isn't my photo). And ones with simple petals, like on the drawing, can be pink, too: [link]
But white is better for Crowley. And anyway, that flower is too terrified for color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... I thought white would be better. It's not Aziraphale after all... XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
yeah maybe not LOL

No... no colour until school's over...
I really didn't think I'd finish this before then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh.. well I look forward to your new work. color or not
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of the stuff I've done recently doesn't have any colour... though I'll do some eventually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know.. somehow he felt like he should have color? I dunno.. but I like him anyway
