I can't believe I forgot to pimp this! Well, it just keeps the fun going longer, I guess.

The gift I received was from the lovely

eldanis!

Aerial Superiority
Art, Work-safe.

It's Adam and Dog and Aziraphale and Crowley in steampunk flying machines. With beautiful vivid colors and dazzling, dizzying angles. They're having SO MUCH FUN, and so will you if you go look at right now.

Current Music: "One of These Things First" - Nick Drake

Yes, I know he's green in this icon. He has a diverse "wardrobe," what can I say? As promised in this post, here's a collection of DeviantArt links I made when I was thinking about this very thing just a couple weeks ago. Thanks to QW for her suggestions!

( Here be links - please give the artists FB if you like )

I am in no way trying to "prove" anything about the way Crowley "really" looks with these. (He doesn't look the same in all of them by any stretch.) I AM looking to prove that this is not an idea that's unique to just one person. There are a lot of different artists here, from a lot of different time periods in the fandom. (If you know of others, please let me know.) This has been a thing for years, for many people, that's my point. I think. Maybe the point is dolphins.

Is this a conversation we could be having on

lower_tadfield without touching off a wankstorm? I hope we could--the fandomsecrets comment thread is a better meta discussion than anything I've seen on LT for a very long time.

A Fandom Secret about Crowley's complexion

No, I didn't post this secret, nor have I commented on it at the comm, but QW can attest I've been having Lots of Thoughts about this very thing lately, partly because of the latest round of casting talk and because there is definitely a mini-trend of fanart that depicts him as an MSBoC (Man-Shaped Being of Colour) or at least Ambiguously Brown.

And I just find the whole thing so fascinating, because it ties into all sorts of possible discussions about our mental images of book characters and where they come from--book covers and illustrations are of course an obvious source, but by no means the only one.

I actually have a whole rough draft of an essay about this and a collection of links to Crowley-ain't-white fanart I've seen, but ack! I have to go to work. But I'll be back!

Stop with the denials, artist. That is TOTALLY a lightsaber.

From the

sshg_exchange (Snape/Hermione) comes just about the most innovative and labor-intensive present I've ever seen at a gift exchange.

My Good Omens Exchange gift!

Brown!Crowley Fanart Linkspam.

Haha, OK, this is definitely going around in the meme-osphere!

This piece of GO fanart is even more awesome than it meant to be.

OK, WOW.
