Artist that’s chaotic good, but mostly just chaotic.

I don't have any questions for you, I just want to thank you. You have always been an inspiration to the Good Omens fandom and I find your comics creative and hilarious.

I think it's thanks to artists like you that the fandom continues to live and will continue to live. Where the finale divided us, your art managed to bring together those who liked and those who did not like the ending.

((I personally hated it and was afraid that all the artists in the fandom loved it, that we would only have fanarts and comics about Asa and Anthony, whom I call the ineffable imposters). Thankfully that didn't happen.

Thank you again for being so talented, this fandom is lucky to have you.

Have a good day.❤️

…do you wanna make me cry?

Because this is how you make me cry.

😭😭❤️😭😭

Thank you for this lovely message and I hope as time passes, everyone will feel better and can enjoy each other’s online company again without anxiety. It’s not a character flaw for liking or disliking a movie’s ending. That’s just art being art.

I find inventing fanon for Asa (felon with a penchant for erasing people who miff him), Anthony (kleptomaniac who is colorblind to red flags) and making Slorch a somehow lovable shark monster has made GO3 a less controversial season for me.

Although that Thanosing was some BULLSHIT! -said like Harry Vanderspeigle

And I am thoroughly enjoying all the fics, memes and art being made from S3! Especially for Slorch Week!

We have fun here❤️

Hi Gleafer, thank you for all the lovely and silly art you bestow upon us! A question for you if you have a chance:

I’ve realized that many of the artists whose styles I really admire (yourself included) are storyboard artists; there’s something extra strong and solid about the characters’ shapes/ poses, and everything reads very clearly.

I’m sure there are a ton of factors at play to pull this off but do you have any thoughts on how this is done? Any secret art sauce that the storyboard folk in particular learn?

Thank you!

It’s because we’re all insane.

NEXT QUESTION!

I kid! It’s from needing to convey emotions through nonverbal body language and facial expressions as quickly a read as possible. So we learn to exaggerate without getting into the “caricature/cartoon” style of art.

It’s a neat skill to have but takes a ton of practice and patience.

There! Now…

NEXT QUESTION!!!

Athens, Ancient Greece, 430 BC.

An unknown pathogen that would be known as The Plague of Athens has been ravaging the ancient Greek city, killing thousands and thousands with no end in sight. Just outside the walls surrounding the devastation, a guilt-wracked angel and a raging, despairing demon seek refuge from a violent downpour and the stench of death in an old, abandoned dwelling.

And under the heaviness of what's happening just outside the hut and the relentlessly pressing weight of their forbidden desire for the other, they crumble.

God I love how normal and real everyone looks in Widow's Bay.

No painfully obvious plastic surgery, no blur filters, no uncanny white veneers.
