drcalvin:nestofstraightlines:So I’ve been off Tumblr for a couple of years but started lurking again recently and now I’ve done an illustration I think I’d like to share here - somewhere I know there’s, well, a wee bit of Good Omens appreciation going on.I could (and quite honestly pretty much have) write a 3000 word essay of My Opinions about the Good Omens miniseries. Ultimitely there was a lot to love.But I did miss the John Le Carré (Tinker Tailor Seraph Serpent?) vibe from the early Aziraphale/Crowley sections of the book. And thus I felt compelled to create a Good Omens cover in tribute to the wonderful Le Carré covers by Matt Taylor and Penguin (I’ve attached a few of my favourites or reference), which are some of my very favourite covers in print. Not only is the illustration work gorgeous, there’s some lovely ever-so-understated edginess going on in the typography.I’ve included a couple of bits of process work too. There’s nothing I love more than a riff on the Penguin logo, so of course it had to become a nightingale.Oh and PSA don’t feed bread to ducks, it’s really bad for them.Oh wow, this is amazing! -- source link
