I figured that you don't check LJ very often... but I'm glad you got over here eventually because that comment is... WOW.
You're the first person to note that the armor is kinda Celtic and I love you forever for it! I did research looking at Anglo Saxon and Celtic armor because I figured Aziraphale seems to be the Principality of the UK and it would be awesome if I could reference that with the style of his angelic armor.
Thank you so much for the commentary about PS, I've been working pretty diligently at it for a few weeks now and I'm so happy that there's a noticeable improvement. It's probably worth mentioning that I don't do my line work on the computer, I draw everything out by hand and then ink the lines before I scan them. I'm not that comfortable with my tablet yet, though I'm getting there.
Again, thank you for the awesome prompt. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me improve well beyond what I believed I would be capable of. Plus, as I said before, I love Dom!Azira and he just doesn't get enough opportunities to show off his badassery.

Yeah, I'm terrible about logging onto lj. I lurk so much I sometimes stay off for months and forget my password. : P It always makes me humiliatingly late to reply to stuff. Mea culpa.
Ha ha I was right about the Celtic thing! I had a class about Celtic art and I recognized the armor immediately, but I wasn't sure if that was your intention. I'm glad it was because that's super cool.
Wait those lines aren't even from photoshop? Dayum you are magic. I am going to follow your GO art for sure (even though you will probably never notice because of the aforementioned lurking) starting with your awesome thwarting icon.
