It's been months since my last portrait, and I did yet another portrait of Michael Sheen!! I expected it would take longer to finish this portrait, but it only took me 4 days this time. 🎉

Thank you lululovesmsdt on Twitter for letting me use your photo as a reference ---- I really love how soft his expression is here. Also, those glorious white hairs look so lovely on him...
EXCUSE ME
I scrolled past it the first time because I thought it was a photo and I was distracted by the boops 🥲
THIS IS AMAZING AAAAAAA
Look at him, he's gorgeous! This is amazing!

David Tennant and Michael Sheen - photographed for High Life Magazine (promotion for Good Omens)
Excerpt from David Tennant Does a Podcast With Michael Sheen:
David: We have just come from a publicity photoshoot for Good Omens, which is a show we’re doing, during which we had to sort of dress up in clothes and have our photograph taken, kind of as ourselves.
Michael: Yeah
David: I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that both of us find that… not our favorite part of the job of acting.
Michael: No. We haven’t talked about this until now, so this is quite fun. [David laughs] Can I ask you, am I the grumpiest person you’ve ever seen at a photoshoot, or have you seen grumpier people?
David: Oh no, I’ve seen grumpier
Michael: You have?
David: Yeah. I don’t think you’re that grumpy. I think you’re an honest version of how I’m feeling
Michael: I wanted to kill everyone. Including myself
David: [Laughing] That’s exactly what’s going on in my head, but because I could see how annoyed you were at times, it made me become sort of a performing monkey, going “No, everything’s great! Everything’s fine!”
Michael: I’m so sorry
David: No! Because you’re right! It was excruciating
Michael: I was aware at certain moments that I was totally leaving you to pick up the pieces. [David laughs] I was just refusing to answer certain things. I was like a child, just not answering. And you were very nicely, because you’re a lovely person, saying something just so that there wasn’t utter silence.
David: Usually I’m you in that situation
Michael: [Laughing] Are you really?
David: Exactly. That’s what I mean. I think we’re very similar about it. I’m asking you, as a means of therapy for myself, why is that bit of the job so excruciating?
Michael: Because it sort of strips away a lot of the stuff that allows us to feel better about ourselves.
David: Right
Michael: So it strips away all the pretense of artistry. It’s just, “MONKEY F**KING PERFORM, MONKEY!!!”
Ok but why do they look like a couple doing a pre-wedding photoshoot
WHY HAVENT I SEEN THESE BEFORE???
WHAT ARE WE DOING FAM????
What do you mean you haven't seen these before?! They're a fandom classic! Good Omens S1 stuff 101 or something like that! 😂

What if A.Z. fell?
I was inspired by the pictures in the recent Michael Sheen article published by The Guardian, so I drew him for the second time in my life.
And then as I was writing this post I realized that a fallen Aziraphale kinda fits the theme of "closed door" i.e. week 4 of the Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon by @ineffablyruined, so that's pretty convenient!
My favorite detail on this page is the horizontal pupils. Oh, and 666 thumbs up to whoever came up with the idea of demon!Aziraphale's form being a ram. Absolutely iconic behavior 🐏✨
I'm in love with the teal/blue color combination. If anyone would have told me that Demon!Aziraphale's with ram horns could look good, I wouldn't have believed it. So kudos for actually pulling that off!

[Georgia Story on IG - 9.1.2024 🏴]
These two (four) crack me up so much 😆
David's probably just proud of how well he passed on his inability to sit in chairs properly.
I just love them all, your honor! 😂

So I feel like at this point, those of us who are apart of the good omens fandom need to take a stand against the rpf blogs. Cause it's not just that anymore - it's misogynistic at best and downright accusing people of heinous crimes like abuse and rape at worse.
It shouldn't be lone blogs like goodomenswarning and dtmsrpfcringe being vocal about it, when the last time a blog spoke up about it they got fucking death threats and doxxed.
Off the top of my head, letscoffeebr3ak, nightgoodomens, ingravinoveritas are the ones off the top of my head, but literally look at any of the blogs I mentioned above to ask for more, cause they're a good chunk.
Block them, call them out on their bullshit, and spread the word. I'm being kind rn to not say "you should reblog this", but if the fandom is going to be considered a kind compassionate place, then kick the fucking rot out
Already blocked the ones named as well as a good chunk more several months ago. I spent ages arguing with loads of them in NGO's comments section and was ridiculed and mocked, got death threats too, and ended up blocking them all. The way they talk about the Sheens and Tennants is disgusting, and it only takes someone imagining what it would be like if someone did that to you and your own relationship to recognise that its actually only a shade above harassment, abuse and stalking.
I do not condone any of their views, opinions or behaviour and have said so plenty, and often. We all love David and Michael and think they're adorable together, but this brand of sick, vile, hate-filled vitriol, especially towards their partners and families, is unforgivable.
Keep yourselves safe lovelies, use that block button, and don't indulge abusive behaviours online for any reason. We wouldn't put up with it if it was targeted at any one of us, and just because David and Michael are public figures doesn't give people in the fandom a pass to bully and target their families and analyse their every move. Its so freaking creepy.
Ship whatever the fuck you want in your head, but this behaviour is completely inappropriate and I will continue to call it out when I see it... I don't see it often in the wild though, cos I've blocked them - or I hope I have (If you're one of them, do me a favour, darling, and hit that block button for me) And I hope everyone who follows my blog is able to stand up against bullying, misogyny and abuse regardless of how big a fandom name it comes from.

I find it extremely concerning that out of the thousands of followers I have, everyone's being real quiet about liking or reblogging this.
Didn't think "don't harass and bully people online" was such a hot take, honestly.
Tbh, I have absolutely no idea what exactly is going on, because I don't spend that much time on here and whenever I do, I just stick to the lovely people on my dashboard.
Honestly, having had crazy run-ins with real people shippers in other fandoms in the past, I am extremely wary of people who simply don't know any boundaries or common sense when it comes to celebrities.
I am certainly not going to go hunting down any blogs for drama, but I do immediately block any users talking shit about Georgia or Anna, just because someone has a crazy obsession with shipping Michael and David.
I absolutely subscribe to "don't harass and bully people online" and I do block anyone I see doing this. Also, let me add any kind of stalking to this list of absolute no-gos.

Lovely new article about Michael in Paste magazine. Article is behind a paywall, so here is a transcription (with thanks to the person on FB who transcribed it, and the parts in bold are my own emphasis).
There’s so much to love about Prime Video’s Good Omens. A delightful adaptation of the popular Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel of the same name, the series is romantic, thoughtful, hilarious, and heartfelt by turns. The story of the almost-apocalypse and what comes afterward, it wrestles with big concepts like destiny, free will, and forgiveness, all framed through the lens of an unorthodox relationship between an angel and a demon whose love for one another is a key to saving the world.
As anyone who has watched Good Omens already knows, nothing about this series works without the pair of lead performances at its center. Stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen—who play the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale, respectively—have the kind of lighting-in-a-bottle chemistry that’s the stuff of legend, and their characters’ every interaction conveys both their deep affection for one another and the Earth they’ve made their home. Their romance is the emotional linchpin around which most of the series turns, and their heartbreaking separation in the Season 2 finale is so devastating precisely because we’ve seen how necessary the two are to each other’s lives.
But it’s Sheen’s performance in that final scene that really twists the knife. As Aziraphale’s face crumples following his and Crowley’s long-awaited kiss, the actor manages to convey what feels like every possible human emotion in the span of less than thirty seconds as the angel realizes what he has both had and just lost. The moment is emotionally brutal to watch, particularly after sitting through five and a half episodes of Aziraphale looking as lovestruck as the lead in any rom-com. Sheen makes it all look effortless, shifting from giddy joy to devastated longing and everything in between, and we really don’t talk enough about how powerful and underrated his work in this series truly is.
Though he’s half of the central duo that makes Good Omens tick, Sheen’s role often tends to get overshadowed by his co-star’s. It’s not difficult to see why, given that Tennant gets to spend most of the show swanning around in tight trousers looking like the Platonic ideal of the charming bad boy, complete with flaming red hair and dramatic eyewear. Tennant also benefits from Crowley’s much more sympathetic emotional arc. I mean, it’s hard not to love a cynical demon with a heart of gold who’s been pining after his angelic best friend for literal millennia even after being cast out from Heaven. Of course, viewers are drawn to that—likely a lot more easily than the story of an angel who’s simply trying the best he can to do the right thing as he wrestles with his role in God’s Ineffable Plan. Plus, let’s be real, Tennant’s sizeable Doctor Who fanbase certainly doesn’t hurt his character’s popularity.
As a performer, Sheen has a long history of playing both real people (Tony Blair, David Frost, Brian Clough) and offbeat villains (Prodigal Son’s Martin Whitly, Underworld’s Lucian, the Twilight Saga’s Aro). In some ways, the role of a fussy, bookish angel is playing more than a bit against type for him—Gaiman himself has said he originally intended for Sheen to be Crowley—but in his capable hands, Aziraphale becomes something much more than a simple avatar for the forces of Good (or even of God, for that matter). With a soft demeanor and a positively blinding smile, Sheen’s take on the character consistently radiates warmth and goodness, even as it contains surprisingly hidden depths. The former guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden who gifted a fleeing Adam and Eve his flaming sword and befriended the Serpent who caused their Fall, Azirphale isn’t a particularly conventional angel. He enjoys all-too-human indulgences like food and wine, runs a Hoarders-esque bookshop that never seems to sell anything, and spends most of his time making heart eyes at the being that’s meant to be his hereditary adversary.
Given the much more difficult task of playing the literal angel to Tennant’s charming devil, Sheen must find a way to make ideas like goodness and forgiveness as interesting and fun to watch as their darker counterparts. It’s a generally thankless task, but one that Sheen tackles with gusto, particularly in the series’ second season, as Good Omens explores Aziraphale’s slowly evolving idea of what he can and cannot accept in terms of being a soldier of Heaven. His growing understanding that the truth of creation is colored in shades of grey and compromise is often conveyed through little more than Sheen’s deftly shifting expressions and body language.
Our pop culture consistently struggles to portray the idea of goodness as something compelling or worth watching. Explicitly “good” characters, particularly those who are religiously coded, are frequently treated as the butt of some sort of unspoken joke they aren’t in on, used to underline the idea that faith is a form of naivety or that kindness is somehow a weakness. For a lot of people, the entire concept of turning the other cheek is a sucker’s bet, and believing in something greater than oneself, be it a higher power or a sense of purpose, is a waste of time. But Good Omens is a story grounded in the idea that faith, hope, and love—for one another, God, and the entire world—are active verbs. And nowhere is that more apparent than in Sheen’s characterization of the soft angel whose old-fashioned waistcoats mask a spine of steel and who refuses to give up—on Crowley, on humanity, or on the idea that Heaven is still something that can be saved.
Though he and Tennant have pretty much become a matched set at this point (both on and off-screen), Sheen’s performance has rarely gotten the critical accolades it deserves. (Tennant alone was nominated for a BAFTA for Season 2, and Sheen was categorized as a supporting actor when the series’ competed in the 2019 Saturn Awards.) But it is his quiet strength that holds up so much of the rest of the show around him, and Sheen deserves to be more frequently recognized for it. That he makes it look so easy is just another sign of how good his performance really is.
I love this so much. The thoroughly well-deserved praise for Michael's incredible performance as Aziraphale, but also that Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship is specifically described as a "romance." And of course, the first sentence of the last paragraph that acknowledges how much Michael and David are indeed a "matched set" that cannot (and should not) be separated...
What a lovely take on Michael Sheen's incredible performance, indeed!
Small sketch this time 🙂
Oh, beautiful!
