I also added this one as a keycharm on my Etsy!

Elizabethan Aziraphale and Crowley in the style of the 16th century miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard. Hilliard didn’t like chiascuro, or any sort of shadow really, which makes getting the resemblance quite hard. The lockets are genuine pieces I pulled from museum websites for mock-up only.
Aziraphale’s inscription: Si tabula daretur digna animum mallem. It translates to “if one could but paint his mind.”
Crowley’s inscription: Alget, qui non ardet. It translates to “he becomes cold who does not burn.”

The Eve Polastri Collection. Full disclosure: if Villanelle doesn’t take Eve shopping in season four, or if Eve doesn’t stumble into a store drunk and haphazardly buy everything because Villanelle refuses to shut up about her clothes, I will riot. Give the woman at least one killer outfit. This has been my Ted Talk.

Aziraphale and Crowley in the style of the Late Renaissance Mannerist Agnolo Bronzino. This is a special order I accepted from a curious antique bookseller on Twitter as a
new year gift to his friend who is apparently a giant snake. *ahem*
I really wanted to capture the unique finish of Bronzino’s oil-tempera blend paintings. I think he, along with his contemporaries like Holbein, started the colouring process with tempera and then painted on top with very thin layers of oil, so the finish is pale and delicate to the point of being porcelain-like. Meanwhile, no real painting is ever digital-level smooth. So I scratched my head for a bit on how to create realistic smooth surface with a reasonable amount of “patina”.
I also made a mock-up based on an interesting 1540-1570s tabernacle mirror frame with double shutters from the MET Collection. The idea is basically one shutter on each side holds one portrait, while the mirror sits protected in between. In this way, both portraits can be displayed at the same time. They’ll be a pair forever :D
P.S. If you’re somehow interested in antique frames, I highly recommend https://theframeblog.com/
P.P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!
