The Finished Victorian Aziraphale : Good Omens Historically Accurate Cosplay
It's so charming! We get a little history, the ups and downs of progress, and a final reveal.
I've seen some lovely fan art of genderbent Aziraphale in different eras, so I think artists who'd like to present a full-on Victorian look would enjoy looking at this particular take.
This sort of project helps highlight how much work the costuming department did--and does--for the Good Omens show.
