Welcome

I wanted to draw Philippe in his INCREDIBLE Royal Carrousel fit because it's so goddamn fab and perfect 🤌🤌🤌 and I added Marie-Louise because I CAN

And a high definition picture of the OG engraving below that I took from the version of the Carrousel I bought 2 weeks ago 🥰🥰🥰🥰

hello there! I haven't really been able to do proper art as for well, having midterms the last two weeks. But instead, I had tried getting familiar with Louis and Monsieur faces! :D

but I promise to do something more proper soon 👀

Starting off pride month with some wholesome melancholic monchevy again because the end of chev's bio BROKE MY HEART with that paragraph which I'm gonna put here:

Unique example of someone being integrated to the royal family through a homosexual relationship, he was brought to the forefront overnight. He was there to stay, protected by his princely status, by his family's clan and by a solid network. One other thing explains his exceptional longevity: Monsieur loved him boundlessly until the very end.

(Le Chevalier de Lorraine by Joan Pieragnoli, p375-376)

and then I died

Amazingly similar pattern between how Daniel de Cosnac, Monsieur's almoner, and Liselotte, interacted with him and talked about it. I'm paraphrasing, of course :P

and no shade to them (okay just a little) but at some point you gotta get a clue yo

FR below the cut!

When:

1. The person is not styled in a way that appeals to modern taste.

2. The style of portraiture diverges from photography, so it doesn't appeal to your sense of aesthetics.

3. You're comparing to an actor/actress who is very good looking by modern standards styled in a way that isn't really meant to challenge you.

4. They are average to good looking, but in a normal person way.

I can't say for sure. He is from a mobile game called Vying for Versailles, produced by Romance Club, who makes different romance visual novels. Romance Club has been accused of using AI and they most definitely have used it at times, but they also have actual art mixed in, especially in their older works.
