Stuff and Nonsense

H. hello. I still have a backlog of art to post from me learning how to draw a bunch of new characters and practicing how to Paint Good lol

Anyway a fun fact about me is I will read the fucking shit out of a queer historical romance novel so a couple months ago I decided to practice my drafting and digital painting skills by doing some fanart of Daniel da Silva from KJ Charles's Think of England. I need u to understand that all of this author's books are certified bangers that make me feel like I'm high on drugs and you should definitely read them. This one is an Edwardian pulp thriller. It's gay spy romance. I think about it every goddamn day brother

Parts of it are very cringe but parts of it - well, still cringe, but worth sharing I think

Expectativa

Realidad

I have recently become utterly smitten with the Society of Gentlemen book series by KJ Charles. The book covers are so disappointing and bland and do not do these characters justice AT ALL so I needed to draw the boys myself.

If you like Regency-era stories about gentlemen who like other gentlemen then you should check this series out; it’s got some lovely romance and friendships and supporting-each-other-through-hardship and era politics and scandal and drama and pining.  Not to mention bi and demi and trans characters, and none of the conflicts revolve around anyone being ashamed of their sexuality. Oh, and they all have HAPPY ENDINGS! Also people actually communicate and it avoids so many stupid misunderstandings that are so common in love stories. 

These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer

‘…This Age I grant (and grant with pride),  Is varied, rich, eventful: But if you touch its weaker side,  Deplorably resentful:

Belaud it, and it takes your praise  With air of calm conviction: Condemn it, and at once you raise  A storm of contradiction.

Whereas with these old shades of mine,  Their ways and dress delight me; And should I trip by word or line, They cannot well indict me….’

Don’t be fooled by the amount of Léonie/Avon going on here, my true OTP is Justin/that blasted fan
