Hello it has been a while!!

In this ocasion, I bring an drawing I had... saved in too long. About my wonderful friend @carlosdorleans and I, being courtiers of Louis XIV in the 17th century!

this very drawing also comes acompanied by us giving a proper bow to our king @theprophecyofroddymcdirrin

𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒔, 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏…

Let me introduce you, to something you didn't ask but is yet very dear to me...

𝐌𝐘 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐗 𝐎𝐂𝐒!

Their Names being Ragusus "Ragu" Densus and Alfius Antonius Adonis, or simply Alfi! A duo of very young decurions, serving as loyal subordinates to Adonis very cool adoptive dad (that I will later post about!)

And if you think this was all, well, just take a look into the laberynth!

As the last day of June, I'm quite happy to finish this art in time!

Both Bastien and Henri always enjoy spending their time, even in the smallest, less luxurious and obnoxious activities. Even if Bastien isn't that big fan of books, he is always eager to listen to Henri's long rants and explanations of the Ancient Rome culture!

Hello!! This is the second person I wanted to introduce you all to!

inhales

Sebastien René Armand Charles Balthazard Alexandre Constantin Gaston Camille Marie Francis Aimée Claude Pierre de Dieu du Vallon de Croquefort, the Marquis de Bruyamont!

Orrrr just Bastien as he often prefers!

He is a childhood best friend of Henri and his brothers, while also carrying the very fact that he is Porthos son! And so he is deeply in touch with the musketeers, being taught to be one since kid, even if he is a Marquis!

I really hope to be doing more with these two!

Hello!!! Theres a lovely person I had been working on, and finally got to draw his reference shet.

His name is Henri, and he is a fictional younger brother to the very Louis XIV and dear Philippe de Órleans. I would enjoy to answer any possible question regarding him!

I will soon also draw his very close friend

First batch of requests!!!

Bonjour!! I had finalized the request that my dear fellows @carlosdorleans, @unanchored-ship and @jblullylover has given me!!

I am a tad little nervous as I didn't properly set how I pretend to do requests! But well, what I wish to do is to, besides also drawing your requested blorbo, is to also pretend to explore different types of doing art.

This time, I tried doing a rather mesier lineart, while also exploring the collage aesthetic I pretty enjoy.

I also thought on sharing the requests all in a same post (batches) and tagging the requester. I hope it isn't something problematic in the future.

I hope it is of your liking!

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 👀

Hello!!!

To be honest, Its hard for me to choose my three favourite historical figures because there are so, so many of them I deeply love (as either distant friends, lovers or whose I wish to be a paternal figure) 😭

Buttt I will try to answer with my current favourites!!! That also change from time of time.

First one, Louis XIV! He is quite recent but boy he really did come to me and refuses to leave!!! I find everything of him so interesting. I both feel sad over the little him and for many things I want to hit his face. But I really enjoy how the entire artistical, cultural and literally everything 17th century sort of was shaped by him!!! Like in his very creation that is Versailles!!!!

Now second, George IV or how i enjoy to call him, Prinny!!! Similar in a way to Louis, I adore him for how he managed to shape an entire era (The Regency that is literally named after him. The. Prince Regent lol) using his very personality and things he liked.

And among all my many other favourites, I would like to choose Manuel Belgrano!! An important figure of my beloved country (Argentina) who created our flag and did so many other things! I am choosing him since he was my very first favourite historical figure ever!!!

Thanks you so much for asking <3

In this time, I bring art from a very special historical figure that has been in my mind and heart lately, 𝒞𝒶𝓇𝓁ℴ𝓈 𝐼𝐼 ℴ𝒻 𝒮𝓅𝒶𝒾𝓃.

I also took the creative liberty of adding him those wing since to me, they looked adorable, and also since to me, he is very closest to actual Christianity, without being a saint or "blessed".
