...

As some of you know, I'm from Valencia in Spain, and sadly our traditions, tales & festivities have never been popularised outside our borders.

And sadly, our language & traditions are getting lost as time goes by.

So I've decided, to spread our culture to the world!!! And since the 1st of March until the end of the month, I will do illustrations of any characters wearing our traditional clothing, partaking in our most traditional festivities, as well as illustrating our myths and legends that have passed on generations.

(Did you know that our emblem( besides a dragon) is a bat? You can find bats represented everywhere in the city!The myth behind it is one of my favs tbh(btw Dc tried to sue)

If you got any suggestions for characters you'd like to be featured, send me a message! On February 29th the slots will close, so don't be shy, sent ahead!
