"And once more, your courage exists only because it is supported by friends of ill character. Once more, they will prove insufficient" From: Marneus Calgar (Issue 5), Kieron Gillen

Bust of a Roman woman, her head covered with her palla. Her hairstyle is that popularized by Julia Domna, wife of the emperor Septimius Severus (r. 193-211 CE). Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

My June of elves continues with this piece I made of my cat-elf librarian Mizane having a day off from work as the head librarian and basically the sole worker of the Sudensurman solan sivukirjasto. He got so excited to have a stroll around the city with his new friend Severan (whose first meeting of Mizane is depicted in that other Mizane piece from a few years ago xD) he put on his best gear to show around town. And of course he gets distracted by books : D I would love to make a real comic about these lovely cat-elves, but when will I have the time… Also there was a Mizane fan visiting our table at Hypecon! If you see this let me thank you again! It just really made my whole year to learn that someone out there remembers Mizane from the previous pieces I have done! Thank you ;;0;;
