My Valentine’s art this year is inspired by "Dark and Fair" by Tadeusz Styka (ca. 1908)

Inktober 2025 - Day 30 - Award - “Thìs pläce ìs an award after all these events. What cöuld häppen tø us?”

Yes, today’s art is a cover of Yudori’s ”Raging clouds” (”Le ciel pour conquête” in French)

If you enjoy this story, you can find my heroines in the first two chapters of Esther & Erie, available in French 🇫🇷 (digital & paper ) and English 🇬🇧 (digital only)

Valentine’s Day 2025 🖤🖤🖤

“I saw your dark heart and immediately fall in love!” Sir James to Lady D’Arcy.

Pause inspired by Dracula and Mila in Francis F. Coppola movie. Cemetery based on a photo found on Mastodon… but Apple Photo loses the url 🙈

Esther meets Mel: we’re currently watching the show and I can’t help but to notice that Arcane heroine looks a lot like Esther, so I decided to do a fanart

Because they look so much alike, I thought that they want to play this game the twins can do, exchanging their clothes to trick us

A few days ago, a question on Mastodon about still images inspiration makes me realise that I never did an art inspired by Charles Dana Gibson, one of the main inspirations for Esther and Érié’s aesthetic
