I'm currently on a break from my job as an art director. I was discouraged for a while after a very intense burnout period. I'm improve myself to use the extra time to reconnect with the things I love, the drawing as an end in itself, and artistic graphics!

My love for romantic stories and renaissance and Victorian things brought me to Bridgerton!

I love the series and its absolutely cloying stories! The aesthetics are wonderfu! Recovering this passion of mine, I created these dedicated art pieces and resurrected my shop on RedBubble.

Are there any other Bridgerton fans?? ✨

Looked through your blog but didn't see anything, how do you feel about people writing fanfic for your art? With credit ofc :)

I would be very honored to read fan fiction inspired by my art.

As long as my art has credits and I am informed about it, I see nothing wrong with it.

I think it's beautiful how inspiration travels between artists and writers, and vice versa! Creativity is truly a wonderful thing.

This pantone might surpass my love for Peacock Blue!

My tribute to an incredible fan fiction that continues to make me feel so many emotions! On going, but worth every single moment of waiting!

Astarion is a former olympic figure ice skater. Gale a famous divorced musician. They are paired up as a same-sex couple in the new season of Dancing on Ice... Very intense feelings will follow! ⛸️

You should really read this masterpiece!

If you have already read it I hope you like this art.

If you are Linnetagain... I love you! And thank you for all!

Work in progress of a new fan art of our beautiful boys!

Since Christmas I have been accompanied through a very hard period. I reading incredible fan fiction that kept me standing. I am very grateful!

I'm working on this tribute to my favorite! Anyone guess??

Final Art

Golden, golden, golden

As I open my eyes

Hold it, focus, hoping

Take me back to the light

I know you were way too bright for me

I'm hopeless, broken

So you wait for me in the sky

Browns my skin just right

I'm already on my third rewatch of Hazbin Hotel! This is really really so awesome!

These are some sketches made during the last viewing with friends. Angel Dust and Hask are my favourites, but Sir Pentious has also earned a corner of my heart by being so precious 💙

Shadowheart in an eighteenth-century AU!

A modern cursed werewolf that changes color in the moonlight? 🌚 A tragic creature torn between two worlds!

I'm having fun with these little illustrations!

Astarion & Gale in an eighteenth-century AU!

That ponytail and mustache will haunt my dreams for a long time! 🌊

This idea came out as a suggestion, but what story could they hide? 🔥 Make me dream! ✨

More sketches from a little BG3 avatar project I'm drawing in my spare time!

The goal of this exercise for me is to draw without any preparation in the simplest style possible. Every line is "first time"!

There are still a few familiar faces missing but in the meantime the result of these makes me smile! What do you think?

----

I think I exaggerated with Astarion's dark circles 😆
