On me l’a pas mal demandé : Cardan, mais cette fois-ci seul ! C’était compliqué de ne pas tomber amoureuse en le dessinant, vraiment. J’espère qu’il vous plaît. Je me suis inspirée de la dernière illustration de lui par @frostbite.studios pour l’ambiance générale. ✨🫶🏻
I’ve been asked for this a lot: Cardan, but this time on his own! It was honestly hard not to fall in love while drawing him. I hope you like it. I took inspiration from @frostbite.studios latest illustration of him for the overall mood. 🩷✨

Sybil & Rory, The Knight and the Moth 🦋
I’m currently reading this book and how can I put it? I’m absolutely in love with the atmosphere, so gothic, dark, and yet incredibly gentle at the same time. I adore these two characters so much (no spoilers please, I haven’t finished yet).
What do you think of this illustration? I think it might be one of my favorites (I say that every time, yes).

Je suis en train de lire ce livre et comment dire ? J’aime tellement cette ambiance gothique, sombre, et en même temps si douce. J’aime énormément ces deux personnages (ne me spoilez pas, je n’ai pas encore fini).
Qu’est-ce que vous pensez de cette illustration ? Je crois que c’est l’une de mes préférées (je dis ça à chaque fois, oui).

Petite illustration surprise !! Je n’ai vraiment pas beaucoup de temps en ce moment, mais j’ai réussi à créer cette illustration en reprenant d’anciennes idées pour en faire quelque chose de nouveau !! J’espère que ça vous plaît. On retrouve Jude et Cardan dans le monde réel, j’avoue être un peu amoureuse de ce Cardan en sweat 🤭🤭

A little surprise illustration!! I really don’t have much time at the moment, but I managed to create this piece by reusing some older ideas and turning them into something new!! I hope you like it. Here we have Jude and Cardan in the real world, I have to admit I’m a little in love with this hoodie-wearing Cardan 🤭🤭

Parce qu’avant d’être illustratrice, je suis aussi une amoureuse des livres et de la lecture, et c’est grâce à ces mêmes livres que j’en suis venue à en faire mon métier. Voici donc une petite compilation d’une grande partie des fanarts de livres que j’ai pu réaliser. Lequel est votre préféré ?✨🫶🏻

Because before being an illustrator, I am also a lover of books and reading, and it’s thanks to those very books that I turned it into my profession. So here is a small compilation of many of the book fanarts I’ve created. Which one is your favorite?🩷🫶🏻

Voici ma participation pour le MerMay ! J’ai choisi le thème Ocean Witches du challenge #MerMayUnderwaterFairytales que nous avons créé avec mes amies @femkedeborah_art , @zowey.art , @iana.draws et @nimeryart 🩷🫶🏻.
J’espère qu’elle vous plaît. Ça faisait tellement longtemps que je n’avais pas dessiné sans savoir où j’allais, en prenant plein de libertés et en faisant exactement ce que je voulais ! C’était trop bien.✨✨

Here is my entry for #MerMay! I chose the Ocean Witches theme from the MerMayUnderwaterFairytales challenge we created with my friends @femkedeborah_art , @zowey.art , @iana.draws and @nimeryart 🩷🫶🏻.
I hope you like it. It had been such a long time since I last drew without knowing where I was going, taking lots of creative liberties and doing exactly what I wanted. It felt amazing.✨✨

J’avais très envie de faire un post récapitulatif de mon mois d’avril, avec tous les fanarts et illustrations perso que j’avais faits durant cette période, mais au final il n’y en avait que deux 🥲. J’ai eu beaucoup de travail ce mois-ci et donc peu de temps pour des projets personnels, du coup voici à la place toutes mes illustrations violettes préférées ! Laquelle vous aimez le plus ?🫶🏻✨

I really wanted to make a recap post of my April, with all the fan art and personal illustrations I made during that time, but in the end there were only two 🥲. I had a lot of work this month and very little time for personal projects, so instead here are all my favorite purple illustrations! Which one do you like the most? 🩷🫶🏻
