When I was talking to my fiancé about this years animal he said he was born in year of the Ox. When I told him I was born in the year of the dragon he said “hrm, you seem more like a rabbit to me.” He’s not wrong… but still, how dare you sir! There are lots of types of dragons! Here’s a little piece of us both as our signs, a strong and stubborn ox, and a small but fiercely silly dragon ;) Happy new year!

I finished wakfu recently, and it was lovely. So much about it blew me away, especially the art. I just wish we had gotten to see the brothers grow up together, so I filled the void with this.
