One more post before the holidays are over! ☝️
More of my current historical fashion fixation. One from the late 1870’s - early 1880’s, when they temporarily did away with the bustle only to bring it back.#victorianfashion #victorian #fashionplate #historicalfashion #historicalcostume #costumerendering #bustle #mermaidbustle #mermaidsilhouette #walkingdress #parasol #procreate #digitalillustration #illustration #1880sfashion #1880s #1870sfashion #1870s

Fanart herein! I just read Stephanie Burgis’s historical fantasy Masks and Shadows, which is a pretty awesome story set in 1770s Hungary, about how romance blooms between an Italian castrato and an Austrian widow when they meet at the court of Esterhazy. And there’s magic and alchemy and Gothic horror too. Highly recommended!
Anyway, I love the central romance, and after I finished reading the story I couldn’t get the main characters (Carlo Morelli, the castrato, and Charlotte von Steinbeck, the widow) out of my head. So here they are. I really want a sequel!

‘Tis the season for French revolution couples! From left to right:
Jean-Christophe and Xandrine are the main characters in my French Revolution romantic historical WIP, The Captive Heiress. In the middle we have Maximilien Robespierre and his fiancee, Éléonore Duplay (who also show up in my novel). And last but not least, we have Saint-Just and his married childhood friend,Thérèse Gellé, who may have had a covert liaison (La Jacobine lays out the evidence, such as it is, here). There’s no portraits left of of Thérèse, but Lenotre describes her as “fair and freckled” in his “Romances of the French Revolution,” so I ran with that.

Carry On Through The Ages 2022 - Official Announcement!
Carry On Through The Ages is back for its Third Year!
I’ve been going back and forth for the last month, wondering if I wanted to do another year of COTTA. I’ve decided that I love it too much to not go for another year.
I think as long as I’m still writing for this fandom, I won’t be able to abandon my baby.
There won’t be too many changes from last year’s event. The event is still going to be a week-long (September 12-16). The Discord server is still active (though it’s a little quiet at the moment) (hopefully that will change once signups happen). Hopefully the server will be useful for people to exchange ideas and for help when it comes to research. It will also be a place for those who want to beta. I will be sending the Discord link with the confirmation email once the signup period is done.
Like last year, posting dates will be given closer to the actual event, once everyone has a chance to think about their concept. I want to also make sure that every day of the event has (roughly) an equal amount of people posting.
A link to the Sign Up page will be posted on April 8th, and will remain open for two weeks.
You can click on the links below for the full COTTA 2022 schedule!
If you want to learn more about COTTA and what it is, you can click below for a link to the FAQs.
If you have any questions, or concerns, feel free to send a DM or an Ask, and I’ll be happy to respond!
Signal boost. This is a great event.
here’s Franz Liszt, joining the composer gang ✨ a friend told me to draw my interpretations of more historical figures so I think I will !!
