I’m so excited to start working on new commissions! And I know there’s a bunch of people who didn’t get a slot last January
Please have a look at the prices and at the beautiful illustrations I had the chance to paint ❤️ & remember there’s always the possibility of adjusting a budget for options other than those specified here: backgrounds, scenes from books…
Please contact me by PM if you are interested in getting a slot. There are only 3 available this month.
Can you imagine how happy Julian would be playing Hamlet? It would be a star role! Such a mess of a man deserves a lot of recognition and love
Hope you like it! This week’s theme was suggested by someone in IG, and I’ve seen some good options here too! Please write more ideas on your reblogs! I have 10 more drawings to do
Lately I am struggling to find new ideas for this challenge of mine, and I still have 11 to go!
Someone on IG very kindly suggested me to draw him in steampunk clothes, and I thought the idea was cool, so here it is! The truth is that any style of clothing fits Julian well, but that transgressive futuristic look is too asasldfhaslksjdlñfkja for my mental health.
I hope you like it!
Ah! Any suggestions for future drawings are very welcome! So please, write them when you reblog this art, because that way they’ll reach me via notifications
Sorry it took me so long to come back. My last two months schedule was way too full, and I couldn’t draw anything. But I’m more relaxed now and my tasks are well planned so I think I’ll be able to update this blog more often.
This version of Julian is maybe from a AU where he’s a rowdy police agent… Who volunteers to be arrested??
Have a nice week, and thanks for your love and patience!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for not posting sooner! I had a lot of work this week and couldn’t find enough time for Julian’s pencil drawing. This isn’t finished though, but I though about posting a little WIP here for you to have a look
I haven’t drawn an armor with graphite pencils before, so is kind of a challenge for me, but I’m taking my time because I want this to be a master piece.
And yes, Julian as a warrior on shining armor is freaking cool! (not like I’ve expected something different tho).
I hope to finish it on next week
Hope you like it and have a lovely Friday!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
P.D.: For those who had asked this: I always use hard pencils (H5,H2) for sketching and drawing the first structure. For shadows and darker parts I use soft pencils (HB2, B1, B4), and for lighting: a little eraser
I’m always been weak about drawing men in suits… And such a gorgeous specimen must be forbidden Imagine he’s willing to be your Valentine and to fulfill all your wishes… ALL OF THEM… … Now I don’t know if what I’ve done is good or really bad for my heart…
Today I was woken up by a little voice screaming “Happy Valentine’s Day mommy”, and with a jar of sweets waiting on the table, next to my coffee. I am so happy!

HelloWinter’s Orbit fans! If you loved this book as much as I did and are looking for more books with a similar vibe… check out THE TAROT SEQUENCE by K.D. Edwards! Sci-fi and fantasy are two genres that go hand-in-hand and when you add the bonus layer of them being queer literature… it’s becoming less rare but still. Finding ones to love as much as I love this book and this series?
Often I struggle with modern fantasy and science fiction because there’s a lack of world building in them. Maxwell and Edwards both found the perfect balance between creating a complex plot and bringing to life three dimensional characters. There’s romance, yes, but it’s developed in a natural way that doesn’t neglect the needed development of a fully fleshed-out system. For Winter’s Orbit, that’s a realized and complex system of planets and politics; for TTS, it’s a unique magical system and complex political positioning. Both authors understand the importance of the mix of these things to create what I view as hopefully timeless pieces of literature.
So! If you loved Kiem and Jainan… I think you’ll fall in love with Rune, Brand, Addam, and the crew. And, The Hourglass Throne, the third installment in the series is out in just TEN DAYS (May 17, 2022). Click this link for ordering information.

“Sweet surrender is all that I have to give” - Sarah McLachlan
When the Hanged Man comes up in a reading, you are in a situation where some sacrifices need to be made in order to gain clarity on what direction you are headed. You’ve realized that you need to withdraw from always being on the go so that you can retreat and reflect. This is the time to gain some new perspective and see things from a new point of view, since the old way of doing things was not working for you. I’ve heard it said that this card can be summed up in the first line of the Serenity Prayer, “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change”. Push pause, stop trying to control the uncontrollable and understand that acceptance will bring the much needed release to turn your world back around.
::Who’s Who On This Card::
1.Faith (turning herself in scene) from Buffy - After running from the accidental manslaughter charges and thinking that she could hide or deny or blame everyone else, Faith finally found the courage to turn herself in and accept her fate. At the end of a major two-parter episode, she’s seen choosing to pause and find that release the Hanged Man points to by turning herself into jail. Ultimately, she sacrifices her freedom so that she doesn’t have to run anymore.
2.Belle from Beauty And The Beast - After finding her father imprisoned by The Beast, Belle asks that The Beast accept her in place of her father. As a prisoner, she accepts her restrictions so that she can get something better, her father’s freedom– and in the end even has a change of perspective over The Beast.
3.Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games - Katniss choosing to become a martyr, sacrificing her freedom and surrendering to the will of the Hunger Games in place of her sister has strong Hanged Man vibes. She gives up control of the situation, putting her life on pause so that she can participate in the games to gain her sister’s freedom. When the Hanged Man comes up in a reading, the universe is telling you that you may have to volunteer as tribute– but just remember in the end you may come out even more victorious as the Mockingjay!
4.Han Solo (in carbonite scene) from Star Wars - In The Empire Strikes Back, Han knows that they have lost the upper hand and things are not going their way. Instead of fighting back against Darth Vader, he lets himself be frozen in carbonite and accepts his fate. Interestingly, this was also because Harrison Ford was uncertain if he was going to return for the third movie, so they put his character in carbonite until he figured out which way to go – which is a very Hanged Man move as well.
5.Limbo from The Good Place - The Hanged Man is like being in a sort of metaphorical Limbo, much like the figurative one the main characters of The Good Place find themselves in after they die. The whole show has a subplot about different philosophies and changing how one approaches their life in order to break out of old patterns.
6.Jesus from Biblical Mythology - The Hanged Man can often point to martyrs and accepting God’s will in order to turn things around. In Biblical mythology, Jesus gave up his life for this higher cause, making the ultimate sacrifice in order for the world to gain some perspective on the ills of the world. Also, the imagery of hanging there, waiting for an epiphany and the eventual awakening is very Hanged Man-esque.
Yeah, I’m just trying to keep things running around here, and they’re always kind of hanging around, not doing anything really, looking like they know something you don’t, kind of creeps me out…
