I mostly draw fan art and illustrations but I also like to dabble in original characters and some manga.

I’ll be glad to meet some new art mutual!

ตอนนู้นเคยพูดถึง Sappho เพิ่งรู้ว่า Marie Laurencin ก็เคยวาดภาพประกอบบทกวีของ Sappho ด้วยล่ะ!

โลรองซังเป็นศิลปินหญิงและ lgbt ในยุค cubism (ยุคเดียวกับปิกาสโซ) ปกติเรามักจะเห็นภาพหญิงสาวในสายตาของผู้ชาย ภาพเขียนของโลรองซังเนี่ยเห็นกี่ทีก็รู้สึกว่ามีเสน่ห์เนอะ https://t.co/eV01ITN44g

His Deacon is one of his most finished works & presents his view of ideal male beauty, just as his Sappho indicates a female equivalent. A Deacon (1863), Sappho & Erinna (1864), Poetry (1864) & Girl at a Fountain (1865)

Throughout his work there is a sensuality that borders on decadence - Ezekiel & the Angel is an example of that. The Mother of Moses (1860), Sappho (1862) & Ezekiel & the Angel (1861) & the Painter’s Pleasaunce (1861)

Pride Month Day 6 (sorry I'm late!), today I drew the Poet Queen of the Isle of Lesbos, herself, Sappho! She was renown throughout the ancient world for her beautiful poetry & her love for other women. She is partly responsible for the modern term "Lesbian" (after her island).

5) For as long as I've been rping, I've loved telling stories. No surprise that I'm a career writer, right? I create OCs to tell stories that I couldn't tell with others. (Characters in order: Sapphois (wow), Paige (GW2), Nikatell (EQ2), Connlain (GW2) )
