Heyyy people!

I know how depressing everything is atm, and that's why it's very important not to abandon ourselves to despair, because despair leads to inaction. This may be small, but I decided to bring a my contribution to the fight. I encourage you to do the same! It doesn't have to be big, but it has to be you. In the daily things you do that bring you joy, try to incorporate values that matters to make the world a better place!

The charity stickers are available on my Ko-fi shop!

Love you 💖✨️

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride everyone!! 🏳️‍🌈 Despite everything, we persist! Let us remember in these dark times the roots of Pride: protest, deconstruction of the norm and protection of the ones who needs it the most. Do not let your guard down but don't fall into despair either. More than ever we need to stand as one against those seeking to destroy us, no matter our diversity. Take care of each other and always fight back! Love ya! 💖

Characters and their flags: - Shi'sukk: bisexual - Torga: Ace In Grace's asexual flag (he's more specifically demisexual/graysexual but I really like the colour palette of this flag. And the meaning of the colours, especially for the gray, white and pink, felt right for Torga) - Kurgen and Voji: lesbian - Ulin: transgender - Ykk'ul: aroace

FR Heyyy ! On est déjà en mai donc vous connaissez la chanson, c'est le retour du MerMay ! Je ne participe pas cette année parce que, pour être honnête, les thèmes de la liste officielle ne m'inspiraient pas beaucoup.. Maiiis je voulais quand même célébrer tout ça en dessinant les pookies ! Et vous connaissez mon amour pour les baleines, donc je n'ai pas pu résister l'envie de dessiner Shi'sukk en dauphin commun (Delphinus delphis) et Torga en orque (Orcinus orca) ! Bref, joyeux MerMay et à bientôt !

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

EN Heyyy! It's May already so you know the drill, it's MerMay time!! I'm not participating this year cuz, to be frank, the prompts of the official promptlist didn't inspire me a lot.. Buuuut I still wanted to celebrate by drawing the pookies! And you know my love for whales, so I couldn't resist drawing Shi'sukk as a common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and Torga as an orca (Orcinus orca)! Anyways, happy MerMay and see you soon!

TW self harm

Heyyyy people! I thought I would be done with this chapter quicker but here it is! I tried to start slowly introducing some lore (yes it will be explained in more details later, trust)! I'm very happy with the visuals of some of the pages, especially the coloured ones hehehehe

Thank you for reading, see you soon!

Stories of an Ending World, Chapter 2: "Introduction"

Heyy people! I'm back with a new chapter! Ngl this one was a bit boring to make BUT more interresting stuff is coming in the next ones 👀 Also, I think I'm getting faster at comic making, especially with the screentones! Anyways, I hope you'll like it! See you soon!

FR Heyyy Comme je le disais la dernière fois, j'ai décidé de retoucher un peu à l'aquarelle et me revoilà avec de nouvelles illu ! Et punaise, ça fait longtemps qu'elles attendaient leur colo.. A la base, je les ai pensées comme des designs de stickers (d'où les grands espaces vides dans la compo, pour laisser la place à du texte), mais je les aime tellement que je les utiliserai peut-être pour d'autres trucs, genre des bannières ou choses du genre (voire même des prints si vous êtes intéressés). Ce projet de stickers vient en fait de la volonté de refaire des stickers caritatifs (comme je le fais avec le sticker Palestine), mais cette fois-ci, ce serait pour les personnes migrantes (car passer des frontières ne devrait pas être criminalisé) et pour la lutte des artistes contre l'intelligence artificielle générative. Je n'ai pas encore décidé à quels organismes je reverserai l'argent collecté par la vente des stickers, mais j'ai fait quelques prototypes et je les trouve trop styléééés héhéhé Bref, comme d'hab', tout un programme, mais on est déter et c'est ça qui compte ! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

EN Heyyy As I was saying last time, I decided to go back to watercolour a bit and here I am with new illustrations! And man, they've been waiting to be painted for a while.. At first, I imagined them as sticker designs (hence the big empty spaces, to write texts in it), but I love them so much that I might use them for other stuff, like profile banners and other things like that (even maybe prints if you're interested). This sticker project stems from the will to make more charity stickers (like the Palestine sticker), but this time, it would be for the migrants (because crossing borders should never be criminalised) and for the artists' fight against generative AI. I haven't decided yet which organisations to choose for the donation of the money from the sale of the stickers, but I made some prototypes and they're so siiiiick hehehe Anyway, as always, a big adventure awaits but we're motivated, and that's all that matters!

Stories of an Ending World, Chapter 1: "Tribe in the Taiga"

Hello people!! Here is (at last!) chapter 1 of the comic! I feel I'm finally finding a style I like for my black and white/ink and screentone works! Shi'sukk and Torga were a bit overshadowed by other characters, but I hope you liked Ulin and Kurgen — I was very excited to introduce them to y'all 👀 Chapter 2 might take some time to be done because I'll try to work on some watercolour stuff and also to research on how to make my own website to host the comic — I don't really want to post on big comic platforms such as Webtoon or Tapas because I don't want to be too exposed, and posting a comic like this on social media is the least practical thing ever, both for you and me haha.. Until then, thank you for your support and see you soon!

Stories of an Ending World, "Prologue":

Heyyy people! Here it is, finally, the beginning of my new comic! You met Shi'sukk and Torga few weeks ago, well now is the time to see their story! I'm shitting my pants making this post — I'm really invested in telling this story now and I put a lot of effort into making these first pages during the past few weeks... Also, yes, you're supposed to read it from left to right (like a western comic), and let's all pretend that I didn't fumble the composition of my pages and that it was all intentional that Shi'sukk is walking against the reading direction to show her toil as she proceeded into this dark forest hahahaha Anywayyys, I don't feel like painting or making illustrations at the moment, so the next post will probably be chapter 1! I'll find a way to archive all the chapters on another platform/website to make it easier to read on the long run, but for now, you can find the pages on this tumblr blog and on my Instagram! Happy reading! I hope you'll like this story as much as I do!

FR Heyyy Je suis enfin de retour avec quelque chose à vous montrer ! Voici Shi'sukk et Torga, mes nouvelles poupées préférées! Ils sont les personnages principaux d'un projet de BD plus large intitulé 'Stories of an Ending World' , une histoire de low-fantasy inspirée du paléolithique supérieur européen, avec du deuil, du drama et de la ✨️romance✨️ Bon, je veux être absolument transparente avec vous : je ne sais pas vers quoi je vais avec ce projet, je suis putain de terrifiée à l'idée de le partager avec le monde, je me sens complexée par rapport à littéralement tout ce que je fais et je n'ai que récemment réalisé à quel point j'avais peur d'être perçue. Donc pour être honnête, je ne sais pas si je serai capable de mener ce projet à son terme ou si je vais lui aussi l'abandonner dans quelques mois. Tout ce que je sais, c'est que j'ai une histoire (peut-être trop longue pour moi) à raconter et qu'essayer de la raconter sera toujours mieux que la laisser pourrir dans un coin de ma tête. Ce sera maladroit et amateur, mais ce sera sincère. J'espère que cela vous intéressera. Comme toujours, merci infiniment de votre soutien 🙏💖 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

EN Heyyy I'm finally back with something to show you! Meet Shi'sukk and Torga, my new favourite dolls! They're the main characters of a larger comic project called 'Stories of an Ending World', a low-fantasy story inspired by the European upper-paleolithic, featuring grief, drama and ✨️romance✨️ Now, I wish to be absolutely transparent with you: I don't know where I'm going with this project, I'm fucking terrified of sharing it to the world, I just feel so self conscious about everything I do and I recently realised how bad my fear of being perceived was. So truthfully, I don't know if I'll be able to fulfil this project or if I'm just gonna give up on it as well in a few months. All I know right now is that I have a story to tell (maybe too big for me) and that attempting to tell it is better than letting it rot in my head. It'll be clumsy and unprofessional, but it'll be sincere. Hopefully you guys will be interested in it. As always, thank you so much for your support 🙏💖

Hello people! It's been a while since I last posted something. I wish I could tell you that I'm finally ready to create and be productive again, and even if I do feel a bit better than at the time of my previous post, I just feel really tired and apathetic. I'm stuggling a lot when it comes to drawing. I'm trying to get back at it, and the piece I'm posting now is the most elaborated results of these trials. I've been trying to focus on things I like, and european upper-paleolithic art is one of them; as far as I know, seals and orca (as much as any marine creatures or fish) have never been depicted in european cave art, but I just wanted to draw them since I love them haha I've been meaning to start working on a new original project, and even though I grow more and more attached to and invested into it, I'm still struggling to lit the flame of passion again. At the end of the day, idk how things are gonna evolve, if I'll ever make this project real or not (although I really wish to), but I'm gonna try. Thank you very much for your patience and your support. I hope to see you soon with happier news.

I also would like to state that I no longer wish to be associated with the JoJo fandom anymore. I had my run, and I'm grateful for the people I've met there, but it's just not part of who I am anymore, so I'm in the process of moving on this part of my life. Thank you.

Useful at last

I made this comic when I was feeling at my lowest, about a week ago. I think I'm slowly getting better, but making art is pretty rough at the moment.
