A special art-comic for Malleus’s birthday ^////^

I know, it’s a bit late but I wanted to do something special. It’s true that I do a lot of arts about that dragon. I just love him, both because his my favorite character (and I am super hype and nervous for the next of Chapter 7) but also he had a very special place in my heart, just like Ashitaka, Chihiro or all LotR’s characters…

It’s quite long to explain, but every time that things became  hard, and seems to be unsurmontable as a heavy burden, along with peoples, theres is universes, stories that give me courage. Twisted Wonderland and in particular Malleus ones  of these stories, of these characters who remind me that even in the grayness of a rainy day, there is always an opportunity to smile. Little moments of happiness that warm the heart, like a good hot chocolate or tea ^^.

Malleus’s Birthday Event had been upload just after a very tense work period at the university. Read the new Personal Story with the interactions between Malleus and Ace and Malleus Groovy Cards give me that warm and reminded me of one of Rebecca Tripp’s medley cover (link below :-)). The music and the poem (from where the lyrics in the art are from) increase that feeling, that whatever things are rough and hard, there is always someone, in a story and/or in real life that guide us and give hope. It’s remind me how important and precious relationships are.    

I think that bond to other whatever it’s with a parent, a friends, classmate/workmate or a lover, is the core of Malleus’s inner journey. Even he is a loner because his personality and social statut, he is looking for that human connection, to open himself to other…

Happy birthday dear Dragon-Fea ^///^

Silver Vanrouge, Knight of Evening Dawn

A small fan-comic based credit song « Clockwork Quick and Lightning Slow (A Spell to make all things well) » from Ancient Magus Bride’s OVA Those Awaiting a Star. The eerie and unusual but yet peacefulmelody, along with the fairy lullaby like lyrics, reflected the journey of Silver Vanrouge through Book 7 and his relationship with his family.

I don’t know why but there is somethings between Diasomnia and the Ancient Magus Bride (both manga and anime). Both stories talk are about the relation between humans and fairies(and others supernatural/no-humans beings), about healing inner wounds: the ones of a close friends or family members, a totally stranger or a simple neighbor, or the ones deep inside ourself… but also about how life is precious as well as family, ours relationships and connections with others.

« Life is clockwork quick. Lightning slow. Faster on your toes so… Eat your sugared dreams and face the day before it run away »

Éric and Christine´s final farewell

I recently read once again The Phantom of the Opéra by Gaston Leroux…. and once again, the two last chapters broken me.

So I doodle their last scene together. I think it will end up one day to paint a full color and detailed illustration.

For Éric’s appearance, I try to took most out of the novel’s descriptions but also I wanted to humanized him, not just making a skull with glowning eyes or a monstrous face.

Pauvre, pauvre Éric

Dancer of the River

Mizutsune performing his enchanted dance in the Scarlet Forest during the Plenty…

I am so glad that Mizutsune is back in Monster Hunter Wilds ( as also Lagiacrus) ^////^

And his new music theme !! Yes the shakuhachi (japanese flute) is "less" dominant than in the Rise or Gen’s version but the medley became so epic ! If Lagiacrus is the Lord of Seas, Mizutsune is the Lord of Rivers and Streams, like the Mizuchi or rivers Kami of legends. The new theme suit him so well !

There so many things I want to tell about Monster Hunter Wilds. This game is so beautiful and inspiring, as art, music and story… So happy to be back in the world of Monster Hunter ^^

Becoming One with Life

" Wilderness wild and perilous be, deep in the heart of danger Wilderness wild and perilous be, filling your heart with fire

Mountains rise in the distance. Stalwart as the stars fall, fading forever.

Roads ever weaving. Soul ever seeking the hunter's mark "

Everytime I listen or think about the main theme of Monster Hunter 3, To One with Life, I can't help but feel a deep warm feeling in my hear that remind me what I love about Monster Hunter.

From Moga's seacoast to the Misty Peeks of Yukumo, there is a story that it's written. Not just about just fighting powerful Monsters or Elder Dragons such as Ceadeus, Amatsu or Alatreon.

It's about journeys and meeting and making bond with other peoples. Discovering new cultures and countries. About friendship and understanning. Of being amaze by the richess of Nature.

About how all lives, Humans as Monsters are connected a world full danger and beauty.

Tears of a Dragon…

A fan-comic based on the climax of Legend of Vox Machina season 1… More the Book 7 goes to the final confrontation with Overbloted Malleus, more I feel that I need to draw a crossover/fanart based on that particular scene of that show. When Vex’hallia take off Percy's mask as he possess by Orthax and his desire of vengeance, revealing his face, his true face…

Since all those years I always knew that Book 7 ending would be a big emotinal turmoil…

and...

And I don't think to cut off his horns in order to stop him is the best solution and cure to save him!

It will only repeating History again ! The knight slaying with his mighty Sword of Truth the evil Dragon, or the Dawn Knight defeating Maleficia. Only recreate a tragic circle…

This time it is love and understanding that can save the day, no magical sword. Silver ( and in some way may be Yuu, and Malleus too) is the key to end the curse…

I know it’s the kind of line that can turn quickly to cliché but nothing is stronger than love and only that can heal wounds and a broken, lonely heart…

Both the Greatest Foe than the Devoted Protector

“ Carry my soul, into the night. May the stars light my way. I glory in the sight. As darkness takes the day.

Tell the ones, the ones I loved, I never will forget.

Never will forget. “

I had this illustration in mind since I wrote that essay on Malleus’Overbolt music theme. Since how goes chapter 7 with each Dorms Leaders facing their Phantom, their greatest fear or darkest side. I have the feeling that at the end, Malleus will confront that loneliness that haunt him to long and froze him in the darkness and finaly be able to protect his familly and all the persons dear to him…

I had already made an Diasomnia illustration based on the lyrics and the haunting music of In Noctem by Nicolas Hooper, now I think with Pippin's Song, Edge to the Night, it fits so well to the journey of Malleus…

Fading light

More Diasomnia Arc goes on, more I wanted to do an illustration with Malleus's Overbolt form inspired by one of Evylind Earle's Maleficent concept art for Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty. When I started to sketch some ideas, Part 4 has been released and... I wasn't expected so such angst, such much sadness. There was since the beginning of that Arc but... It's just... I cannot find the words. Certainly, with Idia, Malleus's Arc is and will one of the most saddess and emotional.

I think that the song To Edge of Night fits well with all of this...

While Malleus becoming that dangerous, dark Dragon-Fea Lord, like in old fairies tales, he try desperately to protect the lasts gleam of light... The ones of his family, friends and love ones... Even if the price to pay is that all in plunged in darkness and dream world...

"Through shadow, To the edge of night. Until the stars are all alight. Mist and shadow. Cloud and shade. All shall fade. All shall... fade "

Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King, "To the Edge of Night", Howard Shore and Billy Boyd

The Horn of Rohan

“Where is the horse? Where is the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?

[...] They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills in the shadow. “

“Lament of the Rohirrim“, Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers, Book III chapter 6 The King of the Golden Hall, J.R.R. Tolkien

I was working on this illustration since december and I so happy to finally finish it ^^

I think, of all the cultures of Middle-Earth in the books and the movies, Rohan is my favorite (alongside the Elves of course ;-) ). When I frist saw Lord of the Rings the Towers Towers twelve years ago, the land of the Rohirrims made a such impression on me than it never leave from my heart. The music, the celtic/saxon/viking inspiration through all the visual design and of course all the characters from both the Trilogy, the Appendix or the movies...

Winter Wolf

" Perhaps this is magic: to perceive that wave inwardly and outwardly. The mind takes flight, like porpoise, dancing joyfully from one surge unto the next. Flying through that mirror in which all things are reflected. Home as with everywhere is found within this blessed space. Here, truest beauty is revealed. Here, the stars renew. Wishes are granted, and sorrows soothed".

A winter art of Uiliam McTíre ^^

When I start picturing this illustration, I was thinking about Uiliam (and the “spiritual“ representation of his wolf form) with somekind of winter's loneliness. But while I was painting this, I remembered one of Rebecca Tripp's Legend of Zelda Medley. As I was re-listening that specific medley which I already love, I feel a big warm in my heart, just like with the music-track “Alone in the World“, and realize how much this medley fit to Uilliam's journey and personality.

Winter, night and loneliness, doesn't alway means sadness and being apart of everything... or everyone. Sometimes those time of quiet and solitude help to remember what is really important... To see the beauty and light there were once only darkness. A time for rest and peace.

And at Spring, when the ice will melt, freeing the lake, it will be time to move one and embrasse a new dawn...

(Note: Uilliam McTíre is the main protagonist of my original story MacTíre, a comics inspired Irish and Scottish medieval folklore)

Eärendil's Light

" But on him mighty doom was laid, till Moon should fade, an orbéd star to pass, and tarry never more on Hither Shores where Mortals are; for ever still a herald on an errand that should never rest to bear his shining lamp afar, the Flammifer of Westernesse.

" [Galadriel] held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang form her hand. 'In this phial,' she said, 'is caight the light of Eärendil's star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other light go out."
