Oh yeah, fanart of Evangeline from Wakfu. I've loved this character since I was a kid. And in general I love characters like this: with mature views and adequate.

And so, after rewatching Wakfu, I decided to draw this small fan art.

I don't really like this art. Well, nothing special. Just normal art. But other people are really excited about it, umm.. So weird, haha.

So this art made it to my list of the best art of all time, yeah💅

"My tenderness, my happiness, what words can I write for you? How strange that although my life’s work is moving a pen over paper, I don’t know how to tell you how I love, how I desire you. Such agitation — and such divine peace: melting clouds immersed in sunshine — mounds of happiness. And I am floating with you, in you, aflame and melting — and a whole life with you is like the movement of clouds, their airy, quiet falls, their lightness and smoothness, and the heavenly variety of outline and tint — my inexplicable love. I cannot express these cirrus-cumulus sensations."

- Vladimir Nabokov's love letter to his wife, Véra ❤️

Antoni Pogorelsky, a contemporary of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, wrote several fairy tales for children. “The Little Black Hen”, one of his best, was composed for his ten-year-old nephew Alyosha.The book’s main character is a young boy also called Alyosha. In return for his kindness and help the fairy folk reveal their innermost secrets to him. But he must keep these secrets faithfully, or his magic gift will disappear… In this story fantasy alternates with an authentic account of life in the St. Petersburg boarding school where Alyosha lives and studies and where everything is strictly and harshly regulated. This is reality. And it is contrasted with make-believe. For the miraculous is close at hand-you need only tip-toe quietly through some dark, mysterious chambers to enter the radiant,colourful realm of fantasy …
