Hello Everybody!!!

You thought I was lost, right? ... Nope. 
But if you're wondering what's up with me... well ... i gotta say my life completely changed those three last years. 

I moved in another country
Now i live in Paris
I fell in Love in Paris
I almost completely abandoned Digital Media to coma back to Traditional Media
Since 4 years i abandoned my job as illustrator, graphic ect... and i'm in one of the most luxurious hotel in world now... and it feels good. 
This means that i can draw and do whatever i want, when i want. I don't care anymore!

These are mysterious times. Europe is crossing a very difficult period. As i always travel between France and Italy, i usually see things that make me feel worried, depressed... sometimes i feel that i'm loosing hope.

We are overwhelmed of informations. And i have the strong feeling that we are living like the blind crowds, like in Orwell's book "1984".... or Huxley's "Brave new World".

Perhaps this is not the right place to talk.

My last submissions were declined by many groups. i'm doing my best to improve. As i'm a self-taught... i need more time to understand. I have to talk with a comic pro... maybe there's a place in his studio. The point is that I do not feel good enough to work in his studio... we'll i'm not good enough. I'd like to learn faster.... i'd like not to feel so old and tired, so hated.

I feel my art irritate some people i have around that says: "you are 26... it's too late for you, girl, too late. And you are not able. This is not for you."

But i can't stop it.

So i will continue because it is what i like. It's me. I'm not perfect. And i don't wanna be someone else's perfect anymore.

Yes... I have already some commissions to do... but if you want to ask me for a drawing/illustration of your character, that's fine. You can note me! I normally prefer drawing women... but i can try with guys as well. It's just that i'm not so good so... i still have to learn so much... I made some practice with Vampire the Masquerade characters and Dungeons and Dragons ones. Well it's my DnD time, i admit it. I am playing now a Neverwinter chronicle. I'm a Tempus Cleric... and an Aasimar. Yep! I'm having fun!

This is our Characters in the chronicle. The first is Rachelle, my cleric, then we have an Air genasi wizard, Hai Lin, then Magmor the barbarian... I still have to draw three other characters... an elf, a halfling and a fire genasi... tatatannn we did a blog too "Fearunians"... but it is written in italian so...



My book is doing well... i'm very impressed...  indeed. But it's in Italian... If you want to have a look:    Sometime i remember myself i am a writer and not an illustrator... but drawing is my very big passion... and i'm sure on just one big thing: i want to know... grow... when i see the other's deviants works i feel so ... incapable and backward... i just dream i could draw so fine as them. And i will continue pratice. Many people around me say:" Let it be, you are not able to draw... you are waisting your time"... but i really don't want to surrender.
