(1/6 For The 6fanarts Challenge) 

an historically inaccurate portrayal of the relationship between leonardo da vinci and his pupil is something that can be so personal, 

some tulips for you 🌷

i fixed an old sketch

Redraw! September 2020 VS October 2018

wtnv again, this time charles and donovan! i’m still not sure about their design, but for now let’s try this one... kevin hasn’t mentioned that charles looked exactly like carlos, so i just supposed that he doesn’t? 

(also yes, charles is wearing a bracelet of human teeth. kevin made it - he claims that it brings joy or something)

thank you so so much, you have answered my question and expanded the theme so beautifully! i had catched glipses of elements borrowed from the gospels in other episodes of the dyonisiaca, but the link between the tree-climbing and zacchaeus didn't occurr to me.

and your research sounds incredibly interesting; now i am absolutely looking forward to get to the parts with ampelus and pentheus

question not related to art (yet):

lately i have been reading the dionysiaca by nonnus and just yesterday i have reached the part in which actaeon's myth is told. nonnus makes acteaeon climb a tree in order to spy on artemis, and i wanted to ask - how popular is this element in this myth? because it is very clear that here nonnus intends to draw as many parallels between actaeon and pentheus as possible (as he should) and if i remember correctly in ovid there are no mentions of actaeon climbing a tree. does someone knows any other classical versions in which this element is present?

thank you in advance

lovely people who follow this account,

thank you so so much for having supported my art this year. it sincerely means the world to me.

i am sorry for not having been that active lately, but i have received a commission (for which i am extremely grateful and that i am loving working on) that will keep me occupied for many months. i hope i will be able to show you something about it soon.

sometimes i have some windows of free time between the feedbacks of the client and, if university or work allow me to do it, i use them to draw some personal things. for this reason i will probably still post from time to time, but i would like these kind of drawings to be less polished and demanding than the usual ones. the fact is that my mental health has not been in a good state during the second half of 2024, and to work with a more casual process when it comes to personal things is helping me a bit. aside from this, i am absolutely determined to work on myself to come back stronger than before.

i hope you will still enjoy the art that i make and, if not, i am really grateful that you have followed my blog until now 🫶🏼

thank you so much to everyone else for your patience. i wish you the most meaningful and serene 2025 ♥️
