My Bio
22-year-old French girl training to be a public servant, with some proficiency in scribbling and a (most likely unhealthy) passion for the first half of the XIXth century. And yeah, I do actually play the harp, even though the only pictures that have me doing that just look like some amateur trying to show off.

What's in my notebooks :

- Lots of... notes. Either quick observations jotted down while visiting museums and generally walking around cities, or mementos which I never actually use afterwards.
- Eldritch abominations and assorted monsters crawling all over the pages.
- Attempts at historical humour.
- Sketches made during the aforementioned museum visits and city walks.

The first two really aren't all that interesting, so expect my gallery to focus mostly on the last two, in a barely edited form.

What's not in my notebooks :

- Settings and sceneries of any kind. Good thing I don't fancy myself a serious artist.
- Colour. I actually like using it, but most of the time I draw while I'm away from home, and when I'm home and I've got the tools under my hand, I always have something better to do. Though that may change if I post anything from my art classes.

Favourite Visual Artist
Horace Vernet, Edouard Detaille, Thomas Lawrence, Antoine-Jean Gros... anyone senses a pattern developping here?
Favourite Movies
Anything by Sacha Guitry (I know, I'm hopeless...)
Favourite TV Shows
Engrenages
Favourite Bands / Musical Artists
Tri Yann, Robert Holmes, Lio and many others...
Favourite Books
Too many to list, right now anything history-related is on my list (except for Bernard Bergerot's apologia of Hoche. That one was just downright embarrassing to read. And Elting is quickly losing credit for his obvious and unjustified biases.)
Favourite Writers
Probably Fred Vargas for thrillers, René Barjavel for anything supernatural, Thiébault and the Duchess of Abrantès for their Mémoires and Alan Palmer for biographies.
Favourite Games
Civilization, Fire Emblem, Gabriel Knight and how did I manage to forget Amnesia? (both of them) My love for Final Fantasy has faded, but it deserves a mention because FFVII is what introduced me to fandoms in general :)
Favourite Gaming Platform
Good old PS2 !
Tools of the Trade
Pencils, eraser, colour pencils on occasion. I'm just an amateur.
Other Interests
Surely you have guessed by now...

Lucky me, I've been tagged by XxESPEONxX55 (https://www.deviantart.com/xxespeonxx55) ! Here are his questions: 1- If you could visit any place, where you go? I suppose it has to be some new place? (Otherwise I'll just say Copenhagen because I really really miss that city). Then I'd say New Orleans, Munich (okay, I did technically go there but I have absolutely no memory of it)... or some backwater town like Châtillon-sur-Seine or Bussy-le-Grand, just guess why. 2- Do you have pets? I live in the same house as two guinea pigs. Well, I did break two or three vertebrae trying to change their litter. Also, but that goes without saying, I've got four siblings (I guess they're pest

Hi
I love to study history and after seing your gallery, I've found so many interesting things about the french history and literature I've recently read Leroman de Renart (Believe me, you don't know hard it's find it here where I live)
Well I hope more people start to visit your profile because you have a great gallery.

And for well if isn't a problem.
maybe we can talk one of those days?. I'll have so many questions about france and his history and if you want I can tell you so many things about the history of my country (Mexico) after all is the job of my family.
