Mon Athéna Exclamation à la dorure est terminée depuis un moment. Je réalise que je ne l'ai jamais postée ici.

Been awhile since I posted anything, but here's what I've been up to:

This beast has been on my table since before or house fire in 2020. Which means it was destroyed and I had to start version 2.0 in 2021. I keep procrastinating on it because it's a lot, but I'll finally close to being done. An earlier picture of the whole thing looks like this:

Like I said, it's a beast.

Alrighty, next up is another anthology, this one is a collection of a bunch of my favorite outsider pov fics from across different fandoms.

I designed the cover to look like an apartment building and it was a part of my ✨adventures in gilding✨ during which I fucked around with gold foil and found out because there's glitter everywhere. STILL.

In other news, I have now filled a shelf with solely binds I made for myself!

Honestly not sure how I feel about this cover, but if there's one thing I can say with certainty it is that it is very shiny.

I started my calligraphic quests in June 2023. This is my work as of the 10th of January, 2025. I hope to capture my journey in calligraphy and my love of letterforms here. Wish me luck!

May or may not have spent an afternoon on a lil side project.

Guess who finally remembered to film the final results before the sun set✨

An illustration of a "boyar" or "dvoryantsvo" heavy cavalryman of "Rod Vojvodin Bol'shogo" or "House Vojvodin of Bolshoi" unhorsing "a legitimate issue" or "a dynastic scion" of "Maison Williamson du Royaume d'Aquitaine" or "House Williamson of The Kingdom of Aquitaine." This illustration officially commemorates "Rus'kaya Tsarstvo's" or "The Tsardom of Rus'kaya's" under "Rod' Vojvodin Bolshogo's" or "House Vojvodin of Bolshoi's" hard-earned, blood-drenched, and phyrric military triumph against Maison Williamson du Royaume d'Aquitaine and their feudal, aristocratic and noble vassals during "The Second Rus'kayan Errantry War" officially preached and prosecuted in a mighty sermon held at "La Vallée de Morçeaux" in "Le Duché de Dulac" by Louis-Chrétien Carignan-Cerqui, Archevêque de Carillon on behalf of Archpatriarch Benedin XVI, 256th Bishop of Romulus and Head of The Conservative Church of The New Gods with the intent of the systematic and the punitive purging of the religious heretics officially subscribed to The Church of The Old Gods in Rus'kaya Tsarstvo in direct retaliation to Rod Vojvodin Bol'shogo's military and political connivance with the recalcitrant "magnateria Mazowiecki" or the aristocratic and noble "great houses" of Mazowiecki princeps and magnates. "The Magnateria Mazowiecki" as the princely "great houses" of Mazowiecki aristocracy and nobility, or "szlachta," formally protested their collective and general outrage, animosity, and bitter resentment towards "Wladyslaw IV Sprawiedliwy, 24th Margrave of Mazowsze and Dynastic Head of House Danielewski" with his foreign policy of signing a lifelong peace treaty with the southern emirates and sultanates of "Al-Khalifat Al-Khashabar" or "The Caliphate of Khashabar" officially lasting until the end of his reign. The religiously Conservative "Rod Danielewski z Malgorzata Mazowsza" or "House Danielewski of The Margraviate of Mazowsze," being the traditional and longstanding "Defenders of The Faith" as personally and conventionally proclaimed by "The Archpatriarchs" or "The Bishops of Romulus" as the canon, acolytic, and universal "Heads of The Conservative Church of The New Gods" since the historic unification of the predominantly heathen Mazowiecki petty kingdoms and tribal chiefdoms under the religiously Conservative "Krakus I Zjednoczyciecy, The Last Petty King of Krakula, The First and Founding Margrave of Mazowsze, and The Dynastic Head of House Danielewski." Successive and consecutive Margraves of Mazowsze from "House Danielewski" would continue to be formally and officially styled and proclaimed "The Defenders of The Faith" by "The Archpatriarchs" or "The Bishops of Romulus" until the historic advents of The Luxembourgian and The Dissenter Reformations officially preached and proselytized by Karl von Luxembourg, Ph.D and Cassyon Dufresne, respectively.

As a gesture of the divine favour and the support of his spiritual, cultural, and moral power, authority, and influence. "Archpatriarch Vexillarius IV, the venerable and ailing 299th and Reigning Bishop of Romulus and The Current Head of The Conservative Church of The New Gods" would rescind the title of "Defender of The Faith" from "The Hereditary Margraves of Mazowsze and The Dynastic Patriarchs of House Danielewski" and consecutively award it to "Edmund IV, 41st and Reigning King of Albion and Current, Dynastic Head of House Lyonheart" for his drafted and published antitheses both critiquing and openly condemning the general, sweeping, and universal theological reformation of "Karl Von Luxembourg, Church Doctor of Theology at Die Universität Wörtzburch" to the religious establishment of, and the institutions of organized religion within The Conservative Church of The New Gods officially seated within The Holy Sept of Classical Romulus, Cosmopoleis as the historic capital, civilizational kernel, and titular namesake of The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and "The Empire of Mankind Primus" before it's final collapse officially marking the end of The Civilized World's historic epoch of "Classical Antiquity" or "The Age of Heroes." As well as his open criticism and condemnation of both his maternal grandfather "Friedrich I, Der erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der Gründungschef von Hohenrotbart" and his older cousin "Albrecht Von Biermann, Der herrschend Markgraf von Brannenborg, Der momentan Chef von Hohenbiermann, und Der weltlich, übertragen Kurfürst Des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menschheit." Edmund IV, with his written antithesis openly critiquing and condemning both Karl Von Luxembourg, Ph.D and the early partisans of his attempts to reform The Conservative Church of The New Gods would denounce the systematic persecution, the legislative marginalization, and the confiscation of the lands, estates, and treasuries of any ecclesiastical and monastic clergy of The Conservative Church of The New Gods who had both openly refused to submit before, and openly protested against the formal renunciation of their spiritual, cultural, and moral ties of fealty to "The Archpatriarchs" or "The Bishops of Romulus" through their legislative decrees to formally convert to Karl Von Luxembourg's theological reforms on behalf of both their dynastic households and their hereditary subjects. This illustration best contrasts the civilizational differences between the opulence, the extravagance, and the luxury of "La Cour Royale de La Monarchie Aquitainienne et de Maison Williamson au Palais de Fontainebleau" with the rugged, hardy, and Spartan aesthetic of "the great houses" of the boyar and the dvoryantsvo "knyazi'" or "princes" officially housed and seated within the provincial "kremlins" or "stone fortresses" of the constituent Gospodar and Moravian petty principalities within Rus'kaya Tsarstvo.

Athéna Exclamation, la suite! : début de préparation de la sous couche avant la dorure. -L'apprêt de modelage , blanc, afin de recréer les reliefs des armures et ornements. -Le gesso de dorure, rose, qui servira à coller les feuilles. -L'or en coquille, un peu plus terne que la feuille d'or, qui, appliqué comme une aquarelle servira à dorer certaines zones pour plus de contraste.
