My Bio

I'm a 40-something French ace who lives in the South West of France, doodles a lot and likes to sing in the shower. Hi there!


I mostly do fanart, although every once in a while I'll get a picture in my head that hasn't got anything to do with fandoms. Please don't repost my art or save it elsewhere without my permission. My art Tumblr is the-french-belphegor.tumblr.com; I usually post more art there than on DA. Can't wait to see you around!


Feel free to peek around my little gallery, and don't forget to leave a comment if you liked or didn't like something to tell me why!

There can never be too many nods and winks to the Monty Python on the Internet. Just sayin'. As it turns out (and as witnessed by my suddenly better stocked "Fics and snapshots" folder), my spark for writing made a surprise return at the end of last year; since then I've been writing frantically in case it's temporary and goes away again (lately I've been slowing down and consequently been afraid that the urge to write was getting diluted into other interests/fandoms... typical). Two things have really been a big encouragement, though: the fact that I now know that I can actually complete a chaptered story (that had never happened before!),

Tag! I'm it :)

I've been tagged, so I figured I should answer :) Rules 1. You must post these rules (Very Important indeed). 2. Each person must post 11 things about themselves in their journal. 3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer. 4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal. 5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged him/her. 6. No tag backs. 7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this." You legitimately (AKA, really, truly, with all honesty) have to tag 11 people. - Can't so won't, s

I thought I could use a different skin for my journal entry (even though I don't have a paid account) because of the other skin choices beside the classic green... Sneaky DeviantART is sneaky :lol: Well, spring seems to be on its merry way (hopefully) and there's white and pink buds all over trees on my way to work. It'll be nice if they don't freeze to death because of morning frost =| Also, the Best Beloved and I spent the weekend tearing down wallpaper at his brother's new house, so naturally I'm now achy all over =P Still, it was at least a bit fun, and they're in a hurry so they were grateful for the hand. We'll return, of course, when

*shares cake* Thank you SO much! (and I'm sorry it took me so long to reply :S )
okay i noticed that your profile says your from France so i was wondering if you could tell me what 'I've been saved by an Angel' translates to in French. I've used Google but when i translate it back into English to double check the translation it comes out as 'I was saved by an angel' was not been and perhaps that it is the right translation but i want to be sure yay know?
Sure! It depends on the context, though. Like, who is the speaker's gender? It makes a difference in the way you write the sentence (and sometimes also pronounce, depending on the verb).

So I'd say "J'ai été sauvé par un ange" if the speaker is male, and "J'ai été sauvée par un ange" if the speaker is female. But honestly, the sentence, while grammatically correct, sounds a little heavy and clunky. It could also be "C'est un ange qui m'a sauvé-e" or "Un ange m'a sauvé-e." Could you give me more context around the sentence?
