Description My favourite characters from the book ''Lies of Locke Lamora'' that I've finished some time ago: the Sanza twins,here,giving Bug (the adorable impulsive 12 years old boy) some card game lesson(more like humiliation and cheating lesson). I wanted to add some more details but the time was few.
Oh my,another passion related to thievery,what's wrong with me?

I love the texture of the blocks and the wooden table! Aww Bug's tongue/expression too!
I've not read the books but they do sound intriguing..
There's nothing wrong with you, it's probably due to most of them having a mysterious, dark, cunning, secretive and intriguing personality, that's why we love them so much!!!!! PLUS bows who doesn't like bows?!

Thank you very much!  I'm almost proud of that blocks because finally I understand how to give them their natural texture. For Bug I tied to draw what I read in the book and draw out his character as best as possible and put it in a picture,but it's always hard to imagine books' characters. And anyway I tried to keep in mind he's a 12 years old boy. These book are AMAZING: the setting,the story,the CHARACTERS,I really love them all.
Thieves are always the best ,and the bows too!

This is awesome. I love all the colours! And the texture on the table is amazing.
This looks like an interesting story. What's it about?

Thank you very much! 

The book tells the adventures of a band of thieves-con arstists called the Gentlemen Bastards (there is even a woman but she's away during the plot) in the city of Camorr ,a city very similar to an imaginary Venice.They're scamming some nobles but during their last fraud something happens in the criminal underworld of the city that will change everything in their lives. It's a good book,probably the best I've read,something very different from the classic fantasy in my opinion. I love it : there is blood,thievery and the language is 'colorful' and for this reason  everything stay true to a criminal setting. The best part is the sarcasm (even the narrator use it!) and the comical situations that lighten the tone. Now I'm reading the sequel Red Seas Under Red Skies.I'm reading them in english because 1)in Italy the last one is not traslated . 2)I like more the original because in the translation  lacks always something and often the translations of names are tremendous. 3) good exercice.

Never read it but you're so good with wood. Thought the head of the right one is bent itty bit awkwardly.

Thank you very much! Actually I've done the wooden table in three-five minutes while I passed almost half an hour on  that neck:that's the reason why I hate so much the damn anatomy.

For me the only not difficult thing is... a single eye.
