The Art and History stuff by Alex VanArsdale

The Night Lady, Jaal, walking in the enchanted woods of Amoria. Places many would feel lost in is where Jaal feels the most at home. What would happen if you met her in the dead of night walking amid the shadows? PhoxnSparky and I are really polishing up the script for the first book and should be starting on page production soon. I've finally gotten the style nailed down.

Meet Queen Andora the ruler of Amoria. She’s very humble and sweet but is shrouded in mystery. She doesn’t want her past to be known and has surrounded herself with people who work non stop to keep it from coming to light.

Meet Kypper! One of the main characters of the Legends of Amora story!  She’s got a huge heart and is a huge fan of her nations queen, Andora. However the queen may not be what Kypper expects.

Working on a new comic project with my bro called The Legends of Amora.  I can’t wait to get into the swing of things on this project. I’m looking forward to sharing more soon!

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!

Today is the 214th anniversary of the battle of Austerlitz! One of Napoleon's greatest victories. The battle of the three Emperors showed Europe that the French Emperor was not to be trifled with. I'm quite happy with this piece! Napoleon is in the heat of it here as he commands the fusiliers to advance. Meanwhile the elite cavalry of both armies charge each other head on in the background!

Marengo Has Arrived!

My Glorious mug has arrived!

Thank you  grievousfan for making such an awesome image of Marengo! I will treasure him always!

Napoleon and Marengo following the dream within them! Never give up on your dreams! Stay motivated and press on! Oh and don't go to Belgium in June! It's too wet! Song featured in this piece.

This is the second book in the Jacque and Cheval series. This one is focusing on Jacque's unit the Seventh Cuirassier! Also we get to see Jacque's captain and his horse there in the background eager to greet their Emperor. Some of you historians may recognize the composition of this page. LOL Comment below if you do.

“Dear Diary,

I talked to Claude today and was eager to remind him that I shall be remembered in history for my great achievements, my intellect, my government, my awesome hat. Claude laughed and said “you’ll be remembered for being the shortest man that ever lived.”

My style of @alexvanarsdale‘s character Jacques from their Napoleonic comic series.  Go check out their stuff! I really dislike having to do nitty gritty details on clothing because of the time it takes but I think it turned out in the end- the metal glints were a bit of fun to do I must say.

First of the friends' OCs drawings! Jacque belongs to @alexvanarsdale. He was very fun to draw (I apologize if his uniform is a little inaccurate. Also the lines might be a little wonky because I inked with a brush pen and my hands are shaky)

I got the Arteza Everblend markers and HOLY MACKEREL they're amazing. Unfortunately they didn't come with a very broad skin tone selection hence he looks a little pink (I'll have to get the skin tone pack separately)

Thanks for letting me draw him! He has such a cool design :D

Looks like Penny's on the road looking for Sarsaparilla! This girl is crazy and has to have her sassafras! Boy does Spur have a lot he's going to have to deal with when his sister comes to town... again. The idea for this poster just popped in my head the other day. Haven't drawn Spur or Penny stuff in a long time.
