Efforts are being made to do a more accurate likeness

90% of it is just emphasising the most tiredest eyes I've ever seen.

“I have been the world around, and in every corner of it, and never yet saw your equal, or even one which could be put in comparison with you. You know how to reward virtue, honour, and courage; and never to ask if is placed in a Prince, Duke, Lord, or Peasant: and I hope, one day, to see you, in peace, for I set out for Bronte, which I am resolved to do.”

— Horatio Nelson to Emma Hamilton, 1801

My workload atm is ridiculously intensive so I can't work on my comics- but don't worry, always in the back of the head is the ridiculous little admiral and his statuesque girlfriend

happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

on this picture i drew Alexandr Andreevich Alexandrov - cavalry officer of the russian imperial army that participated in napoleonic wars. people persistently keep on misgendering mispronounsing deadnaming and calling him a crossdresser although alexandrov clearly stated that he didn't want to be called by his deadname and being treated like anything but a man. that's an interesting historical figure and i wanted to draw attention to his person. i can't tell everything about him in only one post so i recomend you to read about alexandrov by yourself

also be proud of yourself and remember that you're valid! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Just a rough layout, but having no time to work on this ongoing project was driving me crazy, so am allowing myself to upload something very unfinished just to feel like I'm making progress.

Also I need to come up with a name for this Emma/Horatio comic, mostly for my own tagging reasons.

What I want to do is keep uploading scenes of various completeness, then when I have enough time and material, I want to go through it, redraw and refine and rewrite a lot of it, and work it into a proper, finessed thing.

Idk the fact that they were so ridiculed and stigmatized for their relationship in their day, and now their portraits hang together in the national portrait gallery has me feeling some sort of way 🥲🥲🥲
