Captain Nemo

I drew this piece in 2019, and although I can see lots of mistakes and imperfections, it's still one of my favourite artworks

i found some photos from 1955 of an exhibit of the set of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea:

i think it's pretty cool !! seeing these sets unpopulated, and from a different angle. i'm keeping these because they might help me incase i decide to draw anything for this movie :]

illustration for the moment from 20000 leagues under the sea part 1 chapter 9

The locks were turned, the door opened, and the steward appeared.

Before I could rush forward to stop him, the Canadian had thrown him down, and held him by the throat. The steward was choking under the grip of his powerful hand.

Conseil was already trying to unclasp the harpooner’s hand from his half-suffocated victim, and I was going to fly to the rescue, when suddenly I was nailed to the spot by hearing these words in French—

“Be quiet, Master Land; and you, Professor, will you be so good as to listen to me?”

It was the commander of the vessel who thus spoke.

Suddenly, light streamed into both sides of the salon, through two oblong openings. The liquid masses appeared brightly lit by electrical lights. Two crystal panes separated us from the sea... What a sight! What pen could describe it? ... we looked out as if this pure crystal were the glass of an immense aquarium.

the character names is one of the funniest things in 20kluts to me and it has no reason to be.

like take conseil: in the english version you just think ok that’s his name but like. it’s a french word. okay cool a lot of names are words. however the book itself was originally french. they are canonically speaking french throughout the whole thing. like imagine aronnax musing to himself like “hm. i must get advice for this matter” and conseil showing up in the room out of nowhere like “master called?” and then half the time his advice is just “I dont know I don’t really have a stake in this. check out this interesting fish.” it’s like having a character named hope and having the other characters talk about needing to have hope (concept)while hope (character) is standing right next to them.

and then we have ned land. the man who wants to get the fuck out of the ocean and back on solid ground. and his last name is land.

captain nemo is also funny but that one was chosen by him and he has reasons for it so like… it’s not as funny as the others ngl
