Some old funny illustrations that I’ve probably already shared

Okay since there’s been a resurgence of interest in the Napoleonic Wars, my old content was constantly reposted so I thought I shall show you the deepest parts of the fandom:

BEHOLD THE LORDS—

Art evolution over 2020

Thanks to our love towards the marshals we have created this humble fandom on tumblr and I have been drawing the marshals since.

And I guess my style just changed dramatically over months comparing to when I first drew Ney in January lol (To be honest, me getting into the marshals was all because an accident of agreeing to attend a witchcraft bootcamp in September 2019 😂😂😂)

As you also see, my style of cupcake lord has changed from the classic laser eye in May to the star eye holy boi in December (actually I did not draw much this month, just mainly keeping on deadlines and busy looking for things to entertain myself this Christmas since I’m stuck in Sheffield :p).

Another particular thing that I love to draw are long-haired men like Bessières, Desaix, Larrey and Augereau—just love drawing flowing floofy hair in general🥺 (even though drawing Murat’s hair was a pain because I will never master at this ;-;)

November illustration is me and Ney :3

It’s Bessières deathday today but let’s turn it into something happier...

HAPPY CUPCAKE LORD FEAST DAY

[elisabeth515]

Sorry I was super bored that I just draw stuff to encourage me to read my big stack of Napoleonic biographies🌚

🧁Happy birthday Bessières🧁

This.

I guess I’ve taken an hour at least to do this (find references + drawing this)

And this is Bessières as Josuke Higashikata from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable because tbh cupcake lord suits him

Bonus: T-posing cupcakes

(Also I changed Bessières’ design a bit since I figured out that I should add him a little ponytail :3)

I’m so proud of drawing Cupcake lord on Christmas card envelopes 🥺

Alright I did a thing when I was trying to draw Bessières properly

Here’s Bess the aggressive cupcake for y’all ÒwÓ

Like his wife, Bessières was liked for his frankness and generosity. Remaining on good terms with all his colleagues, with the noticeable exception of Lannes, he was not a very great captain, but an intrepid and indefatigable horseman, impetuous and magnificent leader of men. He leaves behind the unanimous memory of an attractive man, a courageous soldier, an excellent husband and father, a reliable friend. After the Empire, in homage to his probity and his disinterestedness, the Emperor of Austria will give his young widow an annuity of 20,000 francs in compensation for the loss of her income from the Duchy of Istria.

This shows the notoriety and the reputation left by this true gentleman to whom Napoleon will pay homage at Saint Helena: "Bessières was, at the same time as a man of war, a gentleman and honor in person. He was of a cold bravery, calm in the midst of  fire. Unlike Murat, Bessières was a reserve officer, full of vigor, but prudent and circumspect.”

From his last exile, a grateful Napoleon undertakes to settle the debts of his companion who died poor. In his will, he will also bequeath 400,000 francs to the young Duke of Istria, as the son of his "best friend".
