Artist's Comments
This is Dead Head as Napoleon Bonaparte, from the painting by Jacques-Louis David (my favorite artist). Since
 's character is ageless, I wanted to project him into the painting I enjoy so much (can be found here : [link] )Sorry for the horse face, I've never drawn a horse before, but overall I am pretty happy with it. I drew him the way he is facing (backwards from the actual painting) because I didn't want it to be an easy tracing job, and it sure wasn't. I hope Jacky-Boy likes it. Pen and Colored Pencil, on white sketch paper, scanned. Based loosly on the painting "Le Premier Consul franchissant les Alpes au col du Grand-Saint-Bernard" (Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass) by Jacques-Louis David, 1800 |
