As much as I despise this historical character, I respect him, and your work is wonderful. Deserve a fav! :D

Thank you so much!
Im sure you are right to say he was in a way despicable for all the cruelties he had done. Then again, it was a revolution, which is never peaceful, and who knows how it would have affected entire Europe if there hadnt been such a terrifying fight for democracy. Possibly not at all and we'd still be starving farmers paying taxes to some narcisst king :roll:

I've always loved this picture and the historical and religious symbolism in it, as much as I loathe the character.

Very well done.

I guess the terror and violence was in a way necessary for the development. But of course, what they did was horrible and I'm sure they crossed the line at some point.

Thanks for the comment! :)

Die Licht/Schatten- Verläufe sind dir echt super gelungen!
Ich kann nicht mal schattieren, am Schluß sieht das bei mir immer alles aus wie graue Soße, von schwarz bis dunkelgrau weil ich keine weißen Stellen übrig lasse und zu lange dran feilen will... (Von den richtigen Proportionen darstellen mal ganz zu schweigen!):blahblah:

Echt? Danke :)
Hast Du auch Zeichnungen? Ich glaub ich muss mir Deine Galerie nochmal ansehen!
:icondosi1:
lol, nein, ich hab keine Zeichnungen, genau aus dem Grund... :D
Ich hab zwar Zeichnungen machen müssen, aber keine dA-verwertbaren rausbekommen. Oder wer will schon ne gezeichnete Brezel in einer aufgerissenen Brottüte sehen?? :P

Ich. Eine Brezel auf einer aufgerissenen Brottüte ist ja geradezu Magritte-esque! :) "Das ist keine Brezel..."
