Getting to know my #SnakeAndDagger characters #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #drawing
roxyg100.bsky.social RoxyG100 @roxyg100.bsky.social · May 9
Some introductions. I have spoken of my trans character as they would have been referred to in their own era. #SnakeAndDagger #ConstantineGoodrow #AnnieFelter #LouisArmand ##LouisTheFrenchman
A page of drawings and text. The first picture is of a young couple. The taller person looks like a man, but is a woman dressed as a man, what we would call today trans masc. The smaller person is a pretty young girl with blond curly hair. This is an introduction page, where we learn about the characters in the story during a conversation between Stellan Holmgren and Tobias Smith. Stellan also mentions an important part of his back story, his time spent in Paris. The lower picture is of a handsome, brown haired man, with a sailing ship behind him. We are holding this is Louis The Frenchman, a deserted from Napoleon's navy. We are told he is good at different languages and accents.

I think I'm making this the first sheet of a story called 'The Rose of Jaipur' #SnakeAndDagger #StellanHolmgren

A bit of #SnakeAndDagger Saturday. A #WIP still on the pad. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it or not #StellanHolmgren #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #drawing
A coloured pencil drawing of a man standing in a castle dressed in a coat, britches and riding boots in the manner of a Georgian gentleman. We see him from the back, gazing out of a window at a pine forest in the background. To one side is a narrow spiral staircase, with just the first steps visible. At his other side, a brightly coloured tapestry adorns the wall. A text box in the lower section of the drawing states that the man's steward has passed away, which has brought the loss of others dear to him into his mind. He is lost in the past.

Some, not all, of my #SnakeAndDagger characters were based on real life actors. I thought it would be fun to do pencil portraits of some of them. Here is #LoganHillier, known as Istvan Toth from #kcd2, who inspired #NathanielTheScribe #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #drawing
A pencil portrait of actor Logan Hillier. He has steel grey, shoulder length hair, a beard and mustache.

Finally finished my last larger painting of the year (I think). It took ages, due to having a lot of boring house stuff to do. #SnakeAndDagger #StellanHolmgren #TobiasSmith #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #painting
A symbolist acrylic painting of two handsome men. The taller one has his arm draped over the other man's shoulder. The shorter man, Tobias Smith, has tight blond curls, and is surrounded by wheat and poppies. There is a lowly cottage in the background. The taller man, Stellan Holmgren, has sandy hair and a long face. There are Scottish thistles and delicate, tiny bell-like flowers (twin flower linnea) around him, representing both Sweden and Scotland. Behind him is the Scottish castle he lives in. Above their heads is a bought of ivy, denoting the loving, steadfast love they have for each other. There is a Maggie for Stellan the jewel merchant, and a Jay, the most colourful covid, for Tobias. In the centre is a dagger with a snake curled around the handle, for the Snake and Dagger organisation they belong to. They are dressed in Regency clothing. The background is gold.

I'm going to be a bit quiet on here. It will mainly be reposts while I colour and ink #SnakeAndDagger story #TheIdesOfMarch

Practicing some slightly wonky Georgian/Regency interiors. Perspective was never my strength. At least my #SnakeAndDagger characters might get a better class of lodgings #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt
A pencil drawing of a Georgian/Regency bedroom with a canopies bed and paneled walls.

Page 17 of #FamilyAffairs. The last page, but stay tuned for tomorrow's epilog #SnakeAndDagger #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #drawing #SilasCooper #MissMercy
A page of drawings and text. The upper drawing is a man's face. He is older, handsome, and has long, white hair (Silas Cooper). He is discussing why a woman called Belinda Wentworth was so upset when he and his partner, Miss Mercy, pretended to be ghosts the previous evening. Mercy says Belinda, her sister, was always afraid of ghosts, and thought them both dead. Silas complements her on her cunning, and kisses her.

A very playful rough sketch of a character called Tall Lucas from my Snake and Dagger stuff. I might try to develop this into something a lot better! #ArtYear #art ##SnakeAndDagger
A rough coloured sketch of a 18th century highwayman with long curly hair, pointing a musket at a coach in a densely wooded area.

Played around with this drawing of my character #StellanHolmgren. I've given him a whole room to look uncomfortable in, not just a chair #SnakeAndDagger #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt
A pencil drawing of a man sitting in a Georgian/Regency room. He sits in a curved back chair with one arm hanging down behind the chair back and the other in his lap. He looks ill at ease.

That time I painted my man #Silas and he came out looking like a film star #SnakeAndDagger #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt
An acrylic painting of a handsome, bare chested man with long grey-white hair. He is holding a sword, and looks worried Behind him is the ruined wall of what was once a building. It is autumn, and the trees are red and yellow as they lose their leaves.

Page 4 of #Jealousy Paris
#SnakeAndDagger #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #drawing #StellanHolmgren #TobiasSmith
A page of drawings and text. The picture shows Paris 1815, a maze of streets. There are two men close together from the back completely in shadow. The text shows the men, Stellan Holmgren and Tobias Smith, are weary having traveled to Paris, the last part of the journey from Rouen overland just completed. They have entered the house of Selbourne, a friend of Stellan's, where they will stay, sharing a room.

Tobias! #SnakeAndDagger #TobiasSmith #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt
A page of drawings and text. The text shows a plot to poison to make Sebastian Wells ill so he is detained in the country. They plan to blame a bad oyster for his sickness. The top picture shows an oyster. The main drawing shows Tobias poisoning the soup intended for Wells, made specially for him, as he cannot eat what the others are having.

Page 19 of #Superstition Tragedy #SnakeAndDagger #EdmundCornwallis #TheMerryWidow #GoronDenzel #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt #drawing
A page of drawings and text. The upper drawing is of a handsome, long haired man. He is Goron Denzel, and is talking to Cecilia Tregarron, also known as The Merry Widow. He is making romantic advances to her, which are not well received, as she both threatens to shoot him, and to tell his fearsome ex-pirate girlfriend. She tells him to concentrate on the job at hand. Suddenly, a man, Edmund Cornwallis emerges from the old mine entrance where they are waiting for him. He sees them and runs back into the mine. They start to follow him, but there is a terrible noise, as the roof of the mine collapses on top of him. All the knocking noises fall silent, and the reader is told they must decide if they were made by the impending roof fall, or the pixie-like beings, the knockers, who he had angered.
