Fanart: Alexander and Companions

[joyeee]

Summary: Alexander and a number of his Companions; heavily manga-influenced.
Rating: Suitable for all ages. Again, very, very fluffy...
Tools: Pencils, pens, Photoshop.
Source: This idea came up while I was working on the comic. (Couldn't leave Hephaestion under that pile of cold symptoms, with Alexander so ready to charge off all by himself!) Also

Absolutely priceless! And what a lot of effort you have put into this! And you have made Alex's hair "fair" in the ancient sense - reddish - squeals!.......

I agree with others - the A/H one is SUPERB! That is exactly what they were - blithely steam-rolling their way across the lands and conquering all and sundry. I love A's breastplate and the bundle of scrolls underneath H's arms.

As for the Companions, I can clearly make out Cleitus, Craterus, Nearchus, Eumenes (is he the one almost buried under scrolls?), Ptolemy. Not sure about the others. Who is the one with the sun hat?

Happy Chinese New Year, Joyeee!

You are right about Eumenes (another clue is him looking toward the tents - I hope the burning is conveyed ok?). The others: Harpalus, Philotas (with Craterus glaring at him), Leonnatus (happy with his muscles and his wagon of sand), Seleucus, Peucestas, Perdiccas - though I think Perdiccas, unfortunately, can only be guessed by process of elimination.

I'm so glad you like Alexander's hair! (There's a particular sun-gilt appearance I wanted to give it which I didn't get 100% here - but, that's room for improvement next time!) Thanks so much for mentioning the breast plate :D and the scrolls. And again, I'm absolutely delighted that you can see something in it beyond only the visual - I mean how they were steam-rolling across the world, and blithely, yes! That was pretty much what I had in mind for this, esp. for A&H.

Gong xi fa cai (Congratulations, and best wishes for your prosperity) in the New Year!

Wonderful drawings. I'll try to recognize each one all by myself: it's like a game. Alexander and Hephaistion are incredibly cute together - as always. Thanks a lot. Michela.

[joyeee]

Glad you can have some fun with this! ^___^ (P.S. I'll be happy to point out any ones that aren't clear, if you like!)

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
*silly grin*

I'm totally taken by manga style drawings. Even more when they are so cute and lovely made by someone as talented as you.

Love it. The friends are so cute and filled with details... great work. ^.^

*hugs*
:D

[joyeee]

So pleased that you like it! ^_____^ Thanks so much!

By the way if you like manga-style drawings, I'd be happy to send you some fanart I've found over the years for Lord of the Rings! (Legolas especially, hee!) Just let me know if you'd like, and I'll send some by lj email or however you prefer!

[teamane]

Really?!!!!!! O.O
Thank you so much!

Me too, I've been colecting everything I find in the internet about LOTR (Aragorn and Legolas, mainly) and I absolutly LOVE all Manga style fanart I found.
I love the ones made by Tien (I miss her sooooo much, I'm worried about her absence at LJ - 10th_1216 has the cutest chibi ones I ever saw ^.^) like the one on my icon.
We could trade! *grin*
my email is teamane7@yahoo.com
