There stands Jackson like a stone wall!

More drawings! This time I did a couple of portraits of two Civil War Confederate generals. I am rather fond of both Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and JEB Stuart, and since my brother is also a huge Civil War buff, and just happened to have magazines with good photographs of them on the covers, I decided to draw from them.

Warning! Fairly large images behind the cut.

Thank you! Jackson's turned out the best, I think, but I'm glad you like them. :-D And thanks for the permission!

Oh yay, thank you!! *clicks* Hmmm, I think he looks an awful lot like JEB -- the shape of the eyes are the same, especially. What fun and what an honour to represent such great figures in history like that...

Now that I compare him to photos of Stuart, I do see the resemblance, but I was thrown by the age difference (the reenactor is probably in his late 40s), and his beard wasn't as full this weekend.

I wonder if I would have spotted him or not. Probably not!! lol.

Maybe he was hot and got it trimmed. ;-D
