Mordecai And Rose. Pencil Drawing With Some Digital Color Toning. I Posted A Cropped Version Of This

Archibald Campbell The Ninth Earl Of Argyll is my 11th Great Grandfather. I found out through Ancestry. So cool to see a post about him! Saved this picture from the Ancestry app a few months ago.

Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll was born on February 26th 1629 at Newbattle Abbey near Dalkeith.

Campbell was an energetic supporter of the royalist cause during the 1650s. His father was executed for treason in 1661, and although he was imprisoned, the new earl was released and restored to his titles and estates.

A member of the Scottish Privy Council and an Extraordinary Lord of Session,he was condemned to death in 1681 on a highly dubious charge of treason and libel, he escaped from prison in an almost comical way, that any fool could have saw through, leading me to believe that the guards were possibly bribed.

His daughter-in-law, Lady Sophia Lindsay, obtained permission to visit him in his confinement. She brought with her a servant who, she claimed, had recently been in a rather serious fight, resulting in severe facial injuries. That of course explained the bandages in which his head was entirely swathed, completely obscuring his identity. If you can see where this is headed, you are more astute than the entire garrison of Edinburgh Castle! The naïve-seeming scheme was to have Campbell swap clothes and wigs with the servant, wrap his head in bandages, and simply walk out of the building with Lady Sophia after her visit.

The Lady, demonstrating what must have been Oscar-worthy acting ability, left Campbell's quarters in floods of tears, and was escorted by her "servant" back to her coach. Outside, Campbell ingeniously climbed onto the back of the coach rather than into it, preventing anyone from realising that he was a member of the aristocracy by proving that he could maintain a grip on a moving vehicle. Once outside the Castle's bounds, he slipped quietly off down an alleyway to a friend's house, from which he was smuggled under the name "Mr Hope" down to London.

After his escape, the Earl disappeared for much of his remaining life. Naturally, as a fugitive (and now actively engaged in resistance to the coming succession of James), his location was kept a closely guarded secret, although a few letters revealing his general location and activities remain.

However, he returned to Scotland in style in April 1685, at the head of an invading army supporting the Monmouth Rebellion against James II/VII (who had taken the throne in February, following Charles II's death). He made several raids, which varied in success between "fleeting" at Inverary and "utterly pointless failure" at Greenock.

His forces gradually dwindled until he was left with only his son John and three friends. After being refused shelter by an old servant, they were arrested in June 1685.Campbell was immediately re-tried and sentenced to die exactly as his father had, beheaded at the Mercat Cross in Edinburgh twelve days after his arrest. Surprisingly, he was again allowed a visit by his wife and daughter-in-law prior to his execution, although this time there was presumably someone on hand to check that neither of the ladies leaving the premises after their visit were other than they appeared.

I haven't 2D animated in a minute, so I made some small walk cycles of the hospital crew for fun ^^

My two last neurons, I love them dearly

Here’s some drawings that I did a while back of my OC, Arthur McBride. The cartoon with his name as the title was the first cartoon that I stuck with for years. My style for these characters used to be different years ago, but I think this midcentury modern one was an improvement.

Anyway, this series was based on an actual Irish folk song about a man named Arthur McBride and his cousin who are confronted by a Sergeant of The British Army who ended up trying to force them to enlist. The song ended with a cliffhanger, but I thought hey, what if The Sergeant did end up forcing them into the Army and then Arthur tries to get The Sergeant to boot him out by driving him insane.😆 I then ended up adding a couple more friends for him, a rival, and added more to the stories as well. I originally had them in an all cartoon animal universe, but then I changed it, and now there are humans in the universe as well.

This is a drawing I did not too long ago of the main trio of a 1960s themed cartoon segment I came up with called The Mod Trio. The nutty, tea crazed squirrel is Greg Buxton, the moody mole and un-proclaimed leader of the trio is Chad Chadwick and the shy, soft spoken cat in the kilt is Alistair Duncan. He’s the only one out of the three who’s Scottish, the other two are British.

Posted a colorized version and a black and white version, which I made by using a filter.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers out there!💐

This year I decided to draw the mothers of my main characters from The Fantasy Five. From left to right are Wizard’s(Jack’s) Mom, Mrs. Hershkowitz, Leprechaun’s(Logan’s) Mom, Mrs. Maguire, Dragon’s(Ryan’s) Mom, Mrs. Barry and Goblin’s(Brian’s) Mom, former Mrs. O’Callaghan(she’s divorced, not sure what her maiden name is).

I didn’t draw Gryphon’s(Sam’s) mother because she is deceased in the series. I still want to draw what she looked like someday.

Anyway, hope everyone who is celebrating and/or remembering their mothers today has a blessed one!
