Description This is a test page for a project I am currently working on; a comic about Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, a lawyer's son from rural Pau who became a marshal i Napoleon's army and eventually became Sweden's king under the name Karl XIV Johan. The current royal family are descendants of Bernadotte.

You can read more about Karl XIV Johan on wikipedia:
[link]

With this page I was just trying out drawing the main character, clothes of the period and various scenes from the main characters life that I expect will be in the comic.

The script for this comic will be written by Maria Bergström, who also wrote "little Selma from Mårbacka" [link] . The comic will be published by Kultur-Poolen.
The comic will be coloured by !

I'm trying to put more effort into designing character's faces and giving them individuality.

well...Danish is the easiest for me to read, but when spoken, sweedish is a lot more understandable! XD

Aeonna In reply to dark-elf-girl [2010-02-05 11:51:28 +0000 UTC]

I can almost read Danish because it is similar to Swedish, but when spoken I can hardly understand it at all.

Heh, it somewhat amuse me that some countries stay loyal to dynasties that are not indigenous.

Aeonna In reply to briantk2003 [2009-08-01 18:47:20 +0000 UTC]

I am not sure whether I know of any dynasty that is indigenous. At least not originally, but I suppose that after 200 years you have to accept them as part of the nation. It seams unfair otherwise - for other people it only takes a change of passport to take on a new nationality.

I've tried to be accurate - I've looked at uniforms from the Napoleonic wars, read two biographies and skimmed through some books about the French revolution - but it is so difficult and I know there must be plenty of things I've missed!

Well as far as i'm concerned it was pretty spot on
