Description Um, I suppose. Lame title. I have been drawing a lot of him. Bagoas is in my comic Alexandros at [link] if anyone cares to look.

This is incredibly close to the Bagoas I had in mind while Reading Mary Renault's "The Persian boy". Great pose, great anatomy (The hands, wow!). Overall an awesome drawing!

LMAO! Draw? By studying, my dear!! I've been doing this for awhile. So let's see, I've been drawing since I could remember, seriously started in 6th grade... I was... 12? So, I've had a good 7 total years of REAL experience.

Also, Greek art and nude life drawing sessions helped a lot.

Then I have been doing everything right.
Your comic is great. I've read through it. Ah, Bagoas.

Thanks!! I'm so very glad you liked it. I REALLY need to update though. I have so many new inked pages to scan and no time to do it. So, that is the tragedy of having no interent at home. It's a pain to transfer pages on floppies from home to work... *sigh*

I want more of it. So addictive.
Do you have a banner for it? I am doing a website design as a project and I have a links page, and I wanted to put up Alexandros as one of them....

Thank you so much. These things are harder to find that it seems.

I inspire? Wow. Never done that before. Glad to help.

Beautiful! Is this shaded with a pen? I see hatching lines in the shadows--but only when I pause and think to look. The hands in this picture are particularly well-done, and I really love the technique of 'soft shadows' you've done using the hatching. That shadow on his abs, in particular. A very attractive character, Bagoas. Hehe.

Hah, He SHOULD be attractive. That's what his career depends on.

Nah, Seriously. Bagoas was a real historical figure... a Persian Eunuch that was lover to Alexander the Great. I'm doing a graphic novel that tells the last seven years of Alexander's life from his Perspective, based off of the book by Mary Renault. He's such a ridiculously obscure figure that you can do so much and still stay within historical realism. The Persian Boy portrayed him as a constant victim that only means well, when in reality, he was a conniving, plotting, scheming person with some agenda that we'll never know. I intend to show him for what he was... which is essentially an evil, vindictive little meddling brat.

Now you know who he is!

Threshie In reply to rubeuswagner [2006-10-18 01:55:36 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe...actually, believe it or not, I've read some of your journal entries and replies to other people's comments on your pics and such, and so I knew you were creating this graphic novel and that he belonged to it. I think it's an awesome project--I love it when fiction can creatively integrate things from real life without making the story SEEM like a history textbook.

I always research things like medical treatments for injuries my characters get in my stories, or how to change a tire, if the characters have t, just so that I can write it perfectly factual so that if anybody checked to see if it was right, they would find that it was. And I learn a lot of really interesting abilities this way, too!

As for Bagoas being an evil, vindictive little meddling brat...LOL...I find tat characters are a lot more interesting to the reader when they're kept a bit unpredictable and allowed to have their own unclear agendas. Whenever your graphic novel comes out, I'll buy a copy!

Aw, Sweet! Don't worry, I'll be scanning and working on getting the pages for issue one fine tuned for publishing. I had a deadline with a Greek company (hah, funny coincidence), but I missed it and have heard nothing since. So I may publish on my own. In any case, I totally agree with you on the studying stuff thing. It kind of goes hand in hand with trying to make a "manga" based in Japanese real life when you know nothing about it.

Oh yeah? Bagoas doesn't really have an agenda, so to speak. He's just nuts. XD

XD Hey, I said 'unclear agenda'--insane people's agendas are very difficult to make out, but are agendas nonetheless! ....Even if the person doesn't even remember they're own agenda half of the time!
