After reading the first 6 chapters Robespierre: The Force of Circumstance, I'm beginning to realize just how unhappy Maximilien was. I already knew he wasn't the happiest of gentleman, but wow, this guy was just surrounded by real "downers."

As I was reading, I was also drawing the picture for the "Foreign" theme for the 100 challenge. Robespierre's expression slowly changed from confused and indifferent to sufficiently pissed. I also began to base him off of my favorite painting of Maxime ([link]) hence the different clothing and delightfully fluffy wig.

You'll probably notice there are parts of his clothing that are a tad-bit crooked. This is done on purpose because in this picture he's walking at a very quick pace.

Because this picture is part of a much bigger one, Maximilien is not quite finished. I liked how he looks now, and decided this would be my DeviantID. By tomorrow or the next day, the picture should be finished completely, and he'll look a lot better. (Complete with background and stalker!) I will probably not be coloring the finished work. We'll see.

[His lower half may not be so great, but good God, I'm loving his top half. Like, a little too much.]
