Allen Leech's characters : Agrippa vs Tom Branson

Allen Leech is a beautiful and talented actor who played in two famous TV series : ROME (2007) and DOWNTOWN ABBEY (and the movies). The characters are from different historicals periods : Roman Republic during Antiquity (ROME) and 1912-1929 (DOWNTON ABBEY).

Marcus Vispanius Agrippa isn't very noble but thanks to his cleverness and bravery, he becomes a general under Octavian's orders. In the tv series, he is the best friend Octavian/Octavius (futur first Roman Emperor). As a master, I think Agrippa would be not too authoritarian, but just confident enough to make you obey without hesitation.

Tom Branson is an Irish republican man who is hired at Downton Abbey to be a driver. What's interesting is that Tom comes from being a servant to having one, so he's never disrespectful towards his friends who are now his inferiors.

Their love stories are very important because it changes their destiny but not their personality. If Marcus Vispanius Agrippa is a real person, Tom Branson is a fictional character. In both cases, it's a secret love before it's revealed to their relatives, and in both cases Allen Leech's characters are in love with a woman who superior in rank to them.

Agrippa, in ROME, falls in love with Octavia, Octavian/Octavius's older sister. He is really protective towards her, and it's a forbidden love : even though we doesn't see them a lot together, this couple is really cute.

Tom Branson falls in love with Lady Sybil Crawley, who at first doesn't share his feelings because he is older, Irish, poor, republican, her dad's employee... But their love story is really moving, because it's the proof that even though you are completely different from the person you love, you can complete each other 😊

I've putted links of edit of the two love stories because that may makes you wants to watch the TV series, without too many spoilers 😁

So now that you know a little bit more about the two characters (and if you knew them before, don't hesitate to share your opinion on them in comments or by messages 😉), here is my question :

I've talked about Marcus Agrippa here 😊

Have you ever drawled the princes in the tower? I would love to see your interpretation of them! Thank you!

Hello! ^_^

I have not made any visual representation of the Princes in the Tower until this moment. Of course, considering my personal projects - the historical portrait project and the artist book - that I am working on, they will also appear, without a doubt. The only uncertainty is the timing, because I have no idea about them at the moment. But when I get a broader picture of them and what I want to convey through their illustration, they will be found in the projects mentioned above.

Thank you!

William Lamb looks oddly familiar...

Link to Melbourne's Wikipedia

One of the historical characters we have in Ballad of Avaritia is William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne (15 March 1779 – 24 November 1848), a former Home Secretary and two-time Prime Minister in office from 1835 - 1841.

And honestly? The more you look at Melbourne... doesn't his portrait look oddly familiar?

Fanart of Hugo and Maria (characters by @owlexarts) which is a DTIYS entry on Insta

This is inspired by some b&w Doctor Who episodes/serials (specifically Troughton era)

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.

I started drawing the Ever After High girls in random historical fashion eras… why? I have no idea

Raven Queen in 1890s, Apple White in Italian Renaissance.

Briar Beauty in 1920s, Madeline Hatter in 1880s

No particularly reason for the eras, just the vibe I get from the characters and their designs!

Celebration

This is a thread to celebrate them Them. Liesel and Sigmund

We are celebrating real hard because we love a stupid blonde who would pickpocket men in bars as her job and we also love the cold but flustered around charismatic women agent dude

Liesel is the type of a girlie to mess up everything and Sigmund is supposed to fix it (with a gun)

She's an orphan scared of rain and he's a son of a rich manufacturer whose worse let's make a public pool!

And our beautiful silly woman but its an old drawing that I found and coloured today

Let's celebrate hard
