Before Trafalgar
As you noticed I have been experimenting with a new drawing style. I found inspiration in 1700s and 1800s coloured drawings and I used your requests as an inspiration. Thank you!
Here we have the results - Horatio Nelson in his HMS Victory cabin. I have visited HMS Victory last Friday and I loved it. Then I saw my partner standing there, listening to their audio guide… so I grabbed the pose and used it as a reference.
Nelson’s features are based on his life mask so I’m very satisfied with the accuracy of the picture!

Was reading about Horatio Nelson (as one does) and came across quite a few articles that discuss him as a figure made famous both by bravery in battle and by bravery in the face of medical/surgical suffering. It's interesting how connected those two concepts were in naval history especially in the age of sail. It's probably obvious that they would be connected. Naval vessels in wartime were incredibly dangerous and violent and also had all their medical necessities on board - right there for when they would inevitably be needed.
And I am feeling Something (?). Possibly it's horror at the violence of empire and Nelson's role in perpetrating it all while suffering himself (empire vampirizing its young). Or possibly it's a sort of fellow feeling because, yeah, man, medical suffering does suck and it's nice to have that recognized in a way that feels mostly not patronizing.
