Late to the game but I’m adding because why not.
62. Don’t ask Larrey why he came to the treatment he’s using on the wounded. It’s all the right things for all the wrong reasons.
63. It’s not worth being neutral. Believe me, cities have been bombed horrendously for being neutral. If you do plan on it doing it anyways, just beat the British to it and blow up your own ships.
64. If involved in an affair with the Danish king, don’t bother cheating on him or try to run off. You may get exiled. But why should you? He pays well, and any kids with the guy will live richly.
65. Don’t speak badly of religion or the monarchy in Denmark. You may find yourself permanently exiled.
66. Don’t ask the Danish monarch about the lack of mailboxes in his kingdom. Just don’t.
67. What happens Danish officer parties stays in the Officers parties.
68. Please don't put the French and Russian Peacocks in a room. we don't need to watch that.
69. If Larrey needs something, he will tell you, no matter the time it is or what you are doing.
Napoleonic War Survival Tips for the French Army
1. Don’t refer to Marshal Murat’s uniform as “peacock wear” within earshot of him.
2. When Napoleon pulls out a map, don’t ask, “Are we lost?”
3. If your cannonball doesn’t quite reach the enemy lines, just blame the wind. Or Berthier.
4. Don’t accidentally toast “To King Louis” at an officers’ dinner. Ever.
5. Avoid playing cards with Marshal Lannes – unless you enjoy losing your entire month’s pay.
6. Foraging in enemy territory: Always ask what’s in the stew before you eat it.
7. If you’re sent to negotiate peace, don’t open with, “Our emperor said this would be easy.”
8. During winter campaigns, remember: snowballs do not replace musket balls.
9. Don’t try to outdo Napoleon in recalling historical battles. You’ll lose.
10. If Napoleon is inspecting the troops, resist the urge to ask, “Is it true you’re shorter than Murat?”
11. Never, under any circumstances, suggest that Wellington’s redcoats “don’t look so tough.”
12. If Marshal Ney orders a charge, just assume it’s going to last until nightfall.
13. Do not ask Marshal Davout if his nickname Iron Marshal comes from his cooking.
14. If your bayonet charge fails, remember: retreat is just “advancing in the opposite direction.”
15. If someone says “This mission is simple,” expect nothing but complications.
16. In case of defeat, remember: it’s always the Austrians’ fault. Even if they aren’t there.
17. During peace negotiations, “bombing their latrines” is not considered a formal strategy.
18. If you happen to capture a British officer, refrain from gloating by saying, “See you in Paris!”
19. When bivouacked near rivers, don’t bet on crossing without some form of disaster.
20. Finally, do not point the cannons at the Emperor’s tent, even as a joke. Especially not as a joke.

Here’s some Ney art! I referenced so many Ney figures for these and now I desperately need one 🙏🙏.
And a quick Napoleon sketch I did during class! It was based off one of Edouard Detaille’s paintings.

Also, i made a napoleonic/history tiktok bc i wanted to keep my personal art separate: @/mokishark.
Tbh, idk why i made another one considering that i hate posting on tiktok, but this is literally my 6th tiktok acc ironically enough 💀. Not sure if I’ll be very active though, but i already created the acc so i might as well put out there.

I try not to idealize even my favorite historical figures. Especially if these figures are military men.
Tumblr media
Ney punished the Spanish guerrillas very cruelly during the Peninsular Wars, and this cannot be denied. So I wanted to draw this.
This does not mean that I do not like the historical figure I have chosen. Ney is a very important person for me, who has seriously influenced my life, but I try not to idealize him.

Done with this crap!
My very own marshal uniform for the Larp is ready (my character is based off Michel Ney). Enjoy the details:

The whole ordeal took two months. Would take more if I decided to go for historical accuracy (but I know how to do it now!)
It was a fun ride.

Portraits of some of Napoleon's Marshals I did this week to get back onto drawing. I'm trying to get back to digital drawing, therefore the style isn't very consistent since I'm looking for brushes I'm confortable with on CSP. And to be honnest, I really don't know what I'm doing ! I really don't know who I should do next, so I'm open for suggestions (PLEASE) :)

Oh, the things I would do for a Napoleonic themed fighting game...
Feel free to suggest some more characters in case I ever finish this. I was kinda running out of ideas 😅
