Wolfe and Dog

Description

My favorite general, James Wolfe, with a doggy friend. Apparently, he loved dogs. Who doesn't?

Anyway, I am in love with Wolfe's unusual profile (people at the time said his face looked like a triangle on its side). Nice. He was also extremely thin and rather tall (I think a fellow officer observed that Wolfe looked like a walking skeleton). Poor Wolfe was sick most of the time he was in Canada, which probably didn't improve his appearance. At any rate, he certainly made a great subject to draw--when I saw a model in a Land's End catalog wearing a dress that looked like Wolfe's uniform, I *had* to doodle this guy. (I'm not sure if the general would approve that a dress resembled his uniform, but it worked out.)

Yay someone else loves General Wolfe too ^^

And I'm not just an obsessive stalker that will one day dig up whatever is left of Wolfe's corpse and steal his head what no

Yeah, doing caricatures and drawings of him are ridiculously fun; it's like a stickman with oomph. And an oddly-shaped head. Most of mine are based off of the ones by George Townsend. They're so beautiful XD
