Musketeer study – WIP

by Alex Ledante February 23, 2019, 3:36 am 242 Views 14 Votes 36 Comments

When I was a child, in addition to loving the 1001 Arabian Nights I was a huge fan of the Musketeers. My father got me the book and then the Salkind films, which influenced my fantasy world greatly

#1 work in progress

and here is that badboy from Gascony, none other than d'Artagnan himself!

future revisions will include long hair and a nice parisian background...

I don’t think I could ever pull off wearing an outfit like this

  outside of Halloween, nobody has dressed like that for about four centuries…

        Was it for Halloween or daily wear?

While they don't feature prominently in my work, these swashbucklers are never far from my heart

In certain combinations, the outfit will match the costume rockers we like in their time.

  try as I might, I can’t recall any bands who dressed like the musketeers

    Indeed, there are no bands who dressed like them, but the exploration of special fashion for rockers is very high since the 70s and 90s. From the Beatles to Yngwie Malmsteen, often using clothing with a classic touch, although it is not a musketeer.

      Yngwie? I haven’t heard of him in decades, but he was a rising force to be sure

He is cute but yes, long hair in pony tail will make him cuter. I watched the movie and I am sure I read the book but it was eons ago.

    In pony tail, hey ???. Because it is just so cool. Can he wear one earring too? ? No need to boost my posts here on Virily. I am reading your post and that of Della, Kim and Carol as support to Doc’s call to revive the community. Too, I read Doc’s, of course, coz he is one of a kind supportive friend and Albert’s coz I enjoy exchanging discussion about similar topics we like.

        Is D’Artagnan immune from evolution? Anyway, I was thinking of Johnny Depp when I wrote my comment ?

  It surely did! I think Dumas was a brilliant author, and not just because we have the same first name…

Excellent Musketeers .. I do not know if they had long hair or is it in my imagination

  I think everyone had long hair back in the day, unless they were bald

Perfect. I agree to have longer hair. Musketeers also had a cloak, so you might add that detail …

  he may not be a musketeer yet, but yeah, that’s something I am thinking about

Very realistic rendering of famous musketeers. Cannot wait to see the finished product or rather picture.
