Description
You can see the lineart here.As stated in the description of the lineart, this was a project for my Socials Studies class. We had to come up with a political comic portraying a some kind of scene or event in the French Revolution.
I'm not actually completely satsified with this picture, but a lot of people at school were rather amazed, so I guess I'm pretty content. I realize their clothes and hair styles aren't really of the time...
Edit: I find it very strange that this is my most viewed deviation. It's definitely not my best.... Anyone understand this?

I like how angry the ladies are towards the monarchy. Β Have you ever done any follow up to this drawing. Β I would love to see them being confronted by three royalist women. good job

Good job, And yes I understand this.
Also the humor in this is great... I wonder where they hid the cake too, goodness that woman. Apparently she was so polite when she coincidentally stepped on the executioners foot on the way to her doom, she paused to apologize, I would have stomped on it a couple more times and then spat on his face. Like I hope most people would... well that's up to you.

Thank you so much.
That's pretty funny. She definitely sounds like quite the character.

Likely you have tagged it with commonly searched words. (I find that I get +favs mostly for fanart.)

wasn't it Anistasia's grandmother who, after being told that the people were complaining that they had no bread, said "Then let them have cake" or am I getting mixed up?

I think you're getting mixed up. I really don't know much about this subject, but my Socials teacher made a big deal out of how, "Let them eat cake" wasn't actually said; at least not by Marie Antionette. I think someone just decided to come up with that line.

Wow, now I wish MY history teacher knew squat about France.
reign of Terror, Right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, definitely during the reign of terror.

After the reign of terror, Napoleon came to power, tried to concor Moscow, came within sight of the city, and his troops froze, and that was around the time of the Student Revolutions?
Damn I ask a lot of questions!

As far as I know, Napoleon actually took Moscow, but it wasn't much of a victory.
Even though he entered Russia earlier, it wasn't till 1812 that Napoleon actually fought - before that, the Russians had a scorched-earth policy, burning everything as they went, so the French troops couldn't live off the land (which was one of the reasons that he lost so many men; they didn't have adequate supplies, they were starving).
The first real battle was at Borodino which is a little west of Moscow. Napoleon lost 30,000 troops and the Russians lost twice as many, which made it the bloodiest battle of the Napoleonic Era.
And THEN, the Russians started burning down Moscow, leaving Napoleon with poorly-provisioned troops in a burned city, with the Russian winter setting in. The tsar refused to make peace, so the French just kind of had to try and struggle their way home.
It was regarded as a defeat. Only 100,000 of the original 600,000 of his troops returned home.

Don't worry, I'm not a freak. I've got Kagan's "The Western Heritage" in front of me.

. . . cool, I thought that it was winter while they were marching to moscow.And they got in sight of red square (I think) and then they all froze and they had to march themselves back home to France.

I'm pretty sure Napoleon was way after the Reign of Terror. I don't think Napoleon got close enough to Moscow to actually see it, but many of his troops definitely froze to death. I don't know when the Student Revolutions were, and I just have a slight recollection of the idea. 
It's great you're asking so many questions, though I think you could have found someone better to ask. I really didn't pay attention to this stuff in class.

I love questions, I picked my sisters' and friends' brains clean with all of them. 
I thought he was in sight of Red Square, and that big red orb thing in top of a building, I forgot which one.

"The shame does not lie in not knowing, the shame lies in not finding out." That's a quote in the wall inside my school (though I probably butchered the exact wording). It's good you're so curious, but you've hit the end of my knowledge on this subject. It's possible he was insight of Moscow, but I think he got about halfway there, started to freeze, and then had to turn back. I don't know what Red Square is.... he could've seen it, for all that I know.

It is a very beautiful building. No wonder it's called Red Square.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's basic architectual design is a square.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, it's also very red.

Cool quote.
I on't know what Red Square is either, I asked my mom about it in the car one day and she mentioned Red Square in Russia.
