Description
Just some quick facial expression doodles and a costume detail for Sir Percy from the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel. Basically he is AWESOME. In order to throw off suspicion of his helping fellow English aristocrats escape the French revolution, he parades around England as a complete and utter twit, concerned only with fashion and "upholding the banner of beauty!" Plus, he rhymes the word "haberdashery" in a song.
I've also included two of my favorite lines. Enjoy!
Oh, and cravats = WIN

Ah, gads, the coat! 
"Frufrus! Frills! FAAAAAAABRIC!"
That was one of the best bits...and Chauvelin's line as he gets yelled at...
"How many geese did you catch?"
"ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE!"
"Oh. Well, good for you."
Love it!

Percy is badass. Only someone so badass can wear a coat like that and still be attractive.

"Merde! This man is a nincompoop!" will always make me laugh. I wish they'd do a direct translation into animation, especially in your style -- Percy's expressions are awesome.

Oh man, an animated Scarlet Pimpernel movie would be awesome! And I'm so flattered that you think it would be good in my style!

Thanks for the icon compliment. And Sills sure is! When I was in rehearsals for this musical, we would always look at his performances as inspiration.

You should actually see Douglass Sills perform the character, no one can do it better.
Here's the song "Creation of Man"
part 1 [link]
part 2 [link]
and then the bridge scene [link] with his wife, just skip ahead to the end of the song to get to the funny lines between him and the French official.
I hope you enjoy them!
