Description Also known as : Farewell, my dear friend.

*Cries*


I do not own Claude Frollo ( pity), I do not own his horse ( though I've named him Bucephalus in "Breaking Horses", which suits him a little better than Snowball...

Nor do I own Jeremy Irons. Pity. Again.


Whew!

Labour of love, and a labour of sadness. I'm gearing up to write this scene in my story soon, and I can tell you know, it will not be a happy scene.

Please, please please, tell me what you think? Your comments are worth so much to me.

I never thought that this guy could look hot but I gotta admit that I was wrong. Great work! This is sad and touching drawing but I really like it, the horse looks very realistic!!

Bee-youuu-Tee-Fully touching. Excellent use of black. Great horse head & great...everything!

I'm guessing by now you know Tony Kay gives Frollo his voice ... though I appreciate that _you_ appreciate Jeremy Irons as well! I'm actually working on a cracktastic crossover where Frollo meets the Borgias right now, & I usually hate crossovers. Yep, call me a hypocrite cos' that's what I am...

The interaction between Frollo and Esmeralda is more interesting as well as with the horses. I think almost a metaphor for their relationship.

So funny in bunches in both as wild horses.

Howlingmojo In reply to NatCorsaria [2011-12-15 12:37:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you are spot on about this observation of yours. I really feel that writing for these two is like peeling apart the layers of an onion: layer after layer. And with them? I just want to dig deeper. Plus I am a really big sucker for symbolism. Frollo is quite the horse-master, but we'll have to see if Esmeralda is the wild filly he thinks she is...

I love your designs and love that you also see a great potential for the character. He has so much hidden in his words and actions and I like to think of a second chance for him.

Love he's horse

haha, yeah, I was never fan of feeble.. err.. fibble, umm.. fobble.. ergh.. I mean phoebus.. not to mention John Smith.. .. maybe I just don't like blonde men ??.. *shrugs*.. though I do have a crush on Miguel from the road to el dorado.. ( I think Altivo is Achilles half brother or something )

though I would have been cool if Achilles was named Apollo (who is also a sun god)

In my thinking . "Phoebus" translates to doofus in my thinking

Howlingmojo In reply to Starlioness [2011-11-18 12:12:15 +0000 UTC]

Well, to be honest, his character in the Disney is't as bad as it is in the book, but I mainly see him as an "obstacle". So he has to go. He's bad news.

I'm keeping Achilles in my story ( don't know If you've read it )

He's been adopted by the Palace's stables, due to maltreatment from his former owner...

I have gushed unashamedly about this on LJ. Your skill level is just going through the roof. I know you are not looking forward to writing this, but the love and the beauty of both animals is breathtaking. I love this more than any other Frollo art so far, and that is damn well saying something, because I adore everything you do, Mosey. This just surpasses everything. Every time I look at this, I think: why is this talented girl not making a living from her awesome talent?

Howlingmojo In reply to TeddyRadiator [2011-11-14 09:56:04 +0000 UTC]

Haha, both animals, Teddy called Frollo an animal ( true though)!

I love you for this, dear.

And THAT? Is a very good question. I'm in an unfortunate financial situation at this point in my life too and I would love to be able to make some money by selling my arts, or working with commissions.

Big question however is: How much does one ask for a piece of art? Considering the materials spent and the time, and additional shipping etc etc. I really don't know!

TeddyRadiator In reply to Howlingmojo [2011-11-14 22:22:09 +0000 UTC]

Well babe, I would, at the very least, make your works available here as various sizes of prints. That's one good way of 'dipping your toe' into the well, and dA will print it for you. I don't know how much an artist gets here for their prints, but it might get some revenue started. I have purchased prints from dA in the past, and they are of a very high quality.

what I Love most of about "Bucephalus" is that he's one of Disnehy
s most badass horses.. don't know why he's dying though.. I feel bad for poor achilles though.. since Frollo's horse outshines him by a mile..

and whoa .. Frollow with no shirt .. mmm.. ;
