Description
My concept of the famous poets Vergil and Horace for my Roman webcomic. I'm plannig a comic strip with thes two.
They were best friends though different by nature.
Dumpish Vergil is quite hard to draw, but I am quite satisfied with the concept.
Horace's face and expression was more easy to draw. But dont'b be fooled by this smile and all that wine he is drinking. He is a very intelligent and profound man, too.
But chubby people aren't easy to draw. He looks a little like being pregnant, though some people really look like that.
To explain some of the sketches:
Vergil isn't feeling well, so he has wrapped a blanket around himself, and there he sits, suffering and feeling sorry for himself ....
Horace is worried about him.
Vergil is touched by his friend's worry, so he manages to show a little smile to him.
Do you know why there's a pig on the picture?

Throw in a Catullus who's prone to sudden and violent mood swings, and I'd be hooked!

Horace does look like he's got a beer gut but he still fits my mental image of him.
I've no idea why either animal is in the picture.

I guess you're right with the beer, I will try to draw a more ancient wine jar in the comic.
The little pig is one of the pictures Horace chooses for himself. *g* The swan he chooses for Vergil, for example. Well, I confess that that's more complicated.
Thanks for your comment!

Das Schweinchen ist ja süß xD Aber kA warum es da ist. Hat Vergil die Schweinegrippe?
Die Gesichter der beiden sind dir sehr gut gelungen. Freu mich schon auf den Comic.

Also Horaz nennt sich selbst ein Schweinchen aus Epikurs Herde ...
Er beschreibt sich auch immer selbst, als wär er hässlich wie die Nacht ... selbst Schuld. *g*
Mit dem Comic fange ich schon mal an. Ich bin selbst gespannt, wie er wird.
