PIC: Zoomorphic Revolutionaries

Yes, yet another joke on Thermidorian propaganda. I promise to post the other two Vampire Hunter Rousseau pictures soon, they're more interesting. ^^;; [livejournal.com profile] maelicia and I were talking about various depictions of revolutionaries in Thermidorian propaganda, and the popular description of Maxime as a cat came up.

I commented that it's a good thing no one who had read that particular story had then gone onto a career in anime, or else we'd be faced with catboy!Robespierre and other such things...

Inevitably, I actually did draw it. ^^







I'm contemplating continuing this, because it takes me about two minutes to do each one. Any ideas? Snake!Marat? Something for Saint-Just? And what is Camille - some sort of pigeon???

Suggestions welcome, please. Accuracy to Thermidorian preferred for the joke value, but not required. ^__^

I got mine online a couple of years ago; I forget exactly where. I don't typically buy things illegally either, so I unfortunately wouldn't know where to point you for that either. My version has the visuals, the libretto, and the music, because I actually bought the physical CDs.

I'm thinking of posting an analysis of some of the more unfortunate changes made in it for the English version, if that's of any interest, though of course it would be sans music (though not necessarily sans images).
