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. ^__^

Nooo. It doesn't show up! D:

I'm thinking toad!Marat; he was referred to as such at one point, though I don't remember where. Saint-Just would have to be something icy... I always picture animal!Camille as a rather excitable puppy - though, of course, the Thermidorians didn't dislike him in particular. But let's not forgot Couthon the Bloodthirsty Tiger, while we're at it.

Hahaha 'Dogton' is inexplicably hilarious to me. And Citizen Catspierre is adorable despite himself. XD

I read once that Camille's nose looked like a camel's hump on his face. Therefore my vote is for Camelle Desmoulins.

.....I have died from the cute of Catspierre. ;_;

These are all so cute. ;_; And Um. You should continue, but I have ho ideas as to how.

Aww, hee. XD Catspierre looks so enthralled with his orange.

I confess to reading all the other comments, haha, Marat was compared to so many animals you really have a zoo to work with, haha! I can't wait to see what you pick! I can't wait to see more, these are really cool!!
