Hello Hamino! Quill here! So early this month I ed in the Queen Challenge and got the character of Hercules Mulligan to draw. With some deliberation, I decided that the song “ I Want To Break Free “ from the band was a great fit for him. This drawing is supposed to be him in his tailor shop, decidedly pissed of working like this day in day out, and wanting to be free of British rule. This entire scene springs from his lines
“ Yo, I’m a tailor’s apprentice
And I got y’all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I’m ing the rebellion ‘cause I know it’s my chance
To socially advance, instead of sewin’ some pants
I’m gonna take a shot”
This entire drawing took 2:30 hours, 45 to sketch and the rest coloring and editing
Hope you enjoy!
Final
Working on it

Try and
The AMC Series:
“Turn Washington’s SpIes”!
You’ll see the historical Hercules Mulligan. He really put himself on the line for The Culper Spy Ring. Without THEM(?)
There would have been no USA

You won’t until season 4. He’s in a spot where he has to protect one of THE most valuable of The Culper Spy Ring:
Robert Townsend. Townsend tended bar at “the place to be”..
(THE gathering place for all of the British Officers in New York!)
Townsend received the intelligence from Abe Woodhull, Caleb Brewster, Sarah Strong, and the yet un named Agent 355.
Their childhood buddy (and ALEXANDER’S “right hand man”),
Major Benjamin Tallmadge. Herc ed on the intelligence:
The Culper Ring risked their lives to get it to him.
This is amazing!
Sooo what program do you use?
I use the art app “sketches”
