I am now imagining Napoleon monkey hunting in America and eating coconuts to reflect on his past greatness

Napoleon Crossing the Alps , painted by me

Start Date: December 22, 2022 approx. 21" x 17" , acrylic + dry watercolour paint , on the back of a cardboard lego box

( art process + close ups + catpoleon in the keep reading )

Day 1 stuff

The idea actually started in my history class after my final exam, I sketched Napoleon Crossing the Alps in my history notebook and showed it to my teacher and he liked it so :D I also had a fever while painting this bc my immune system SUCKS but I'm okay now! ( i think?). Funny story, if you look at the picture of my art layout on my bedroom floor, the paints that I used were the watercolour tube thingies that you are supposed to mix with water but I thought they were acrylic so that's why it came out a different texture. So if you actually touch the painting, his face is softer than the rest of the painting, which is pretty cool thinking back on it. This was my first time painting so I didn't have a set up or anything so I just took the floor as a space :0) I also finished a base layer of paint the next day

Face close up

I'm actually really proud of the face because it somewhat resembles him... i think. The hardest part was the area around his eyes since the colour always came out too dark or too saturated and stuff. This was the part I used watercolour paint for on accident so I was able to just smooth it out with my fingers and I ended up practically finger painting the face. Also i practically bs-ed the nose and the mouth. I didn't know how to draw either of those things because my former art style was very anime inspired so I would just draw a line and call it a day. I still haven't gotten down how to draw a mouth or nose but it's fineeee

Shiny Jacket Things (idk what they're called)

THESE THINGIES ARE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE– literally in the painting, their location is kind of vague so I practically came up with my own pattern. I'm not even sure if I painted this correctly. I started with a yellow but it didn't look shiny enough. But literally a week later I found metallic acrylic paint which is AWESOME so I used a copper colour over the yellow and then added some white for the shine. If i ever paint Napoleon again I literally might just not paint these.

The Cockade

I'm actually really proud of this! This was on the day I found my metallic acrylic paint. I actually did each colour separately so I started with red, then blue, then white, then yellow. The hardest part was painting in the shadow of something that wasn't even on the canvas yet haha. Even though it's not shiny in the painting, i wanted to give it some luster to stand out against the plain black hat so I lightly went over some areas with my metallic paint :D

CATPOLEON >:D

I made the ears in the colours of the french flag on purpose hehe. So i was in my room doing homework and being bored and I thought to myself, what would cheer me up? And the little voice in my head said to put cat ears on Napoleon so I did it !

Final Thoughts: I think I did pretty well for my first painting! I had literally no idea what I was doing and honestly I think there's something wrong with my paint, but I literally got them at a craft store so that's probably why. Next time, I will not drink the paint water out of curiosity and I'm not gonna paint on the floor since I got paint on my floor. But overall, I'm proud of myself and that's what really matters :D hope you all like it too!

I drew young Napoleon because I am seeing the Ridley Scott movie tomorrow! (help I am terrified)

tried and failed with the jacobin micro-bangs but that's Napoleon's fault for having that hairstyle not mine okay.

Il neigeait. L'âpre hiver fondait en avalanche.

Après la plaine blanche une autre plaine blanche.

On ne connaissait plus les chefs ni le drapeau.

Hier la grande armée, et maintenant troupeau... ❄️

A drawing I made for a good friend of mine depicting Armand de Caulaincourt and emperor Napoleon during the tragic retreat of the Grande armée from Russia in the year 1812. 🇫🇷💔

...I have not spent a day without loving you; I have not spent a night without clasping you in my arms; I have not drunk a cup of tea without cursing the glory and ambition which keep me from the heart of my very being. In the midst of my activities, whether at the head of my troops or inspecting the camps, my adorable Josephine stands alone in my heart, she occupies my mind and fills my thoughts. If I depart from you with the speed of the rushing Rhone, it is only so that I may see you again more quickly. If I get up in the middle of the night to work, it is because this may hasten by some days the arrival of my sweet love...

--

This letter, the fifth which Bonaparte sent to his wife, was published for the first time in 1827 in the second volume of the Mémoires of a contemporary, Ida Saint-Elme.

Napoleon (2023)

🎬An epic that details the checkered rise and fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his wife, Josephine.

📝 I was looking forward to this and after reading a few reviews I went with very low expectations and even then I found this film to be a huge disappointment. First of all, Napoleon doesn't feel French at all, then, the two leads didn't have any chemistry so I didn't quite understand their "volatile" relationship, then the battles. I understand it's impossible to condense the 61 battles but the ones they did, they didn't feel like they gave much to the story. It was all over the place and everything felt randomly put together. So I think in this instance the vast majority of critics are right. It's a terrible film. AVOID

I think I invented a category of meme supplier. You've got your meme father who isn't necessarily someone who birthed the meme or created it, but is someone who finds the greatest memes and shares them. This could also be a meme mother depending on the circumstances. Then you have the obvious meme creator who are the tireless ones, the geniuses who create memes from their secret bunkers wherever they are gathering their humor and intellect to spread the gospel of memology across the social sphere. Then I think I have created what I call a meme chef. Which I have christened myself. I call myself a meme chef because I take memes that I usually find from the meme fathers and mothers or from meme craters on the social sphere and I dissect them not unlike a chef I used the ingredients within and I build on them bringing my own ingredients in to build on the humor like connecting other threads into what I see from the meme. Sometimes these threads connect in obvious ways and sometimes they do not hence the dissection. At times the references are like puffy little clouds of foam on top of an edible film that doesn't resemble the food it tastes like, not unlike what is found in molecular gastronomy. Yes I get the irony. I created the title meme chef and it's not unlike Napoleon crowning himself Emperor and also not unlike giving yourself your own nickname. Other people are supposed to do it, but I'm sticking to it. 😂
