The Sergeant & the Black Ghost of Las Almas

Being the Frontispiece of, The Sergeant & the Black Ghost of Las Almas. — or, Friendship Assured, between a Lost Scotsman and a Bedeviled English Officer, when caught in an Act of American Perfidy during Buonaparte’s late Campaigns against the Order of the World.

some Napoleonic Soapghost I finally finished ☠️🇬🇧🧼 read more context below the cut

I really enjoy properly Regency AUs. Not polyester pastiches like Bridgerton, but more like Patrick O’Brian or Jane Austen has a lovechild with my current brainrot of choice, and it runs off to war. Finding a historical context in which characters can retain most, if not all of their particular attributes, backstories, and well, characteristics, while also respecting conventions of the period is half the fun for me. Happily, the early 19th century is such a pliable period; spending enough time with primary sources often reminds one that fact is often stranger than fiction.

All this to say, I’d love to actually write this historical adventure-romance, but in the meantime, a brief sketch of our primary characters …

English officer Simon Riley, choosing to affect his own death rather than submit to a court-martial for a crime he did not commit, deserts his unit then in the Peninsula and secrets himself aboard a convict ship then moored off the mouth of the Mersey. By much cunning and falsehood, he passes himself off as a German prisoner-of-war, Simon Geist, hiding his true identity behind the skull of the man responsible for his disgrace. Though believed to be mad, his size and martial skill see him rapidly enlisted into the infamous Black Brunswickers, then in British service. He finds himself back in Spain, where his strange success in reducing desertion among his fellow enlisted mercenaries sees him promoted to lieutenant. Nominally of the Brunswick Hussars, always mounted on his massive warmblood Bourbon, his excellent navigation and melée combat skills bring him to the attention of the British staff, who task “Ghost” with a number of dangerous missions…

John MacTavish, a sergeant of the 71st Glasgow Highland Light Infantry, enlisted young, falsifying his age, and his experience has since made him one of the best sharpshooters in the Peninsula. Among a unit known for reconnaissance and skirmishing ahead of the main line, MacTavish — nicknamed “Soap” for his ability to get out of any sticky situation — earns a reputation for disruptive actions in enemy camps. It is on his way back from leave however, aboard an American merchant ship, when a new declaration of war sees allies become enemies, and Sergeant MacTavish finds himself abandoned and on the run in the hostile Spanish town of Las Almas, as the French move in on the city. A nocturnal encounter with a familiar black ghost might be his only way out …

Little work in progress

May I draw you later rather than sooner?

Sure! I'd be honoured if you did.

May mod draw one of your OCs?

It's not a trap at all

If an apple a day keeps you away, would that mean that we can attract you with a banana?

... Or whatever the opposite of an Apple is.

Maybe a cheeseburger ...

“ I wouldn’t say a banana, the texture of them is . . . bizarre . I don’t find myself enjoying them ,” “

“ a cheeseburger would be nice , maybe you can lure me with cabbage stew, who knows . “

( hes hinting to you YOUVE GOT TO MAKE HIM THE STEWW )

You could buy a horse for that money lol (at least I think so).

i bought the 349 sc glasses so you don’t have to (they’re not worth it)

The last kingdom characters as star stable horses because I seem to have issues

Since the Gen 3 Lipizzaner came out I had to think of Aethelwold everytime I saw them. So today I decided to make a side by side comparison.

And then I started thinking about what kind of horse the other characters would be.

I think it's very fitting that Alfred is an English thoroughbred.

His bastard being the same race but a gen 2 horse makes this whole thing even better.

Edward however does not look like a English thoroughbred to me.

I have a few other characters as well, but Tumblr is complaining about the amount of pictures I'm trying to post. So I'll do a part two. (Nobody cares but whatever)
