2023 Year in Review: Number 4

Welcome to day two of my five day countdown.

Number four on my list of favorite projects from this year is:

Copenhagen!

I had a lot of fun making this. The base mesh and texture wasn't mine (yay for 3d mesh websites), but I had a lot of work to do reducing the poly count and fixing the eyes (which got really messed up for some reason). I'm still waiting for a better discount on Horse Ranch, so for now this is the only horse I have in my game.

Copenhagen, and the other deco pieces I released with him, is an important part of my Hotel de Charost build, which took up most of March and April for me.

Why name the build Copenhagen? I'm a bit of a fangirl where the first Duke of Wellington is concerned. The Duke of Wellington was a brief occupant of the Hotel de Charost in 1814, when he was the British Ambassador to France. Copenhagen was the name of the warhorse the Duke rode in a number of significant engagements on the Peninsula, including Waterloo. It seemed appropriate, given the build the horse was made for, to name it for a horse that might once have been stabled there.

Check in tomorrow to see number three!

The Duke of Wellington ***

The Duke of Wellington is a pub in Southampton that dates back to the 12th century. It is one of the oldest pubs in the city and is a popular tourist destination.The pub is named after the Duke of Wellington, who was the victor of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The pub was originally called the Bugle Inn, but it was renamed in 1820 to honour the Duke.The Duke of Wellington is a Grade II listed building and is known for its historic interior. The pub has a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a fireplace that is over 400 years old. At the rear of a small L shaped bar is a large dinning area. 6X on tap. Not the friendliest pub I’ve ever been. Review 2023.

Sir Thomas Lawrence was one of the important painters of the Regency and reign of George IV. He is perhaps best known for the works of the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle, which depict the major figures who came together to depict Napoleon, along with members of the Restored French Monarchy. Sir Thomas did several different portraits of His Grace, General Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, etc. This particular one is of the Iron Duke astride his noble steed Copenhagen at Waterloo, done in 1818. Beau Wellesley is in dark clothing rather than the red coat usually associated with the British military, which was typical for him.

This CC version is an abridged version of the painting (the full painting includes the bottom half of the horse and some of the battlefield). It comes in six swatches: Gold, White, Beige, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, and Black.

Blame for this can be laid at the feet of @amarguerite, whose An Ever-Fixed Mark series is one of my favorite reads, as it was the impetus for me reading far too much about Sir Arthur. Also technically the reason why I have/will have so much Vigee-Le Brun cc.

Can't believe I actually drew this

(Btw the way I drew him is based on @historycomicsandpictures' version as well as the 1970's Waterloo film, so don't get onto me about him looking accurate pls)

The Duke of Wellington to cure your sorrows and bless your dashboard

or maybe make it worse depending on if you hate british people, but if you hate him, fuck you (/joke)
