Dixie's Mud Marchby ~TaralWayne

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Other

Years ago I wrote a story for a comic to be called "Heart of Dixie." While the story was a good one, the comic was never drawn and there are only a few illustrations like this one to show for it. This one I was commissioned to do, in fact, and is only one of two or three in colour.

"The Mud March" was in fact a real event, early in the American Civil War.

The files I'm about to upload to this folder are mainly old, and were scanned on an antiquated Mustek at a time when I really didn't know what I was doing. So they are cruder than they would have been if I was scanning them today. Perhaps someday they ought to be rescanned, but, if I took the time to do that, I wouldn't have time now to upload them.

Most of this batch are also "furry." They were (and presumably still are) posted to a Yahoo group called FurryWAM. I have other art posted on other groups that I"ll get around to uploading here at another time.

Euuu, ick!

That's one good-looking pic! And one good looking Southern gun-bunny

Begs a question, and keep in mind I am NOT the history buff I'd like to be: did girls serve in the War Between the States on either side?

I need to peruse your gallery, I hope I find more like this!

Not many women likely served in either army during the American Civil War, but a few are known by name. In the best known case, the men in her outfit knew who she was, of course, but hid her identity. I've heard of one cowboy, though , who no one knew was a woman until she died and was buried!

What a great drawing! I love how her hairstyle sweeps across her face like that, very cute. I've noticed a lot of your characters do the hair in the face thing. I approve

You do hands quite well too, something a lot of artists have a problem with. I wish you'd do something more with her, I really like that design.

There have been several other drawings of Dixie, as well as the script for an entie comic book. I only penicled the first two pages though, and realized that I didn't know how to tell the story in comic form then. It was one of my first attempts. I've learned how since, but the market is shot to hell. I cold find a publisher and spend the next year of my life doing this for nothing, but I'm getting old, lazy, and greedy. I've been living hand to mouth for 40 years, and I'm sick of it. I can live as well off welfare, and its a lot easier.

The Mud March? Didn't learn about that in school.

~TaralWayne Feb 15, 2011 Professional General Artist

It was a mere detail of the war. IN shcool, you're lucky if they teach that the War of 1812 started in 1812. If you really want to know things, you have to go out and read about them. Except for math and perhaps science, school doesn't teach anything very well.

CAN I USE THIS please

~TaralWayne Dec 26, 2010 Professional General Artist

Use it? How? T-shirt? It's a little too big for an DA icon. You could have it tatooed on your butt.
