Brigadier General John A Campbell(Union)
Relatively speaking, Campbell’s Civil War military record was solid but unspectacular. This was in stark contrast to his beard, which was clearly neither of those things. I’d like to think that if you saw him head-on, you’d be able to see his bow tie through the little gap in the middle of his beard. I’d further like to think he planned it that way deliberately.
Campbell began the war as a Lieutenant in the Ohio Volunteer Infantry. After serving throughout the conflict at western battles including Shiloh, Perryville and Franklin, he was made a Brigadier General in the closing weeks of the war. It was the springboard to a successful post-war career. He was a journalist before returning to the regular army, then becoming the first Governor of the Wyoming Territory.

General Albert Sidney Johnston(Confederate)
The most senior general on either side to be killed in action during the war, Albert Sidney Johnston was one of the less hirsute military commanders. He had a long military career as a general in the Army of the Texas Republic as well as the US Army, and favoured just a moustache, albeit an immaculate one.
Johnston was put in charge of the huge western part of the Confederacy early in the war. He led his men into battle at Shiloh in April 1862 and was killed during a cavalry charge, apparently by friendly fire. His wound probably needn’t have been fatal, but he’d sent his personal doctor away to deal with injured Union prisoners, and the officers who went to his aid apparently had little idea of how to tie a tourniquet. One tried pouring brandy into his dying general’s mouth, unsurprisingly to little effect, and Johnston bled to death.

General PGT Beauregard(Confederate)
The Louisiana general was one of several Civil War figures to be likened to Napoleon. And there’s certainly a European look to his stylish moustache-and-sliver-of-a-beard combo.
Beauregard was a star Confederate general in the early days of the war, overseeing the bombardment of Fort Sumter that kicked the whole thing off, and then assuming command at Shiloh following the death of Albert Sidney Johnston. Beauregard arrived at Shiloh with Napoleon’s line of battle from Waterloo in his pocket, and like his hero he had to spend some time in exile when he was relieved of command following his decision to withdraw from Corinth without a fight. His later defences of Charleston and Petersburg restored his reputation, and after the war he declined offers to take charge of the armies of Brazil, Egypt and Romania.

Decided to draw one of my favorite scenes (besides the fight scenes) from the TF2 fanfiction The Stray (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3710644/chapters/8213752) as a warm up today.
I realized in my earlier fan art that I gave Shiloh low rise pants which didn’t exist in the 70′s so I updated her design a but.
Honestly, I love the OC in the fanfiction so much and I recommend it. I’ll be doing more fanart in the future since it seems the idea of drawing fan art for it helps me get up in the morning.
