Civil War Anime: General Gordon Character Design
Here's Confederate General John B. Gordon, the anti-hero from the American Civil War anime film we're attempting to get off the ground. And no, we didn't exaggerate the scar on his face. The man was shot six times, including once in the face, during the Battle of Antietam. In the film, Gordon plays a key roll in thwarting several Union attacks and thus becomes a thorn in the side of our lead characters. Still fishing for financial partners to make this movie a reality. The full page Gordon art below the fold...

What was behind the decision to make his skin so pale?

We wanted to emphasize the level of stress and wear-and-tear on the characters. At the point of the battle in the story, the men had been mostly without food or sleep for days.
