Today’s fan-art was created by Alan Smithee and certainly not me……
Isn’t it….. just….umm….. a drawing? ^^’
Frollo’s Perfect Date
I confess, I can’t draw at all.
This weekend is Otakon, which is the largest Anime Convention on the East Coast of the USA (and I’m attending), I though this Fan-art Friday I would use Pokemon in the Belle staging (with some liberties) from Notre Dame de Paris.
Pokemon performing Belle Notre dame de Paris made by me
Esmeralda – Bellossom
Quasimodo – Snubbull
Frollo – Gengar
Phoebus – Rapidash
It’s Time for My Little Pony. This time it’s everybodies’ conflicted priest; Frollo. I created this by using the Ponymaker game on the hub website but I did change his eyes with photoshop to make him look scary.
Frollo inspired Pony
Since it’s Friday the 13th and we’re focusing on Notre Dame de Paris this month I created a special fan-art for the occasion
Friday the 13th Notre Dame de Paris Special
I was aiming for a creepy/spooky vibe. I tried to make it look like Esmeralda was a demonic ghoul haunting Frollo.
Enjoy

Frollo is a Ladies’ Man
(based on the wonderful book
- Stalk her
- Insult her in public
- Accuse her of a crime that you committed
- Condemn her to die
- When she is in jail, confess your feeling but remember don’t let her talk
- Proposition her for sex
- Try to force yourself on her
- Give her an ultimatum; The tomb of your Bed
- If all else fails, weep like a child
- But most importantly be Persistent
Follow these 10 easy steps and the women will be your’s or dead, but if you can’t have her no should.
(Behind the scene factoid – The chocolates that Frollo is “holding” are Ghirardelli Valentine’s Chocolate Squares, 
however I changed name of to “Gobbo” which is Italian for Hunchback)

Richard Armitage
As a possible movie (or mini-series) Frollo I would suggest Richard Armitage for the role. While Armiatge is younger and more attractive than Frollo is meant to be, he has a talent for playing brooding and complex characters.
Richard Armitage as John Thornton from the BBC of North & South
Armitage’s biggest roles have been playing John Thornton in the 2004 BBC version of North & South
Richard Armitage as Guy of Gisborne from the BBC version of Robin Hood
Armitage is a very versatile actor. I think he pull off the descent into insanity very effectively. I know Armitage could give Frollo the complexity he has in the book but is lacking from other film versions.
Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit
As for his looks, yeah Armitage would be a handsomer and younger Frollo but his looks work with the character. He is tall and lean which would enhance Frollo’s austere look. With the right costume and make-up he could be made up to look like the ideal Frollo.
Richard Armitage
Tell me what do you think. Do you like Richard Armitage would make a good Frollo or do someone else is the perfect Frollo?
Bonus – Armitage was also in Captain America as Heinz Kruger and in Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace as Naboo Fighter Pilot (he was uncredited)

Dom Claude (Nigel de Brulier) 1923 Hunchback of Notre Dame
Dom Claude in the 1923 version of Hunchback represents the religious aspect of Frollo’s character. He is also the brother of the evil Jehan though they don’t interact much. In fact if it wasn’t for a few text cards you wouldn’t really even know. In the 1939 version the brothers actually had scenes together.
Dom Claude (Nigel de Brulier) with Esmeralda (Patsy Ruth Miller) & Quaismodo (Lon Chaney)
Basically this guy is a saint. He’s kind and sticks up for the little guys i.e. Quasimodo and Esmeralda. In fact despite Quasimodo being Jehan’s “Slave” Quasimodo spends more screen time with Dom Claude and generally seems to like Claude better.
Dom Claude (Nigel de Brulier) with Clopin (Ernest Torrence )
He is also well respected. This is proven by Clopin’s interaction with him where Clopin seem to back down to him.
Dom Claude (Nigel de Brulier) 1923 Hunchback of Notre Dame
Basically his ONLY function in this film is to give plot exposition because after it has to go somewhere.

Next Time; Sister Gudule or “Godule” as she is credited
Gudule (Gladys Brockwell) Hunchback of Notre Dame 1923
I don’t really enjoy the singing or the performance that much, Tony Jay is just infinitely cooler as Frollo (see I did a thing there). However I enjoy the lyric (here is another video with the French lyrics and translation) Then I had a thought, how cool would it be if Daniel Lavoie (Frollo in Notre Dame de Paris) sang a cover of Hellfire in either English or French? That would be sooo awesome ^^ Anyway enjoy “Infernal”
