Description Someone asked me to upload this... And I guess it's logical continuation to my previous deviation , even though the genders seem to have changed back.
It's from last year, which is why it looks different compared to my current stuff. It was also done for a specific project, but I don't think that's ever going to happen - and if it is, I'd rather do new illustrations than use the old ones anyway (the one who this concerns knows who they are).

Fun fact: I drew this at school, and at some point my art teacher started hovering behind me. She told me "that reminds me of a book called Les MisΓ©rables... I doubt you've read it, but somehow..." It was fun telling her that yeah, I'm indeed drawing Valjean - and also flattering that my view of the characters is clear enough for them to be recognised like that!

Les Mis is not mine.

I love your stories that go with so many of your pieces, and this is one of my favorites so far! It's really cool that, all unsuspecting, your teacher would recognize the characters. (A little sad that she assumed you hadn't read it, but maybe understandable?)

Heeeee I'm so happy you uploaded it!

It's good to hear at least someone finds my rambles worth reading...
But yeah, it was pretty nice! She didn't believe I had read it even after I had said that I'm drawing Les Mis characters, though - she just said "oh, you must've seen a movie based on the book, then..?" The Finnish abridged translation isn't even 1000 pages long, it's not that impossible...

Yay!

Yay! You uploaded it. Now I can favorite it.

I like the idea of Valjean being a gentle, good-natured guy after his reform. But threaten his baby and he instantly reverts to badass mode. You can definitely see it in his face here. It's cool that you included Cosette's fancy doll that Valjean gave her.

And I liked your story about your art teacher. It's fun being into stuff that other demographics (in this case, older people) don't expect you to be aware of.

Haha, thanks!

Yep, that exactly - the JVJ and Cosette relationship is actually very sweet, I'm very curious about the new song for the movie that will highlight it!

Indeed! I wrote about seven essays about Les Mis during high school...

Yes! I love Copics These markers give amazing results .. I have unfortunately only a few colors Pro markers .. :/ Because I prefer paint, I can mix them.
