Description Doing an art trade over on Y!Gallery with friend and fantastic artist
She requested Javert/Valjean from Les Miserables, which incidentally is one of my all time favorite books. She wanted the movie version staring Rush and Neeson, both whom are incredible.
I've only had practice drawing Rush as Barbossa (and usually a very young Barbossa) and have never tried to draw Liam before, so I think for a first try it's pretty decent. I was so excited to draw these two as a pairing, thanks so much for the awesome request!
I'll probably do more, just for the hell of it. XD


Side note! When I was collect reference photos of the characters, I noticed how much TALLER Liam is than Geoffery. That got me to thinking how much taller Rush is to Depp...holy crap, if Johnny's ever in a movie with Liam Neeson I will laugh my ass off at the dramatic height difference. LOL

I am in love with these two! <3 The musical stole my heart the first time I saw it and I have seen it live twice, saw the movie and read the book, Javert is my favorite, and this is such a sweet picture <3

This drawing is almost exactly like a scene in a Javert/Valjean fic my friend and I were writing! I love the amused expression on Javert's face. These two really do look like Rush and Neeson, wonderful job!

Yes, Liam is taller and it's bad. The Holy Brick says Valjean is medium height and strong, and Javert is very tall (although his build is never clearly given, I'm sure he's like Quast or McCarthy).

But V/J is absolutely adorable. One of my all-time-favourite pairings.

I think Javert must be around 6 french feet tall, which was really a lot for that period. Your average Frenchman was 1,65m tall at that time, so a guy taller than 1,80m... uncommon and impressive. One of Louis-Philippe's prime ministers (incidentaly, the one who died right before the barricades days in June 1832) was 1,86m and used that fact to "tame" some of his opponants.

This is so... weirdly right. Ever since Roonz first posted that pic on Y!gallery, I always held this pairing in an odd reverence.

Lmao at how tall Liam is compared to Geoffery. Poor Barbossa.
