Description This is my second entry for the contest hosted by .

Well, what can I say? This is right before Javert chucks himself into the Seine. I was working off of a picture, but I didn't like how some things looked on paper, so I took some *coughcough* artistic liberties. I rather like how this came out--actually, let me come out and say it, this is my favorite picture of Javert I've ever drawn. The background took me FOREVER...at least a couple hours. My hand is killing me right now...>.<

EDIT: Gaah! I just noticed you can't tell on the full-view...I drew a single tear running down his face...stupid scanner!!

Medium: Mechanical pencil, smudgie, gum eraser
Time: I DON"T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT!!!
Music listened to: Les Mis, of course!

I like his expression. You are very good at shadowing. Since you don't mind constructive criticism, I'll point out a few things. His arms look a bit short. Other than that, it's all cool

I gotta comment again! I went on the Les Mis club, and I scrolled down, I saw this and the title is "I am reaching but I fall..." and then Philip Quast sung it!!! D:

Yeah...if I was there I'd be the little person clinging onto his coat and bawling, 'Don't do it Javert!!'

TheDauphine In reply to bramblefox [2008-05-05 03:33:53 +0000 UTC]

I’m sure you wouldn’t be the only one. All of us Javert-fans would cling to him to make him stop. Maybe even a safety net to help break his fall.

bramblefox In reply to TheDauphine [2008-05-05 12:17:22 +0000 UTC]

I can just see it now! "Suicidal Inspector Thwarted by Fangirls!" And then a picture of all us desperate fans holding him down and talking some sense into him...

TheDauphine In reply to bramblefox [2008-05-05 22:02:13 +0000 UTC]

Then it would be followed by an article about the incident and several interviews from fans.
