Description I'm on a bit of an art kick. I guess it's the joy of figuring out the fountain pen! So here's a little sketch with Enjolras.

I'm sure long-time friends and followers are sick of hearing this already, but hey, those costumes in the Finnish productions of Les Mis, am I right! During the Finale of the Tampereen Teatteri and Åbo Svenska Teater productions (they're really similar, practically replicas of each other), all the major dead characters reappear in white versions of the costumes they died in. So this is based on that idea, plus Enjolras's Act 1 costume from said productions.

Fear not, the TT production will close in three months. Then just give me a couple of years to calm down, and who knows, maybe I'll finally find a new thing to obsess about.

Stock used: kecky's magical brushes by Kecky – though only for the sky, this is mostly traditional. Well, as traditional as it gets when you're working with lightbox and have your lineart and colours on different sheets of paper.

Ooh, what a cool idea! And well done here; I love the colors. It really gives off that sort of serenity of death.

All the <3s for this.  ALL of them.  The faded colors, the serene expression, the negative space barricade and smoke, the soft watercolor gradient, the sense of stillness after the storm.  I can't stress enough how lovely I find this image.

This has been in my favorites for a while now. But I just saw it and I wanted to tell you: every time I see this it makes me happy. Just thought you should know

This is beautiful! I like the composition, the colors, and the suggestion of a barricade in the background. Great work!

I love that you faded the colors on the flag, too. There's something very sad and wistful about this picture.
