Hey, some Les Misérables fanart because that's my favorite book ever and omg I love Victor Hugo :la:
Here is the Death Scene (oh well, just-before-death) of Enjolras and Grantaire. Because I like them. I mean Grantaire is funny and somehow he managed to have an awesome death without actually fighting XD

Hey, Here the extract form the book. It's in french though, so sorry if you can't understand it.


"Relégué qu’il était dans son coin et comme abrité derrière le billard, les soldats, l’œil fixé sur Enjolras, n’avaient pas même aperçu Grantaire, et le sergent se préparait à répéter l’ordre : En joue ! quand tout à coup ils entendirent une voix forte crier à côté d’eux :
— Vive la République ! J’en suis.
Grantaire s’était levé.
L’immense lueur de tout le combat qu’il avait manqué, et dont il n’avait pas été, apparut dans le regard éclatant de l’ivrogne transfiguré.
Il répéta : Vive la République ! traversa la salle d’un pas ferme, et alla se placer devant les fusils debout près d’Enjolras.
— Faites-en deux d’un coup, dit-il.
Et, se tournant vers Enjolras avec douceur, il lui dit :
— Permets-tu ?
Enjolras lui serra la main en souriant.
Ce sourire n’était pas achevé que la détonation éclata.

Enjolras, traversé de huit coups de feu, resta adossé au mur comme si les balles l’y eussent cloué. Seulement il pencha la tête.
Grantaire, foudroyé, s’abattit à ses pieds."

holy cow I didn't see this one. I would wear this on a t-shirt!

Allow me to link you to something: this scene, from the only possible witness. Scroll down to chapter V

Gee don't worry about commenting it's always appreciated XD
Thanks a lot =) I'm not really into shipping and stuff because of how it's often way out of character but hey since that scene actually happens and is so emotionally wrecking and stuff I felt like drawing it. Also I really like Grantaire.

Nice job! I love the attention to detail and the bayonets are perfect. The facial expressions are a bit awkward, but they're cute. :)

Thanks a lot = ) That's a part of the book that is soooooo emotionally strong - Plus I really really like the characters so seeing them die is always pretty strong, so yeah that's the sort of chapter that makes me both incredibly sad because Awesome Death Scene, AND on a weird happy note, Grantaire kinda earned what he wanted in the end, and well, I tried to capture all those feelings and I'm really happy if other people like it

Plus on a technical note that's also more or less since that piece that I kinda changed my way of coloring and left the land of "typical rectangular canvas shape" to have some fun with png's transparency superpowers :la:

Oh, it's beautiful! Especially Enjolras' hair; just as Hugo described it.

Thanks =D Yeah, I really like the Archangel-ish Enjolras of the book (I like most of the characters anyway) so I tried to keep him as close as I could to the book

Ah oui, j'aime beaucoup, mais alors beaucoup! Le travail sur les couleurs est franchement impressionnant, c'est vraiment ce qui saute aux yeux en premier - le fond (très bonne utilisation de la texture), la façon dont ça éclaire les deux personnages juste ce qu'il faut, et la façon dont l'un est pratiquement le reflet de l'autre (Enjolras tout en lumière et en tons clairs et chauds, Grantaire exactement son opposé). Et puis la composition, le côté zen de l'arrière-plan (les deux personnages qui se "trouvent", d'une certaine manière) et les fusils qui donnent un mouvement et une direction à l'ensemble... Et puis les petits détails qui tuent, genre la chemise de Grantaire qui lui sort à moitié du futal, un peu débraillé =P Vraiment, très, très chouette. Si je voulais pinailler je dirais qu'Enjolras a la taille un peu marquée, presque féminine, mais c'est tout. Un grand bravo :)
