It's Spring, Let Them Enjoy It 🌸

Im actually obsessed with the asian joly headcanon and that is because he's a short silly guy with whimsy and joy in his heart who loves to learn but is anxious but trying to push past that. And boy if that doesnt sum up literally so many seasian ppl i know

Javert's Demise

please make your own ideas and conclusions i find them cool and interesting, also there's two versions because both fields were a real struggle

Gotta say I am both very dubious of, and fascinated by, the concept of a "Jean Valjean Prequel". like...are we gonna focus on the grueling poverty of his life as a peasant in the Ancien Regime? Are we going to watch as multiple generations of his family are literally killed by deprivation and overwork? See the faint echoes of the revolution from the POV of a family that is not at all involved in the politics ? Are we going to just...spend those 19 years he was in prison IN PRISON? Every beating and escape attempt? the casual corruption and cruelty of the officials and guards? Might we get sort of meta and see some riff on Claude Gueux play out there?

the thing is we do actually know what happens to JVV before the book starts and it's all bad, grindingly exhaustingly bad ; if they're committing to that then Respect, honestly, it's not like "poverty and prison are soul crushing" is less relevant these days

And/but if they're not committing to that...what the heck are they gonna do with it ??

I saw les mis again 🥲

one more thing about modern aus is that they'll go on about enjolras giving these long inspiring speeches for the majority of the vague meetings about the undefined cause which is so. in the books he is not on the stage preaching to everyone during most of the pre-barricade scenes. like its kind of made a point that he is either having actual conversations or just listening to what everyone else is saying. like yes he does give orders and instructions that he'll pre-face with a little speech but like. normally he's listening to others opinions before giving his own two cents. i think sometimes people just see the word leader and they can't imagine a version of that that isn't someone else forcing their thoughts and will onto a group of people.

Red, the Color of Desire

Some canon era Enjoltaire for you. Just wanted to challenge myself to draw something that was very hand based instead of relying on faces. I think it went pretty well. I have to draw a lot of hands at my works so I've gotten really comfortable with them over the years.

Anyway I hope you like it. Just a little bit of Enjolras/Grantaire steaminess.

congrats to the Les mis châtelet team for winning best musical! :)

About 10 years ago I was working for a gaming company doing creature design. After work, I would go home and dissect animals in my garage. I borrowed a tiger carcass from a local taxidermist. I wanted to understand how the jaw muscles worked, so I stop motion animated it.

The muscle on the back of the head (Temporalis) bulges out when the jaw is closed. But when the is jaw is open, it depresses in like the surface of a trampoline. But not uniformly, in a Y shaped pattern.

I ended up getting evicted for stop motion animating tiger parts in my garage…..but it was worth it. I still have hard drives full of animal carcasses reference animations today. Fun Times.
