Description This is a super late birthday present for my dear friend `cality

One of the few traditional artworks I've done, and I learned a lot while painting this (especially that I have a lot more to learn ).

I'm a huge fan of Les MisΓ©rables, if you hadn't noticed yet
Other Les Mis works:
DreamscapeI dreamed of vivid colours once,
of bloody red and inky blue,
while life was ruled by lonely gray,
washed-out black and too-bright white
that left its canvas' edges frayed.
A brush that painted only dreams unreached
and expectations unfullfilled,
left a drowning world and city ruins,
and endless roads untravelled.
Colour had long bled out and faded,
living on in distant memories
of a shining sun that dawns in red
and chases away the black of the night,
and a bright, wide sky drenched in blue
fighting the desert of white.

Good "oh god" or bad "oh god"? Aquarell colours and aquarell pencils.

I feel the red is a bit distracting but it doesn't take too much from the rest of the work - it's still a good piece. Well done

Thank you! Thanks for pointing that out. Now that I really think about it, the red is not really fitting there.

i like the expression and the movement of the hair. im too keen on the red behind it, but in a way i guess it adds a certain touch nice job

Thank you! Yeah, the red is a little... not quite fitting; I see that now >.>

You know, I had a peek at my dA messages when I had a break at work today and had to stop myself from doing this: because that would've made my colleagues look at me oddly.

Anyway, ADHALSKDHALSKFJLAKJ thank you so, so much! I cannot express how much I LOVE this.

The colours are wonderful (=astarayel makes a wonderful comment about this), especially that glorious splash of red. And her hair flows beautifully! Also, her expression is painted so well, so as to make you feel the emotions of the character.

Thank you, you lovely, lovely person!

Awww~

I'm so glad you like it!

You know, I thought/am thinking about sending it to you per post, but then I realised that I can't because a) I obviously don't have your address and b) this looks so much better on screen than it does in reality

You're so very welcome, lovelier person!

cality In reply to Riemea [2013-05-29 22:24:56 +0000 UTC]

Of course I love it!

Haha, really? I'm sure it looks equally amazing both on screen and in reality though.



P.S. May I please display it on my profile page (with a link to here)?

Ah, I see! Still though, it must look great in reality too.

Hehe, great! It will make my profile look beautiful. Thank you so much again!

Gorgeous! I especially love her eyes. And it's so unique the way you used color here; I feel like most Les Mis fanart has a lot more subdued tones (probably to reflect the somber mood of the musical), but there's a fantastic lightness about this. Very much the "Castle on a Cloud" Cosette
