darthfar: [Insert appropriate greeting] Barricade Day to you all. Here’s a little, er, early barricade cheer for our fandom holiday. ;) Hey, look! It’s a comic about someone who lived! For a change! That’s good, isn’t it? ……. ;) Anyway, this exists because of something @pilferingapples once wrote about how it was upsetting her that Marius was stuck in recovery for so long, by the time he was back up and running, “everyone else is long buried […] (bodies, June heat, etc) […] and after six months, surely everyone’s families/friends/etc would have been through their houses and cleaned up and cleared out personal belongings; landlords aren’t going to keep a tenant’s room as memorial. […] The Amis aren’t just dead, from Marius’ POV; they’ve been erased.” And such a soulful, poignant lament simply begs to be illustrated, does it not? [Pilferingapples, I don’t know whether to use “credit” or “blame” in attributing this to you… ;) Take your pick!] [Mind you, this is still probably a nicer alternative to what I’d originally had planned, before I changed my mind a little over two weeks ago… Which is not to say that it’ll never see the light of day either…] Also - gasp! - Cosette openly displaying affection in public? The scandal! You will forgive me my artistic licence - I’d have drawn them in the privacy of their own garden, only it wouldn’t been as dramatic as having the Luxembourg for a backdrop. (And on that note, I couldn’t find enough information on what the gardens looked like back in the day - save that the statues came later -, so you will please pretend with me that it’s well, whatever I drew it to be, LOL). Technical note: In case you were wondering about the weird size of page 3, it’s that way because, if it had been printed out, the page would’ve been rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise. [Yup, drew my fingers half off. Again. What was it you said again, Pilf? “You are an Icarus flying too close to the sun on wings of ambition and highly questionable time management XD”… Er. Yeah. At least I get a little credit for managing to finish it by 5th June this year? Heheh.] —————————————————- And! Shall we make this a little more fun? The first person to send me an Ask note naming the character I’ve managed to kill off the most times gets a drawing of their choice. ;) -- source link
