Down the Rabbit Hole

Happy Bastille Day, everyone!

Have a fun twisting-the-universe Committee of Public Safety picture!

Next set! Just as a reminder, the reason I link to the original card is because I often modelled my Les Mis cards around them; so if the scene looks not-quite-right-out-of-the-book/musical, that's why. ^^ If you have any questions (the symbols, the background, etc.), feel free to ask! Anyway, here are cards 3 to 5:

( 3: The Empress )


( 4: The Emperor )


( 5: The Hierophant )

More soon!

For assistance to dechipering the Les Miserables Tarot Cards, if my drawing leaves you confused:

All of the Les Miserables Tarot cards have two symbols at the top. The one on the left is a flower in an color symbolizing and identifying the character (i.e. Gavroche is the white flower); the other is a symbol that signifies the character (i.e. Gavroche has the elephant).

List of flowers in no particular order:

Gavroche: White
Eponine: Grey
Thenardier: Black
Valjean: Red (bold)
Javert: Blue (bold)
Fantine: Pink
Cosette: Pale Blue
Marius: Green
ABCs: Tricolor

Other characters, who lack a flower or are too minor to require one, have something plant-like instead of a flower (i.e. the vine of the Hierophant).

The symbols should be self-explanatory, or at least guessable.

Today, I handed in my essay. Did I start studying for the test I have on Monday? Of course not. (Actually, I had to fake an appointment to cancel something that I REALLY don't want to do this Friday and moved said thing until next Friday - damnit - but what can I do? Gotta do it eventually. On the bright side - yay! Not this weekend! Hope they're not mad at me for canceling...;_;)

So, in my fit of trying to find something, ANYTHING, to do to procrastinate, I realised I STILL hadn't put up the pictures I'd drawn - three of them, all Les Miserables themed. I colored one. Except, because the alternative was boring study, I did it slowly. Veeeeery slowly. I wonder if anyone will notice the extra work I put it, and if said extra work ruins it - there's a small amount of coloring which is good, and a large amount which is good, and anything in between is just godawful. So please, if you think I should go back to the significantly easier less-color method, tell me.

Today, I am posting the one I colored and one of the sketches of the others - I'm not sure if I should color it, as the sketch came out rather nicely.

The second one is the inevitable joke. Everyone in the Les Mis fandom has to make it eventually. I resisted the urge to draw R as a lizard, though! (bonus points to anyone who got that)

You get to see what the sketches look like before I throw color on, too. >_< Should I add color to this one?

Comments? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
