Posting some wips I’ve had for years so I can keep myself accountable to finish some after my vacation!
This lowly sand which you trample beneath your feet, if you cast it into the furnace, and let it melt and seethe, shall become resplendent crystal, and by means of such as it a Galileo and a Newton shall discover stars.
Happy Barricade Day 2023!

Wow has it really been a year since I posted this? I’ll try harder this time I promise.
Also I am working on finishing my barricade art for tomorrow!

Well, monarchy is the foreigner; oppression is the foreigner; divine right is the foreigner.
There comes an hour when protest no longer suffices; after philosophy there must be action; the strong hand finishes what the idea has planned.
"This barricade is made neither of paving stones, nor of timbers, nor of iron; it is made of two mounds, a mound of ideas and a mound of sorrows. Here misery encounters the ideal. Here the day embraces the night, and says: I will die with you and you will be born again in me."
Happy Barricade Day 2020
How kind of @pilferingapples and @darthfar to tag me in this! I'm still around, just been busy lately with a new job I got near the beginning of the year. I hope to post new art soon! Tag game under the cut if I can get that to work:

And here’s my other piece for @lesmisartcollab, an illustration of a line from the book by @threadbaremillionaire which seemed perfect to try a technique on which I’ve been itching to do. Which… Didn’t really go as planned, but I think I like the result anyway? I was trying to go for the scene being lit just by moonlight… Not sure how well I managed that, but hey.
This is the lineart I did! It’s an illustration of the line “Jean Prouvaire and Combeferre pressed each other’s hands silently, leaning against each other in an angle of the barricade” from the book. The coloring looks nice!
I’m out of town, but here is my contribution to the @lesmisartcollab ! I got @tamakyuart‘s lines. It was fun to color something so different than I’m used to, and I’m glad there’s finally a Fantine on my blog!
Finally done! Here are the rest of my art swaps, in order: @batcii's Combeferre and Enjolras @pilferingapples's Enjolras and Grantaire @masondarts's Enjolras @fixaidea's Courfeyrac
I think I got everyone in the tag and everyone’s designs I wanted to draw. This was a lot of fun, and great practice for inking faster! I have to draw a Valjean soon to make up for all these amis.
I said I was gonna do sketches for the rest of these but I accidentally mostly finished this one. Another Joly, this time @darthfar‘s!
Belated art swap, but I didn't want to leave anyone out that I wanted to draw! Here's @clenster‘s Joly, who is very cute.
Drew this with my friend’s markers while on vacation!
Next art swap is @tamakyuart‘s Courfeyrac! I tried watercolors, but they did not scan well so I tried to save it in photoshop. Hope it’s alright!
