Description A new project of mine: (sm)art nouveau, a revision of art nouveau style starring some of my favourite characters from Les MisΓ©rables. They are going to be presents for some of my friends in the cast, using my style I use for professional and commercial works instead of the normal cartoony stuff I do with Les Miz characters. It's my "goodbye" and "thank you to these amazing people.

This is the first in the series and he is Enjolras!!!! This is for my friend in the Les MisΓ©rables US/ North American tour.

watercolours on mixed media paper, graphite and India ink for highlighting key details.

This is a taste of his AMAZING Enjolras. He is the only Enjolras I have seen that has captured the Book!Enjolras so perfectly. He beyond talented, and is as articulate and considerate as he is kind. He is one of the kindest people I have ever met.

I have gotten so much FLACK in fandom for my watercolours! Your feels mean the world to me! It's why I do them the way that I do. They're pure emotion.

Ahah I feel you, watercolours are my favourite traditionnal medium and I get laughed at all the time in art school for using them so often... But I just LOVE the transparency and the vibrant colours of it, I'll never get tired of using them (too bad my scanner always destroys the colours so much I can't fix it digitally, if I could make good scan with accurate colour rendition I'd post loads of watercolours here ahah)

I feel the same way! They are the hardest medium, I have heard, of all the traditional paints. My scanner just destroys them; they're so much more lovely in person.

I *love* the colors here! I think there's something wrong with his right hand (the way it bends) but everything else is really good! Good job!
