Description Grantaire, one of my favourite characters from Les Mis. I really like it how he understands that the Revolution he and his friends are fighting won't change anything and yet he goes to battle all the same

If my memory serves me well I believe in the book Grantaire was a bit older but I'm not sure. Anyway, this is George Blagden from the new Les Mis movie, I think he might look younger here because I painted him based on a picture that's not from the movie.

For the BG I used a pic from the on stage version of the show as reference.

Bloody. Brilliant.

That was not a proper comment, I apologize. The left half of the picture is amazing, the shading and the different hues of red and orange are beautiful, especially the smoky effect. Grantaire is just- freaking- beautiful. He looks like an ANGEL. I love this so much- it's killing me. Thank you for posting this, mon ami.Β

Stunning piece,really powerful. At first I thought it was a photo. And I like the idea that on the where we can see Enjolras. In the book, when it was first written about Grantaire and discribed his nature, I was so amazed about that young man. Cynical, but yet with a great faith. Faith, but not in changes or a better life. But in Enjolras.

Oops, I 've only now noticed a mistake in my previous message. I ment"I like the idea of Enjolras on the background". Hope you've understand.

Anyway, I agree with you. These two are so amazing, as well as your picyure.

Epic! I played Grantaire a few years back now when I was still in high school for the school production ^.^ the movie was great but so sad they cut the Drink with Me song down, it's much longer in the theatre show.

elfdust In reply to grapeninja [2013-01-26 01:31:18 +0000 UTC]

Yup, that's one of the very few things I disliked of the movie, I love that song and I wanted to see Grantaire ask Enjolras what's the use of dying on the barricade...oh well, the movie's great so I won't complain much
