This was a remarkable group.

It vanished in the invisible depths which lie behind us.

At the point of this drama which we have now reached,

it will not perhaps be superfluous to throw a ray of light upon these youthful heads,

before the reader beholds them plunging into the shadow of a tragic adventure.

Happy barricade day!

I finished this illustration in early march and im queuing it (because I'll be deep in exams by the time barricade actually happens) so hopefully tumblr does not mess the timing up

I love love love science fiction, and the fact that stories about the future also reflect stories about the present and the past. "so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like [Les Miserables] cannot be useless". The fighting at the barricades is hopeful albeit it's tragedy because the fighting has not stopped. Today, we are still fighting for the same ideals as Les Amis were. I hope you enjoy how I've chosen to commemorate Barricade Day.

Here are some of my more artistic notes.

Enjolras has fire hair because it is at once dangerous yet hopeful. He is the leader and a guiding light, which is why both Combeferre and Courfeyrac are looking at him. I did my best to adapt his iconic vest and flag combo, even if the tricolour is not as visible with the warm lighting.

I remember it being a widespread fandom thing that Combeferre is into bugs (is this still a thing?), so I took inspiration from that and gave him antennae and 4 eyes for his alien form. The tail of his doctors jacket is also inspired from the shapes of butterfly wings. He is at once a fighter and a healer to me, so I copied Medic tf2's banger outfit.

I decided to make courfeyrac a cyborg for multiple reasons. One: since he comes from a rich family, he would be able to afford those augments. Two: his decision to cut the "de" of his name off is interesting to me, because he is now stuck in a both/neither grey area of whether he is still part of the upper class that he wanted to detach himself from. Granted, I am not very familiar with the actual politics of les mis, but it does remind me of how cyborgs in scifi struggle to fit in with either human or machine.

I worked so hard on the composition and colour scheme for this piece, and I'm so happy with how it turned out! Only regret is making it in a square canvas, I would have chosen a3 if I had known how much I'd like the final product teehee

That's it! feel free to ask questions if anyone is curious :3
