Final Moments @valvertweek

Oil paintings based off photos of Nick Rehberger and Nick Cartell from the North American Tour souvenir program (photos and details below the cut) which I got at the show this month

really just needed an excuse to paint my two favorite characters (Javert's wig and the silver candlesticks)

No but I'm utterly taken with the contrasting imagery: the dark cool tones as Javert deliberates drowning, cold, alone, and afraid; and the warm heavenly light surrounding Valjean as he prepares to be embraced by God. And the fact that each photo has two lights, but Javert is facing away from the light and Valjean looking toward it.

tbh it's an utter coincidence that my motivation to paint these lined up with Valvert week but I'm glad they did because it gave me a healthy deadline to actually finish them instead of letting them sit in WIP hell with my 24,601 other projects

but God you would not believe how hard it is to photograph a wet god damn oil painting where half of it is matte and half of it is shiny because you may have finished it but you can't actually FINISH IT (i.e. varnishing) for like 3 months

anyway here are the references and some WIPs and various stuff; as you can see I opted for Javert's whiskers (my third favorite character) over Nick Rehberger's lovely beard (so don't look too closely at his mouth and chin, I don't want to talk about it), and I gave Valjean a hint of white in his own beard (only a hint because I've gotten a lot better at color theory but once you put oil paint down it's not always the easiest thing to color correct if you mess up...)

^you see, earth pigments like browns dry very matte and flat until you reshinify them, and it just ends up being patchy and varnishing fixes all that but I can’t varnish any time soon so I had to dab oil all over the thing which could lead to yellowing in a few years but whatever I gotta get that tumblr clout after all

Bradley Jaden IS javert to me. There’s been loads of REALLY good actors over the years but I genuinely don’t think any of them manage to embody him as convincingly as Bradly.

I might be biased (I totally am) but he brought such a fresh interpretation of the character and I’m so attached to his Javert

9 signatures, found on a damaged document in the backroom of the Cafe Musain. The core members of a group which almost became historic, known as Les Amis de L’ABC…

A calligraphy project I did, mostly as an exercise in different styles of handwriting and attempting to design distinct signatures! I had a ton of fun with it and there are a few more that couldn’t fit in this post so those will be up shortly.
