And Wellington, with his British feet ice-cold in the snow,

Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?

"It came without bloodshed, it came without kings,

"It came without battles and glory and things."

And he puzzled and puzzled 'til his puzzler was sore,

Then Wellington thought of something he hadn't before:

"Maybe progress," he thought, "doesn't come from a war.

"Maybe progress, perhaps, means a little bit more."

-Victor Hugo, Les Misérables 2.1.17

Thinking about Amis meetings by candlelight and how unfamiliar I am with a light source coming from that direction.

... someone please tell me about option four because while I may have figured out Bahorel's advice (on the first read at age 16 no less) I seem to have MISSED SOMETHING WHAT

In 1832 republican revolutionnaries wore the beard for group recognition but Enjolras probably wouldn’t have been able to grow one. R therefore had beard enough for two.

Art by Secretmellowblog/RetellingtheHobbit

Good afternoon! For this fundraiser I’m offering a custom illustration of any characters from Les Mis or Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit.  You can find my art at @secretmellowart or at my webcomic adaptation of The Hobbit at @retellingthehobbit.

Retelling The Hobbit art style sample

Retelling The Hobbit stained glass sample

Fantine character design sample

Valjean and Cosette Sample

You can request a drawing in my regular art style, my stained-glass art style, a mix of the two, or my cat art style. At the starting bid, I will draw up to two characters with a blank or simple geometric background. I’m also okay with ship art! (Bagginshield,  Enjolras/Grantaire, Frodo/Sam, Valjean/Javert, etc).

Because this is an auction for charity, the level of complexity in the final illustration will depend on both the bid and on my amount of personal investment in the prompt! I will also only draw something the recipient is comfortable with me sharing publicly online. Bidding begins at $25.

Will draw: ship art, furry art, “stained glass” style art

Will not draw: nsfw/fetish stuff, pro-police stuff, heavy gore….or hot Javert. If you want me to draw Javert I will make him an ugly cube and I will not compromise my principles on this for any amount of money, I’m sorry. I can draw Javert as a furry tho.
