Me: I'm gonna stop procrastinating and create a Les Mis comic! Finally, I'll draw something related to the main story! Me: Okay step one is doing in depth research on the historical boats of the period (similar to the Orion), what these ships and their harbors would've looked like, and creating an extremely high-effort historically accurate 3D model reflecting that research-- Me: oh god. this is why Victor Hugo does all those history tangents...ive been in the fandom long enough to attempt to start making my own Digressions

#really though I think blocking things out in Blender has made illustration 200000000000 times easier for me #so if I adapt the ship Orion sequence #itll take some time to model a ship #it'll take a Lot of time #but once that's over I could crank out a comic adaptation relatively quickly?#because it's just doing yeah some painstaking handmade linework #but the general lighting/color palette/perspective of the background would be there #and the model wouldn't have to be perfect if I'm just using it as a base/painting over it #my other Easier adaptation I might do as a test first #is Jean Valjean's weird trippy dream sequence before Arras #v beautiful evocative imagery that would be fun to draw #and it wouldnt be complicated either #because it's just 'a town where all the houses are the same'#anyway
