Description

Not sure if they should blend in more to the dancers, or if they should remain distinct...so I'll tinger with this some more. Background is altered from a later 19th century painting.


From Estelraca's perfect fic "To Follow" ([link])

'The other dancers have beautiful dresses, and dance as gracefully as any man Enjolras has seen, but they have no faces.

Courfeyrac's hands cup his face, bring his eyes back to meet Courfeyrac's. "Don't look too closely, Enjolras. Don't pry too far. Even my memory of faces and people only lasts so long here, but I wanted to dance with you one more time."

"Here…" Shaking his head, he frowns as Courfeyrac takes his hands again. "Where are we, Courfeyrac?"

"I can't rightly say. Between, I suppose." Courfeyrac shrugs, though the smile on his face is sad. "You keep sliding back and forth, but there is no back for us. Not anymore. Only forward, into the unknown, but we don't want to leave until we're certain you're safe."'

Oh, my god... my heart, my poor heart *feelings*

Well, I'll say that I love how you draw les Amis, specially Enjolras. Your Enjolras is beautiful, wild... is like an angel, but very human too. He is all that describes Victor Hugo and even more. He is perfect.

And this picture is magic. The dancers without faces, the beautiful dress, the room... reminds me Anastasia, the picture film, the vals scene and... well is perfect. And Enjolras and Courf are lovely togethers. Their posture and their expressions are so tender and sweet... and then I read the fic and well. I started crying. Is a moment so sad and touching that I couldn't help it.

Keep drawing like this.
