Saint-Just's birthday

[montagnarde1793]

Probably not the world's best picture of Saint-Just, but it's the best I could do for the time being. 
...But you do know what this means? My scanner is working again, so they'll be many more pictures! It would be in bad taste to post most of them on Saint-Just's birthday, however, so I'll hold off on that.

Oooh, cool. ^_^ I like the shading and the shape of his nose.

And yay for working scanners.

Thank you. :) Those are two of the things I focused most on in this drawing, actually. It must be admitted I've given him better hair in the past, however.

Yes; and of course, naturally some of the pictures I have to scan are of Camille. I thought it would be most impolitic to post them on Saint-Just's birthday, considering their mutual antipathy.

Probably. And it probably wouldn't be a good idea to irritate Saint-Just's ghost on his birthday.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Certainly not. Hopefully he'll like the portrait.

Oh, how pretty ^_^ I love the random blush. ♥

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

^__^ Thank you!

...You're not going to believe this, but the blush was actually accidental; I was looking for red pastel for another drawing, and I kept coming up with pink. I didn't realize I still had it all over my hands when I started shading....It was just a happy coincidence that I didn't end up giving him pink hair. But notice the pinkness in the coat.

Saint-Just with pink hair might have been the most amusing thing ever, aka. how Saint-Just pretended to be Tontoinette just for fun XD

And oh, the pinkness in the coat is oddly appropriate; it works very well, it gives some texture to it.

*sporfle* ...Speaking of which, I have a drawing of Antoinette restored to her original state of fugliness....All these films and propaganda paintings make her much prettier than anyone says she was, or than the non-suck-up painters painted her.

That's what I thought when it was finished too, but it wasn't intentional.
...Better than pink hair though.

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha, fugly Tontoinette. Can't wait to see that.

P.S. I just noticed that Saint-Just seemed to have lipstick though.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Truly it is a marvel;)

Well...yes. That was just because the charcoal is dark and there was no way I could lighten it without giving him enormous smeared lips, so that's why.

A bas le Citoyen Saint Just!

It is a good likeness of him, Citoyenne, but you should adjust the contrast. The cravat is very well.Tell me what you think of the 1871 gown in my journal.

Can you provide dialogue advisement? My ch 1 dialogue is sucking right now. Victorine is having a conversation with Louise Michel (remember her?) but I need to lengthen the scene. How is your novel coming?

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm not presently on bad terms with him, so you won't mind if I wish him a happy birthday.

What do you mean adjust the contrast?
I didn't like the dress that much, to tell you the truth; if I had I might have commented.

I shall try my best to advise you, but my own novel is coming badly, since I have to write a screenplay by the end of the semester and thus have to put it on hold for a while.
