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.

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

^__^ 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.

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

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

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.
