“In the moment when the eyes of the two men met, Javert, without having made the least gesture, became hideous. He had the face of a fiend who has found the victim he thought he had lost.”

What can I say? Javert and Valjean have grown on me since I started reading the book, so much so that poor Enjolras has been retired to the back of the sketchbook! Ha ha. I really like the way Hugo portrays Javert. He seems a very black and white character, perhaps misunderstood but cold and ruthless all the same. I’d imagine him to wear that stern look most of the time… he is, after all, the LAW! And the law is not mocked! Yadda yadda ha ha ha! *Is thrown in the Seine* XD

So yeah, I went a little crazy on the old textures here. Not so sure if it really works… perhaps it’s a bit much. Still, Valjean and Cosette attempt to escape the dogged determination of Javert…
