#valvert week

How to participate:

Post to tumblr your Valvert content during the designated week, tagging this blog ( @valvertweek ) and, if you want, add the tag #valvert week. I will check the tag daily but it's better to tag the blog since tumblr is bad at searching tags.

Belated works will get reblogged too, just less often.

What type of media can you post?

All media types are accepted. Fanart, fanfic, fancam, playlist, plushie, Arm Joe playthrough, moodboard, cosplay, gifset, POV tiktok, embroidering etc.

- For Fics:

If you post to AO3 or other fanfiction site please post a link to the fic with a short summary or a short snippet and content warnings if applicable. Short fics can be posted directly on tumblr if you want. Longer fics I recommend using an external link, but they'll be reblogged either way.

- Reblogging old work/ reposting:

Posting your old stuff is also accepted. The point of the week is to have fun and share your work.

Following the theme:

This year we're trying something different: we have both a Theme and a Prompt List! Following either of them is totally optional. I do recommend trying it tho because it's fun!

NSFW Content and Warnings:

This blog will not curate the content reblogged during the week, so there may be content you disagree with/ dislike.

I will tag any NSFW content as such, and any trigger warnings I see fit (for example: 'suicide tw' for mention of it or implied). Feel free to ask me to tag something in particular.

HAPPY CREATING!

tbh it's an utter coincidence that my motivation to paint these lined up with Valvert week but I'm glad they did because it gave me a healthy deadline to actually finish them instead of letting them sit in WIP hell with my 24,601 other projects

but God you would not believe how hard it is to photograph a wet god damn oil painting where half of it is matte and half of it is shiny because you may have finished it but you can't actually FINISH IT (i.e. varnishing) for like 3 months

anyway here are the references and some WIPs and various stuff; as you can see I opted for Javert's whiskers (my third favorite character) over Nick Rehberger's lovely beard (so don't look too closely at his mouth and chin, I don't want to talk about it), and I gave Valjean a hint of white in his own beard (only a hint because I've gotten a lot better at color theory but once you put oil paint down it's not always the easiest thing to color correct if you mess up...)
