I got pretty lucky because I saved the pattern I used for Vash's coat and was able to tweak it into what I needed for Javert. Which is kind of funny, because I seem to remember packing away Vash's pattern and thinking, "Why am I saving this? I will never sew Vash's coat again." But I'm one of those people that keeps random things because I think it might be useful someday. I think this is the first time something random actually was useful later.
(Why is it that when I look up reference pictures for anything, I end up getting sidetracked? While looking for references for his uniform, I ended up learning that Philip Quast, a fan-favorite actor for Javert, used to be on a preschoolers' show in Australia. I watched a clip in which he sang nursery rhymes and then pretended to be a cat. My brain is having a hard time coping with that. The idea that super serious, uptight Inspector Javert and the grown man pretending to be a cat are the same person is refusing to sink in.)
In unrelated news:
This has nothing to do with the ongoing battle between Wolfwood and Ezio, but my sister made fairy wings out of a pipe cleaner and tried them onto Wolfwood. I'm ridiculously fond of those wings. I think I'll just leave them on forever.
That's all for now! Peace out!
Winglets!
