Artist's Comments

Solus cum sola non cogitabuntur orare Pater noster...

(When a man and a woman are alone they will probably not say Our Father)



You would never believe the amazing sense of humour Claude Frollo had in Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris". That's what he said when Gringoire the poet, his pupil, told him that every night he spent one hour with Esmeralda, his "wife".
Of course they did nothing, but the idea of them being alone was enough for Claude to throw himself into despair and try to exorcise it with his "latin sense of humour".



Richard Dawkins as Claude Frollo,
Q'orianka Kilcher as Esmeralda.

Now, this is much better than the former one :D :dance: and yeah, that part in HoND also made me smile, it was very unlike him to say such things ;P

Oh, do you like it? I hope so. Of course there's no window anymore, and maybe Claude's figure is asphyxiating. But...

Ha ha, don't remember if we've discussed this before, I think we have, but I'm never too tired to mention that other hilarious line:
"Did you touch her, you sinner?"
"Who? The goat?"
"No! The gypsy girl!"

LOL

(tell me, is the quote's translation in english correct? I mean, I only have it in greek and french)
:iconellygator:
It's quite amazing how the addition of the face alters the whole dynamic of the image.

Hmmmm... it just shows us exactly what Claude is thinking. But... how about the composition? Don't you think it's suffocating now?
And another question: I should reduce the hair's halo, right? 'Cause it's too obvious that Esme's pic was copy/paste, it kinda sticks out because of the halo. And do you think her face should have even stronger contrasts, or maybe more grain? So as to look like the rest of the picture?
:iconmadguida:
I'm glad you added Esmeralda ;)
All this chat makes me want to read Notre Damme de Paris again.

Oh, glad you like her!

And gee, I don't seem to remember, have we two discussed about Notre Dame de Paris before?
:iconmadguida:
No, I don't think we did.
I read it a long time ago (when I was 11 or so). I barely remember all the details, but I know I liked reading it. A bit smaller than Les Misérables! :D

Ha, I read it right after I saw the Disney animation (I was 18-19) and instantly loved it! This book is the love of my life ever since...
:iconmadguida:
I loved the Disney version. I went to see it because I heard they had done a wonderfull job turning the Notre Dame digital. I remember watching a documentary about it: a group of artists travelled to Paris to basically sketch the town an all the monuments.

It's a brilliant movie. ;)

Ha, I've seen the documentary too, even have it on tape! Wasn't it marvelous? I loved the singing voices. It was a great hit here in Greece.
