Improving the classics

[alias_sqbr]

Talking with nico_wolfwood I was inspired to illustrate a scene from Pride and Predjudice using the same steampunk setting as this picture. Now I've gotten Darcy and Lizzie in the picture I feel more satisfied the prompt is complete.

Of course now I'm going to imagine Anne that way every time I read them book :) Drawing the first picture got me thinking bout her role in the book and what her future might hold, and while I was looking for reference pics I found proof that I'm not the only one :)

Airship from here, aren't they cool?

Oh! That's Anne?

When I saw the first picture, I interpreted it as, what you said, a speculation about what Anne's future might hold: all grown up, and past grown up, and her mother still hanging around to manage her life for her...


(Yes, the airships are indeed cool.)

Very cool!

This picture makes me giggle so much. I particularly love the scarf around Anne's base.

And after this post I went and reread most of Pride and Prejudice, so that was good too. (I did keep imagining Miss de Bourgh as a brain in a jar, however.)

oh, that's perfect! The look on Colonel Fitzwilliam's face! Darcy looks vaguely embarrassed by his Aunt actually...
