Eighteenth Century Pics!

 Just to prove I have been working on my eighteenth century fic:



Emma




Emily

Did most of this during the last half hour of syntax seminar.  AgrP S and AgrP O, omg.

Nice pics

I love these drawings! The dresses are great.

I'm particularly impressed with the fence too.

Thank you muchly! I never realized how much i like designing dresses before these, though the shawl was particularly hellish.

And I'm very glad you like the fence!

For the sake of gathering information for the picture that I'm (eventually) going to draw for you, did you imagine the gothic mansion to have a fence similar to the one in Emma's pic? I was actually envisioning something with wrought iron and stone columns/walls. *blinks* Or maybe that's too overdone? >>;

Lovely pics though. ^^ I always find it interesting to see Emma with short hair. We never get to see enough of it. Excellent detail work on the shawl, by the way.

ha, no, that's just a random fence. I am very down with wrought iron and stone walls. Although, the story may actually take place in a rather more italian-style villa.

Have you read A Room With a View? I was thinking about the grand hedged-in villas that the expats live in, where they are *not* invited to tea.

But I love gothic mansions, so, either way.

Emma is very cute with short hair. And considering what they've done to her hair in the one i'm getting currently, a misdirected chakram haircut would not be amiss.

Thank you!

'A Room With a View'? Hm, no, I can't say that I have. Unfortunately, I've taken to reading so many required reading materials for school that I usually don't have time to read leisurely nowadays. With the exception of you, of course. I really do enjoy your work. <3 Nevertheless, forgive me for being a bit um... ignorant in that respect. ^^; You'll have to enlighten me.

But I can definitely envision grand hedged-in villas, yes. If I have time (hopefully somewhere in the near future), perhaps I can make another pic for you like that. ^^

A Room with a View is so awesome! (EM Forster) I do recommend it if you have a chance. There's also a really good movie version, accurate, which is my main criteria for movie versions of books, With Helena Bonham Carter when she was young, and round-faced, but with the same even more incredibly gravity-defying hair. And Daniel Day Lewis being awesome.
