Description
Updated Aug. 2015Serious Mr. Darcy and witty Miss Bennet are my most beloved fictional couple. I've liked them since primary school, when I saw a play of Pride and Prejudice the older kids put together. I drew them for the first time in 2006, so you see, they were overdue for a makeover.

Dear me! Not bad at all!
Some initial reflections. Regardless of my political qualms about any professed admiration of Austenian social setting, almost everything in this work resonates so much more deeply than before, and the quality is from a different planet compared to the earlier one - which, as I think I must have written, I already found to be very reliable, visibly high-quality work.
The Darcy figure has turned into a Colin Firth -influenced (I don't mind at all 
Questions of taste always remain. The earlier piece was very light and devoid of warmth. This one's dusky and also emotionally darker. The previous one was clearly an also technically lighter piece. This present version is full of everything, which is more daring; partly because it's options of seeking refuge in sketchiness are slim. Thus, a heavily, multilayered contrast between lightness/heaviness. I think some might see the virtues of the lighter piece, but I'm still all for this more robust remake with its hazy background. It's warmer, more flickering and unpredictable now.

Thank you, Iohannis. I'm happy that you think there's a big difference in quality. It's the best compliment. Yes, you are very right, new Darcy was influenced by Colin Firth (and a little by Matthew Macfadyen.)

Elizabeth is perfection, and Darcy's stance is so very him; I can't find anything wrong with it, even after staring for five minutes

I love the whole Regency atmosphere to this piece. Elizabeth and Darcy are my favorite Austen couple and you portrayed them perfectly.

Ginny, this is incredible. I think you've just outdone yourself!
Even though I still think that the picture from 2006 is really good, the new one just beats all standards.
The critique people gave you is true, even though I personally wouldn't notice myself (maybe the details and the hand, though) and the changes you've made are gorgeous.
I totally adore adore how you did the faces and the clothes. They're so complex yet simple because of the mild colours! The textures work marvellously, and the expressions of the faces are so lively.
The bg is incredible, it's so detailed yet it doesn't steal the attention from the heroes. And the candelabra is so pretty!
Overall I think this picture could simply go into the book
You've really made me want to reread the book!
