Description
For , second winner of 'chase down some Hermann Mejia Mad issues for me' deal.He asked for 'Pride and Prejudice' as his movie for his lovely missus.
6 hours of viewing later
Ended up a strange mixture of cartoon and portraiture and I'm not sure I was quite successful with either but the characters are fairly recognisable so all is not lost!
Pencil sketch, tinted in photoshop.

Off to the left. This was just before the attack. You need to pick your moments with these things

Research is important! Always like to get a feel for a character, expressions they like to use etc before drawing someone.
Cheers mate!

Ok, so I want to thank you Dave for making me blow large periods of time when I should be doing something else! After the BZRK ad, and my favorite witch, I now have to download and blow up every drawing you post just so I can scrutinize it for secret hidden Easter eggs! Even when it appears there is nothing hidden, I still have to do it "just in case".
Keep up the amazing work my friend! I was crazy before I discovered your art, and I wasted time too, so I really can't blame you.

Oh, DO blame me - everyone else does! That mess in the middle east? All my fault. Global warming? Ditto. Missing paper clips? I took them. Miss matched socks? Just me messing with your sock drawer!
Cheers buddy. Just dont bill me for your missing time!

i think you did rather well, me friend
*kxy definitely made a good choice to take
advantage of your talents
personally though, i'd have chosen Serenity
or Sense and Sensibility :heh:
kinda odd thinkin of you and jane austin in
the same context, though

Loopydave In reply to Daellus [2011-06-02 16:29:14 +0000 UTC]
Serenity would have been a blast (firefly is one of my favourite series!!!). Pride and Prejudice was an interesting challenge and it wasn't something I felt I could go a little 'loopy' on so I kind of just played it pretty straight.
Cheers!

After the first 3 hours of the movie I WAS the zombie
I heard a rumour they were doing that version as a movie soon. Could be fun!

Mr Bennet was played by an english actor named Benjamin Whitrow, but I can see the resemblance there!
