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 I settled down to sketch this.
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.

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!

:yuck:

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
:shiver:

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!
