Description
I once wrote a term paper on the role of correspondence in Pride & Prejudice (i.e. how inappropriate it was for an unrelated, unmarried man and woman to exchange a letter - in explaining himself Darcy did something potentially scandalous and therefore out of character; the role of the sending and receiving of letters to advance the plot, etc.)Ever since I've wanted to do something like this with the exchange of a letter as a centerpiece to the composition. If I ever do a final version of this the layout and balance needs to be corrected. And for some reason Lizzy came out looking very anime to me. And I'd like to include some sort of background.
Eh.
Kinda amazing I haven't posted more P&P art considering how massively smitten I am (and have been for the last, oh, decade or so...)

Amazing! I love the use of the letter to link to two sections. Fabulous work.

awww thanks! I really should do another/updated version of this. I still like the concept and i think it could use some exploration.

Because it was so inappropriate (which I didn't know, btw) I think that's why he asked her to destroy the letter after reading it (or was it just in the movie???). Love the picture <3

I love this! It reminds me of playing cards... (which, by the way, I would totally buy a set of playing cards if they looked like this...)

i am in love with this...i have been wanting a pride and prejudice tattoo..and actually love how this would look on my arm. lol would you mind if i did use this ? you are so talented. but if you do some changes i'd love to wait and see what else you come up with!!

are you kidding?! that would be awesome!!! the changes I was thinking of making were mostly adding a background, but if you want to adapt it into a tattoo it's probably better without! If you do so please send me a picture! I would LOVE to see it!!!

I have never thought about the letter sharing being scandalous before!
And yes, I am practically doing a handstand in my chair to see Mr. Darcy better.

haha, he came out worse than Lizzy, which is part of the reason he's upside down!

Nonsense. They both look great! This should be a real book cover!

Though you say some things need correcting, I already like this version a lot - I am sure fi you ever get back around to it, the end-result will be stunning! Still faving now, though, it deserves it

Beautiful work. I especially like not just the design in illustration but color differentiation of the two.

Absolutely Incredible! I love it! I also had never thought about how scandalous sending that letter was...ooh...Thank you!!! You've just added a little extra something to my enjoyment of the story!

That is AMAZING!!! I love the idea with the letter!!!!! One of my favourite books ever!

I love how they're connected by the letter, but they both refuse to acknowledge the other! It's perfect for their type of relationship!!!! Good job!
