Mini art dump

I did sketches of all the young ladies (even the ones who rarely get drawn, like Rosie and Corky), but then I saw that they were too generically pretty and even with their individual features they still all still looked too much the same somehow. That's boring for me. Bertie, why didn't you hang out with more plain/odd-featured women? I still plan to draw the ladies, but I want to make their appearances a bit more unique and distinctive first, so that will have to wait a while.

Until then, have some Jooster.



First a scene from "Right Ho, Jeeves". Jeeves discovers the mess jacket, and he is not pleased. I usually ink first, then color, but this time I did most of the coloring first, with minimal cleanup, which is why it's less precise than usual.



It's usually taken for granted that Jeeves is taller than Bertie, but I've been thinking about it for a while now and based on what meagre evidence there is* I'm starting to think Bertie may be the taller one. So I decided to experiment with that for these next two pics. I'm really liking it. :)

*Bertie describes himself as tall, but says Jeeves is "tallish". Jeeves is referred to as tall in "Ring for Jeeves", but that's in a general sense, not in comparison to Bertie in particular.

Jeeves' face looks so priceless in the first one; Bertie will sure regret to have missed it ;)

All three pictures are truly marvelous, but, oh, the second one! Adorable. An almost kiss, so tender, the colors so warm and dreamy glowing. Creating such a caring, seductive atmosphere with only a few lines - great!

As for the last one,: pretty eye lock ;) Are they playing the eyesex-without-any-touch-thing? Whoever reaches out first is the receiving part tonight? XD (Also, the red gown reminds me strongly of a toreador rag...)

My two cent re Jeeves' high: Since I've started with the show and only afterwards rushed to the library to pick up the origin novels, I'm highly prejudiced... on the other hand, now that I'm seeing your arts, the idea sure has its charm. A bit odd (in a good sense) but still quite possible. In my inner J&W-verse Jeeves is still the taller one, I'm afraid, but in your arts it looks absolutely believable o.o"

Also, the ladies needs some love! I'm especially curious to see your versions of Honoria, being my favorite one among the wide assortment of his fiancées. And maybe Pauline. And Angela, though, I don't like her at all. And what about Aunt Dalia? As a lovely young girl with a hunting rifle? :)

Thank you!

Oh, he'll be seeing plenty of disapproval later.

The third one - yeah, it's basically flirty eyesex, but I haven't decided whether or not they're a couple yet in that picture. I'll leave it up to the viewer's discretion. ;)

I'm glad you find it believable despite your preferences. Canon's vagueness with Jeeves & Bertie's physical descriptions can be a pain sometimes, but I do like that it also allows for a variety of interpretations.

My sketch collection of the ladies had Florence, Bobbie, Madeline, Stiffy, Corky, Angela, Emerald, Honoria, Rosie, Nobby, and Pauline. I was going to stick with the ladies of Bertie's own generation, but I'll consider doing young Dahlia and Agatha as well. In the meantime, have you seen wotwotleigh's drawing of young Dahlia here (http://indeedsir.livejournal.com/993426.html)?
