I think this might be the closest to how I picture these characters in my head when I read the book. Well done!

Jane Eyre is one of my favorites! I don't know how many times I've read it... I absolutely love how you portrayed these characters! Their expressions and faces are perfect.
That is one awesome doodle.

This is probably the most true to the book representation of Rochester I've ever seen. I applaud this.

ONE GLORIOUS DAY!
It's on the list. Really, it is. If it kills me, I will make a comic.
And then I shall alert you to the fact.

Please alert me as well. God I wish I had time to draw without freaking out about whether or not I'm forgetting an assignment.

Will do! Any suggestions - favourite scenes and dialogue and whatnot?
I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I am trying so hard to be a good student right now, with the result being that the only remotely creative thing I've done in aeons is carve a pumpkin for Halloween.
GOD IT IS DEPRESSING.

Hmmm, I don't know, sometimes I like to imagine new scenarios for them, but my mind is mush and so low on creativity that I can't think of anything good. Something that really shows their personalities and relationship, though. I love how Jane is such a force to be reckon with, despite being "plain and little". I can see them having a small quarrel and Jane always coming out on top, and Rochester not minding much. I don't know. It's the best I can think of for now.
I can't wait for winter break, when I'll have some time to be normal before the madness starts up again.

This...is a good idea. I have pondered much the same. I will devote thought to it! And art if at all possible.
OMG WINTER BREAK PLZ.

Oh my gosh I know. I need a looooot of time to practice drawing again. It's been so long, I'm losing any skill I ever had. It's tragic.

fantastic style!!
I'm reading Jane Eyre, at the moment!
I have to say - it's a brilliant novel!! I am completely in love with Jane Eyre!! Why is it I fall for the FICTIONAL characters? ^_^'

Um...because they're awesome?
GAH, I know what you mean. I know *I* have a thing for Rochester about a mile wide.
What bit are you at? Have you seen any of the film/TV adaptations?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm just past half way into the book...
but i can't say what's just happened, incase someone reads it and it spoils it for them!!!!
Have you read Wide Sargasso Sea? By Jean Rhys?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
GAH, sorry. You've probably finished it by now!
Yes, I have read "Wide Sargasso Sea", and I loved it. I found it very dreamlike and disturbing... it reads like some kind of lush tropical nightmare.
I have a hard time connecting it with 'Jane Eyre' though, since the style and mood are so radically different. Rochester is practically unrecognizable as the same character.
I do recommend it though.

Wonderful designs! (I am such a sucker for these two!)

I LOVE YOUUUUU
ok sorry the stress is making me a little insane.
But this is awesome! Ok, I refuse to draw Rochester and Jane EVER again because you draw them in the perfect comic style.
*bows at your feet*

Arise, you great silly! Don't say that! You have to do your awesome comic thing one of these days, remember?
..but thank you. So. Much.
Yeah, I'm stressing out a little too right now with Finals, etc - Biology is kicking my ass halfway across the room right now. But chin up! *hugs*

oh my GOD, Japanese 201...it's a nightmare. I know I sound overdramatic but the particles are KILLING me! I just want out!
And I feel so crappy about my drawing right now. Honestly, your style is perfect for it.
I hate when my imagination can't be projected onto paper.

Squee! I'm re-reading Jane Eyre at the moment! \o/
I always imagine her as being very dark haired, but I think that's because my brain's been tainted by various tv adaptations that always went with a very dark haired actress.
*Anyway*, the eye colour you gave her and her facial structure in general is made of *win*

SQUEE INDEED.
Thank you! I'm glad a fellow fan approves!
I just remembered him saying "hazel eyes and hazel hair", so I went with lighter hair.
SOOOOO what's your favourite film adaptation so far?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, I dunno. I haven't seen one for ages, although when I studied the book in high school I watched about 6 in close succession XD
There was a really terrible one produced in the late 70s/early 80s where the actress playing Jane was about 35 pretending to be 18 and it was generally made of fail XD
There was a really good one made in ... 2002? 2001? 
Aanyway, I think I'm starting to ramble pointlessly, which means it's past my bedtime XD

I think so far I like the 2006 BBC adaptation the best (I think that's the one you're talking about)...Jane was perfect - but I sort of resent how they dumbed the dialogue WAY down. *humph* Where's Andrew Davies when you need him??
Yeah, I remember the one with the hair-cutting. Franco Zefirelli's, I think. That was... terribly uneven. He crammed the last third of the book into five minutes at the end, I seem to recall.
And there was one miniseries made in 1973 where they got Rochester (Michael Jayston) almost exactly right. The rest wasn't all that inspiring, but they did keep the proposal scene completely intact - points for that!

Wow you really captured those characters! I love your style too. Great book...

Thanks very much!
Isn't it? It's definitely my favourite Victorian novel.

My favorite is Dracula by Bram Stoker. You should check it out if you haven't read it. It's not dumb like most of the movies are hehe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually did read it - on Halloween three years ago! It was fantastic - genuinely scary!
I haven't seen any of the film adaptations - which one's the least worst, would you say?

That's awesome that you've read the book. Not many people have.
Well the only one I've watched all the way through was Nosferatu. I've read the plot summaries for the others though, and they like, mix up the characters and majorly change the plot and stuff. Nosferatu was the first Dracula movie made and it was a silent film haha. It was amusing, and not a bad movie overall, though the end is completly different.

I've got that on hold at the local library right now! Sure looks creepy... Werner Herzog always makes really strange movies.
I kinda wanna see the one with Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, though. Just 'coz it's Anthony Hopkins.

Actually, the Werner Herzog one i think was a remake of the original, which I was talking about. It was made in like the 1920's haha.
Yeah, I'd kinda wanna see that one too, and the Bela Lugosi one.
