Description
When she heard that I'd read The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer, *suburbanbeatnik asked me if I was going to do fanarts. I didn't thought I would, but her question inspired me. So, here you go: Charles Rivenhall and Sophy Stanton-Lacy at the end of the novel.Inked, for the first time, with a G-pen ~gianmac lent me; not as flexible as Hunt #108.
No philological fashion intended; I kept imagining Sophy as a Wildean heroine.

I'm not familiar with this novel, but this is a beautful drawing. I love the details on Sophy's dress and her curly hair!

I've read a few Georgette Heyers, and this drawing convinced me to pick up The Grand Sophy! I'm about halfway through.

I have never heard of the author but I think I would love the book, judging from your drawing

It's a witty love story set in the Regency. If you like the premises, it's great fun

I just bought one from my local store. My aunt recommended them to me - but they were
out of print until a few months ago

Gosh how elegantly and skillfully drawn.The fact that it is in black and white makes it even more interesting I think. Nice work!

The way you draw clothes will never stop to amaze me

Ah, well, in fact Sophy's robe here is not only philologically wrong - she should be dressed in early XIX cent. fashion - but also completely unreferenced
Thank you!

I like the drawing. It is one of your best compositions.
I have never heard of this story before.

Wow, really? Thank you, Doc!
Georgette Heyer [link] is a prolific writer of Recency novel, more or less in line with Jane Austen. The Grand Sophy was great fun to read, especially for the wit and energy of the main character.

Sta cercando le parole per chiederle di sposarlo, dopo averla mandata a quel paese per tutto il resto del libro.

I love you for drawing this, even if Sophy looks like she travelled back in time to vex Charles. But your inkwork is as lovely and expressive as usual! Good job!

Ahah, yes. I just wanted to draw them as I imagined them, and so here you have a bit of fashion mix. I leave philology to you

Philology? Isn't that... *looks up on wikipedia*... "study of language in written historical sources"? I don't know anything about that.

Since philology is a scientific study of literature, based on its historical aspects, the term is used in a larger sense also to mean "historical correctness", so to say that something is philologically correct means that it's based on serious researches. Your fashion drawings are philologically correct because you base them on contemporary paintings, and so on.
