Description Catherine Legoix and Arnaud de Montsalvy from Juliette Benzoni's novel series "Catherine". I loved the TV series when I was about 14 and now after many years I stumbled upon the books and revived my sentiment for the story, even if it's sooooo old and a bit cheesy.

Something between realism and more comic-like style, because I wanted to poke a bit fun at the characters' love-hate relationship, they're hilarious sometimes and it was fun to draw them q:

I know the costumes aren't really adequate (it's somewhere during Hundred Years' War (1337-1453)), but I was too lazy to do a proper research.

Just a quickie done in Painter X, hope you will like it (:

Here via the link from The Illustrated Word. I like your style here! It works especially well with the expressions on their faces!

I loved the image. The persongens well exposed, perfectly match characters from a story I write.

Congratulations on the quality of work. XD... So good.

That's just... wonderful. The expressions are, of course, the best part, but Catherine's dress and Arnaud's hair take close second.

Cheesy books and movies are awesome! Like the 1940 "Pride and Prejudice"
I like the comment the last person made. "The do look as if they can't decide whether to kill or kiss each other!" Great piece.

O patrz, coś czego nie znam...
Wiesz, że bardzo komiksowo ci to wyszło? Kresk jest autentycznie komiksowa, i co chyba cię ucieszy, zupełnie już nie mangowa, bliższa typowo europejskiej. Chyba na dobre udało ci się wywalić mangę do kosza.
Aha, plusik za zróżnicowanie odcieni cery.

Ha, czyli czasami jeszcze udaje mi się zaskoczyć Cię czymś
Uwielbiałam serial, który nakręcono na podstawie tej powieści (nie wiedziałam nawet, że powstał także film pełnometrażowy, trzeba będzie go dorwać. Romansidło ci to straszliwe, ale i pocieszne, a do tego wciąga jak nie wiem. Choć w przypadku kwestii historycznych odpadłam - niewiele wiem o wojnie stuletniej... Na starość się człowiek sentymentaly robi i zaczyna wspominać różne rzeczy, nawet ostatnio o tym filmie myślałam, a tu proszę, jak na zawołanie wznowiono powieść.

Cieszy mnie to bardzo, chociaż wydaje mi sie, że mange to wywaliłam już dawno, niemniej jednak w stylistyce komiksowej czułam się i nadal jeszcze czuje niepewnie, bo widmo mangi gdzies tam w podświadomości straszy. O samej mandzie też czasami ciężko powiedzieć, gdzie ma swoje granice...
A no to oczywiste, wszak Kasieńka damą jest (choć niskiego urodzenia), musiała mieć cerę jako płatek róży
