Description
Dr. Henry Jekyll is an eccentric and charming scientist with a fascination for experimental medicine. Despite his social demeanor the “Good Doctor” maintains a wealth of secrets just beyond the public eye. Close friend and employer of Mr. Edward Hyde, Jekyll contributes his wealth of medical expertise regarding both common and unnatural medicine to the ranks of the Society alongside his partners.

Turning aside from her life in the English countryside at the request of the great Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, Ms. Luriana Abrams has chosen to see beyond what most do and fight an unseen battle with supernatural beings on behalf of humanity. An optimist grounded by the harsh reality of her world; her passion for others often conflicts with her sense of duty for the greater good.

Hey y'all! Ivy / Sapphire here with a brief announcement. Whew, its been.. *looks at smudged writing on hand* years! I hope you are all doing well.

About the Drawing:
- Within the canon of HIPS, this portrait is among many other commissioned pieces depicting members of the Veritas Society of Underground Hunters
- The room depicted here is Jekyll’s front parlour in his Leicester Square home
- Why the blindfolds? Cause it’s cool! (Also a nod to the ‘truth seekers’ theme of the Society, looking beyond what’s visible to the naked eye)
- The architecture and furniture of the room feature several small nods to the story of Jekyll and Hyde! Have fun finding them all
- The music box in the background is a gift from another well known gothic lit character....
- Luriana’s walking dress is a modern take on the natural form era dresses of the mid 1870s
- While they are not lit, the lights seen on the walls are gas powered. Gas powered lighting was a popular choice during the later 19th century because the lightbulb had not yet been marketed for widespread use at the time
