Lady and Miss De Bourgh take some air
My next Prompt: "the characters from a fandom, in steampunk gear..Pride and Prejudice! Or Temeraire".
Unfortunately, the only characters I can think of good in-character steampunky ideas for are minor ones like Wickham or Mr Bennet, though the idea of regency steampunk is really interesting in general. But I was inspired to make a picture of Lady Catherine and Miss Anne De Bourgh which I think came out quite well. Now that that's out of my system I might be able to draw someone else. Maybe I'll give Temeraire a go instead. And of course there's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
black_samvara's prompt, which I *am* inspired by, I just have some details I'm nutting out.
EDIT: Wait, I just noticed the sentence "Or as cats". HMMM.
Looking at 18th century vs 19th century technology (P&P was written around the turn of those centuries), I decided the main difference was how unfinished everything looks, since they're just figuring things out as they go along. So I decided to try to get that across. Also it was fun mimicking the art style of the time. I accidentally scanned the image in at a really low resolution :(

I recommend not looking too closely sat the workings of the carriage :)
