Jane Eyre concepts

Description

Here I go again with another epic idea. I have been possessed by the new Jane Eyre film (which is flawless, Fassbender does the most growly Rochester EVER, sorry Toby Stephens).

And since I'm so unoriginal so in love with the book, I'm going to attempt to make a doujinshi based on the book. I'm still toying with the idea of just illustrating the Thornfield and Morton chapters, leaving Jane's childhood for brief flashbacks. I'm trying not to kill myself and maybe just compress things into 30-40 pages.

I just want to illustrate the many beautiful lines in the book and add on the creepy Gothic factor which the new film hinted at but did not fully bank on. I want to put in some gags but I don't know how people will feel about that...

Visually, I'm going to use the film as my guide (they cast perfectly), which is why my Rochester is a sad attempt at cartoonifying Michael Fassbender. I pushed Jamie Bell's already aristocratic face into more Grecian territory. His hair is impossible btw.

(I'm trying to go for a more Western style, like the amazing Kate Beaton but with the simple lines of Herge.)
