THE TON IN GEORGETTE HEYER'S NOVELS
Introduction
Most famously known for her Georgian and Regency period romances, Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) is easily one of the best-loved authors of today. Through her books, we enter the world of Lords, Ladies, assemblies, and snuff; in other words, the world of the nobility in the Regency England, the Upper Ten Thousand, or as it is known more popularly by all fans of Heyer the 'Ton'.
Beginning with The Black Moth, which she wrote at the age of seventeen to amuse her younger brother, Heyer's popularity only grew and from 1921 to 1972, she wrote and had publ

I've always been interested in working with color but I need guidance :\ I like reading, sleeping, watching anime, studying and cooking :)
So I'm on the prowl to join nice group to feature my drawings, and I've had a few experiences quickly joining and leaving the groups.. which is mainly because of the overall unmanagable crowds of people in them and the whole thing getting out of hand, good groups seem to have extreme snob written all over them!
lots of complaints can be seen from people who's art has gone unaccepted or rejected without reason and a general flux of people leaving, annoyed because of bad management. I'm not misunderstanding that admins are hard pressed for time, but there's no harm in getting more people to help. Also, some groups are overwhelmingly ignored. q
Ah my first request, from a friend on facebook is for a picture of miroku and sango which i should hopefully do next week and put up.
another friend has requested fairy tail, so grey's on my list too.
aside from them, there's a kenshin pending :D
thats 3 already =_=
I've done enough clamp art to last a lifetime but i never get tired of it. wanted to try a pic from xxxholic sometime :)
well there's also a request for a raikiri or a rasen shuriken which im doubtful of being able to do so..
what do i do first @_@
get on blogger or wordpress and post ur drawings and sketches... introduce ur art to friends and people who are interested in art... make ur own circle of art loving people.. try satirical artwork for papers, if u dont like tat, write to young times and stuff.. they seem to help people a lot.. dont waste ur time trying to find genuine art interested people on the net in groups or chat rooms... and when u get to blogger or wordpress, make it look nice and atractive.. no ads so tat its all about u... u dont need a group to help u.. u might as welll make ur stand urself... and colours? its like how they say, when u do the tango, there is no worry of making a mistake.. u get tangled up and tango on... take photocopies of ur sketches, colour them at will.. try different combinations and see what u like... you are your own mentor.. good luck and god speed... ~Vijay Velayudhan...
