Olivia

9/25/2011

 
Picture
I still have not gotten around to the clothes, but since I made Buster, I thought I ought to round out the household (as it were). The Hunters have a nurse/housekeeper named Olivia. She's a free woman, a recent widow, and she doesn't particularly care for the way the master of the house comports himself. She is, however, devoted to Emmaline and the two make good companions.

I put Olivia in a simple chemise, corset, and pantalettes common to the period. She's not a slave and although she is a servant, she has nice underthings and takes pride in her appearance.

One thing missing here that I will probably have to digitally insert for the .pdf version because I totally forgot it when I was drafting the character is that she ought to be wearing a locket ~ and article of some significance much farther down the line.

It occurs to me that if I make tags for all of these characters, the list will be endless, so I am reserving the tags for the principal characters only.

Also, I think Weebly does strange things to the sizing on these images when I upload the pictures and I can't figure out how to make it quit, so I don't trust that things are "to scale" here on the blog. They will definitely be to scale on the .pdf versions.

It is so fun to see your original work up again. I love them all, but I couldn't really comment on them all. The dog is amazing. The chest hair is amusing. Your men, as always, are manly (unlike my men who look... well... they have gender identification issues). I love the shine on Olivia's corset and her beautiful eyes.
