This is Louise, another character from a story that I'm working on..and I'll probably never write..(I suck at writing)

She is a prostitute and works with Charlotte [link] in a "house". She kinda a rival to her who is a new girl in the "buisness" and she was, well until recently, the madame's favourite girl.Oh, and she is a bitch..
Her face is loosely based on Emmanuelle Beart (veeeery loosely)

you might remember her from [link]

let me know what you think

art and character by me

In the other picture (on the swing) she reminds me more of Emmanuelle Beart. Looks nice :)

I find your story very interesting. There was a dignity involved with your era. I also find older days of prostitution interesting, like Renaissance Rome, where they were very significant to the upper class (and even supported by The Vatican). Only until very recently has it become illegal in the US (1910). I think it should be legal. Not pimps and hookers on the streets, they make it dangerous. But regulated (safe) courtesans or brothels. I wouldn't go to those, but prostitution is always going to be here (world's "oldest profession"), so take the danger out of the streets. If people don't like the idea, don't go to them. Just the same as the stay away from them on the streets now.

Sorry if I've seemed too preachy and wrote too much, but these characters of yours are cool and made me think of that.

No worries!I understand you
I thought of drawing something about venice's courtaisans but then I thought that the interesting thing about the victorian era is the contrast between the prudery on the one hand and the brothels on the other

I'm glad you like my story! :)

Prudery vs brothels is just as interesting. Perhaps you can try Venetian courtesans in another story (also it would be cool to see how you drew them :nod:).

I should specify, though, that even though I support regulating it and say to just stay away if one doesn't like it, I know that there has always been an ugly and abusive history. Even today what they do to young girls in Bangkok is horrible and they need helped! The tourists who go there for that are horrible and encourage it more.
