I've been in a P&P fanart mood since I started playing around with photoshop/photobucket/picnik months ago. I'm not very good, but I tried, lol. I followed Lady Catherine's advice and practiced and well, it's been fun especially when I'm bored and I tend to get some ideas on which still images of Elizabeth & Darcy ( Keira & Matthew ) to use and manip. Some turned out ok and some turned out actually good that I ended up also doing a few Jane & Bingley ( Rosamund Pike & Simon Woods ) manips . I only intended to do Darcy & Lizzie manips , but I also love Jane & Bingley too...so I thought I might as well...What do you all think? Hope you like them... Anyway, here are some of the random P&P manip arts I've made recently...
