Anyone here doing historical fiction?

Ah, I have been thinking, writing and drawing for a historical fiction myself:
What is more important for you? (And why if you want)
Depicting everything historically accurate or making changes (for example in the style of clothes) for the sake of beauty?

You summoned me?

I try to keep it historically accurate. To the best of my ability as well as doing my own creative liberties which is hard.

You can read it and judge it for yourself.

OMG YES!
I am obsessed with the 19th century, so I made one about 1800s Germany
(and, am planning on making a funny lil comic about Victorians, but I'm still work shopping that lol)

19th century???!

I’m sold! I subbed!

Yay!! We can be Victorian buddies!!

I totally did! And god, your drawing style is super cute!

I love everything about this. 1800s in germany seems pretty odd for me, since as a german I am usually not that interested in my own country I think. But I love the fact that you are. I will make sure to check it out!

God! I love your description, but this is kind of what I was hoping for. Getting a bubble with all the victorian stuff that I love so much myself.

Thank you so much. Here’s a Harry Houdini

And this

Harry Houdini is in Elsie as well as his wife Bess and his little brother Theo.

I’m also going to have Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla in it too.

In the first season I was going to have an episode where they visit Queen Victoria, but I cut that out because it slowed down the story. I certainly had so much fun drawing her though.

I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be in Elsie as well I just haven’t designed him yet.

Do you have any historical figures in yours?

Yep! Steampunk Superhero! I hope you enjoy Elsie.
