I’m glad you enjoyed my art and that it inspired you to draw too! Designing them in my style has been a fun challenge. 

I have always had a design for Jane in my mind years ago, but Rochester was a tough case. I suppose I’m not that great at visualizing men. So I based his appearance of two actors who have played him, Michael Jayston in the 1973 BBC miniseries and Yngve Gasoy-Romdal in the 2018 German production of Jane Eyre the musical. 

So yeah, I basically slapped Yngve’s face onto Jayston’s head, and made his hair and eyes darker, and thicker eyebrows to be more faithful with the book. Using real human reference comes in very handy when you have a stylized art style. 

Jane and Rochester are supposed to be unattractive, and that bit is a bit challenging for someone with an anime-ish art style like me to portray, as anime characters are mostly very conventionally attractive, unless they’re a side or background character, or a comic relief one. So I decided that attractiveness is purely objective, and focused on making them give off as much weirdo vibes as possible. 

The reason you thought Jane looked lowkey unhinged in my other art is because I gave her these big, upturned cat eyes with slight hints of an eye bag underneath. If you look closely you’ll notice that her irises are those of a cat, not a very realistic feature choice for a human girl, but I think it works for my art style. The upturned eye shape helps with making her look pretty elfin, and the slight eye bags give her that lowkey thousand-yard stare. Something you’d expect from a girl who was considered a freak throughout her childhood and mistreated as such. 

As for Rochester, aside from the features I very evidently ripped off from the aforementioned actors, I also added a few liberties of my own. I used thick, bold lines for his eyes, partly a tribute for Jayston’s guyliner in the 1973 miniseries, but mainly to make him appear grim and goblin-like. His irises are colored in pure black, which should help with the impression. And of course, added some lines around his eyes because he is an almost 40yo man. Overall, I tried to make him look as impish as possible, similarly to how I wanted Jane to appear elfin. 

One thing about drawing in this anime-ish art style is that while you get to exaggerate some features that otherwise wouldn’t be possible on a realistic human being (Jane’s cat eyes and Rochester’s pitch-black irises), is that your characters tend to appear much younger than their age like you had said. Personally, I think I had gone for the boyish route for Rochester, considering my old design of him (which I made when I was like, 14) made him look much more serious and stern. I find him acting like an angsty teenage edgelord every now and then, if not a lovestruck schoolboy during their honeymoon phase, so to me at least he seems kinda boyish. 

To end this longer-than-I-initially-expected post, allow me to introduce you to the 2018 Jane Eyre das Musical cast album. Everyone knows the book, very few of them know the musical, and even fewer know about its German production, but alas. There almost isn’t any video recording online (there might be some in the circles of dedicated musical traders, but I’m not entirely sure), but its whole cast album is on Spotify and Youtube, and considering they included even the spoken dialogues in it, you can still comprehend the story easily. That is, if you know German of course, but you can always cross-reference the lyrics in the Broadway cast album. 

Their break up song (kind of), aka after Jane found out all about Bertha and told Rochester she’s gonna leave him. Here you can audibly hear Rochester breaking down into sobs before being followed by Jane doing the same thing. Beautiful stuff. My two sad pathetic wet cats ♥

My Favorite Mayerling Kisses (with Dishonorable Mentions)

This is just my personal opinion. All clips are kept at original speed. Pls inform me of location/dates where they are missing or if they’re incorrect. Thanks <3

• Dishonorable Mentions:

Mark Seibert & Fredrik Andersson (Essen 2015)

Did Mark just headbutt Fredrik??? What the heck was that? It lasted less than 1 second. At least as it looks like a power move on Der Tod’s part? And Mark looks cool, too. But there’s not a lot of intimacy.

Máté Kamarás & Lukas Perman (Osaka 2007)

This is so funny, I love it! But I couldn’t put it into the “favorites” list for obvious reasons. Did they lose the gun? Why is there a knife? They were so discombobulated they forgot the KISS (which is what I’m ranking lol; so this technically shouldn’t be here). I adore the way Lukas arches his back after the stab, and the how Máté drops him like a rag doll. This video is a gem. As a Mayerling it gets 100%, but as a kiss it gets a 0%.

• Favorites (least to most):

8. Thomas Borchert & Lukas Perman (Trieste 2004)

It’s a concert, so they have minimal space, but the kiss is still very good. The head tilt and going straight for the lips? Holding Rudolf by the waist??? Love it! (And more so because of Nautilus das Abenteuermusical brainrot, but that’s not the point).

7. Mark Seibert & Martin Markert (Essen 2012)

I HAVE to give Mark some credit, he has some good kisses in there (despite what some people say lol). This kiss is direct and long with no hesitation. And grabbing Rudolf by the neck is a unique power move, low-key. Usually it’s waist or upper-back. Love how Der Tod aggressively yanks Rudolf’s neck back after the kiss lol.

6. Felix Martin & Thomas Harke (Vienna 1998)

That kiss is so passionate. Felix is GOING IN! And you can actually see Rudolf kissing back this time, which is nice. I have an inkling the kiss would’ve been much longer if the gun hadn’t gone off so soon. You can’t hear the audio (because it’s a gif) but I heard it while making the gif lol. Trust me, they kissed even after it went off.

5. Oliver Arno & Martin Markert (??? 2011)

I’m OBSESSED with the way Oliver gently inches his hand from the gun barrel down to Martin’s hand. It brings back some fluidity I miss from Uwe’s og Vienna kisses. The kiss is similar to Mark’s (from number 7): direct, lengthy, and on the lips. But this time Rudolf is held at the waist.

4. Lukas Mayer & Dennis Hupka (China 2024)

The return of the Mayerling Kiss after years of missing it. And in CHINA of all places. Iconic. The way Lukas grabs Dennis’ head so hard that his whole body starts swaying lol. And the kiss isn’t brief, it’s like Tod is devouring Rudolf’s face.

3. Máté Kamarás & Lukas Perman (Vienna 2003)

Lukas really went to the LIMIT on this one. I’ve been mostly talking about Der Tod, but Rudolf really stole the scene this time. Excitedly grabbing the gun, laughing, and pulling Tod into the kiss is brilliant. 10/10. And I like how Máté doesn’t immediately let go of Lukas, but slowly glides his palm across Lukas’ chest first lol.

2. Uwe Kröger & Jens Janke (Vienna 1994)

That kiss is UNBELIEVABLE. It’s like Der Tod was taking five large gulps of water after being in a desert for a month. And the HANDS- I can’t even describe it…wow. I love how Jens kinda slides forward and Uwe is like- WHOA- and backs up. I feel like the Mayerlings increasingly got more stiff as time went on. Love how fluid everything is here.

1. Uwe Kröger & Andreas Bieber (Vienna 1992)

Not the one from the pro-shot (I like it better zoomed-out). Uwe Kröger is the best kisser in Elisabeth, no question (in my opinion). The fluidity in his Mayerlings is unbeatable. The dress and the graceful aura are everything. I love how he slides his hands up Andy’s body and then to the gun. The way Andy arches his back during the kiss and recoils when the gun goes off is PERFECT. I think more Rudolfs need some spine action.

[fufferrrrrrr]

It definitely is! Normally I'm a stickler for adaptations that go as close to the source material as possible, but that scene is one of the few changes I actually adore

[fufferrrrrrr]

I heavy referenced the 1973 version for the outfit, as for the dialogues they were taken directly from the book (that being said I was definitely referencing Jayston for the fire scene Rochester, as I still can't get over how much of a pathetic sopping wet cat he looked like)

[fufferrrrrrr]

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

[fufferrrrrrr]

I was indeed inspired by Miachael Jayston and Sorcha Cusack when I made my Rochester and Jane designs! 1973 is easily my favourite adaptation

one of the Moments of jane eyre is when jane is conflicted about st john rivers' offer and calls for a sign from god about what she should do and then she fucking hears mr. rochester calling for her in her head and immediately makes up her mind to Go To Him after a year and says she's coming and asks where he is and a while after she reunites with him he goes "oh yeah one time a little bit ago I was so anguished that i cried out your name and I actually heard you answer back. you said you were coming and asked where i was. crazy how that happened because it's not like you could have actually heard me or anything" and then she just tells The Reader that she knows that somehow she Really Was Answering Him but then she also goes "...y'know what I don't think he can handle that information right now so i'm just gonna keep that to myself" and then it's just never fucking brought up again
