Description
The Tiffany lamp leaned closer to the standing lamp as he reclined back with a cigar. She had had rather more champagne than the others at lunch and was feeling very convivial. The same could not be said of the Chinese latern. He was distincly uncomfortable with caddish behaviour of the Art Deco lamp whose company he was forced to endure. He would have much prefered to be seated next to the nice floral lamp who was sitting primly across the room. The aged Victorian lampshade was admonishing the young desk lamp. Behind the group butler, a former banker, and maid began to serve the afternoon tea.
----------------------------------------------------------
All these lamps are based on real historical examples. It was fun hunting down all the references for this. A3 done in various pencil grades.
This is a reworking of an old idea here .Β
DD Edit: Surprise of the day, scrolling through day's DDs and saw this featured there. I never thought I'd get a DD on the day the picture was submitted. Massive thanks to ^deshrubber for the feature. I've only recently gotten back into the swing of drawing in the last couple of months.

I think that both the idea and executin are very good! It must've taken quite some time... I also like the way the lamp model corresponds to the social status of each individual...

Thanks
It took a lot longer than it should have because I watched iView documentaries and about half of Digimon Tamers whilst working on it.
I'm glad you think the lamps match their fashion choices well. That was part of the fun, working out what would suit them.

Sconces will be served later.
Looks great.

Well, I guess if this party gets wild later on they'll be saved the trouble of having to put lampshades on their heads...oh, God, that was lame!Β My poor attempt at humor aside, this is fascinating. Β

I'm sure they'll find something else to put on their heads. Or they'll just take of their shades and let their bulbs stand naked.

Their drinks may not be palatable to humans. Of course there is the question of how they even drink without mouths...

You just blew my mind!Β You could write a story based on this called "I have no mouth and I must drink!"
