Portrait of a fantasy Queen made for a novel. The client wanted the portrait to be inspired by classical Renaissance Royal portraits, with a huge emphasis on symbols and rich materials. The Dragon and Sword on her corset are inspired by the emblem of her kingdom. The crowd was designed according to floral patterns dear to the character. The flower patterns can also be found on the cape’s golden design, as well as on her rose earring. Blue flakes invoke the magic powers manifesting around her.
This work is the first part of a diptych: the other half features the portrait of her King husband.
