The Legion Of Substitute Dead Disputed Queen Detectives. An idea that i had a while ago that didn't happen (because there wasn't room in #1 and then the International Queens happened for #2) but done for a commission just to get the idea down on paper. Left to right: Boudicca, Empress Matilda (or Maud), Lady Jane Grey and Mary Stewart (AKA Queen Of Scots). Pen/brush and ink on A5 Bristol Board.
Boudicca made me laugh and so did Jane XD I don't know why CX But, yeah, I always call Jane Queen Jane because there are documents signed by Edward VI saying she was his heir so technically she was Queen... for 9 days...
No real reason, other than the idea of her being a very short, very cross woman bordering on the psychotic amused me for no apparent reason. Also since she's the only one so far that we have no historical record for what she looked like (although that's nearly true of Matilda too) I gave myself a lot more leeway to play with her than with the others. But mostly it's just because that's the image that sprung into my head.
