Happy Holidays everyone!
My mind started working again this time with something to do with Isabel Neville, so I couldn’t help but put this idea into practice. The first time I knew nothing more than how I would like this costume to look, but as its design got a clearer contour, I thought of giving it a context. The year in which I think she could start with such a costume would be 1469, more precisely the Christmas festivities at the court of Edward IV.
Given the tension caused by the rebellion and the relationship between her father, the Earl of Warwick, her new husband, George of Clarence, and their King, Edward IV, Isabel could have been a little overwhelmed. She is quite young and a new royal duchess after her marriage to George, so I wished that, despite the circumstances of which she is a part, she would simply be brilliant!

I am just trying to represent the moment when Elizabeth Woodville appears in Reading to be presented as the queen and apart from the fact that this horse has squeezed half of my life (I don’t like to draw horses in particular), I can say that it is one of my favorite frames from the whole story! Elizabeth’s current design was entirely inspired by this illustration, which, by the way, I love so much !!
Well, that being said, let’s get back to work! The comic won’t finish by itself! (God, I need a break.)

While also working for this term’s project besides the Wars of the Roses, I thought it would be ideal to take into account the height of my main characters (because why not.) I hope that after I finish the other characters properly, I will better separate these elements.
The characters are as follows: Edward IV, Anthony Woodville, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, Richard Woodville, Jacquetta Woodville and Elizabeth Woodville.

“Try to find common ground between the two of you. Try to pay attention to what he likes”, they said.
“It’s going to be funny,” they said.

As is usually the case when I allow myself a few days off from my regular work, I have allowed myself to illustrate one of the many ideas that come to me during the days already loaded with so much work. This time I chose to illustrate this, I felt that it could not wait. I don’t think I’ll get over this obsession too soon, the father-daughter relationship between Edward IV and Elizabeth of York.
It seems to me that one of the qualities of Edward was the fact that he is an indulgent father with his daughters, even if there are days when his patience is put to the test!

The White Queen Girls
Debuting my new doll, I’ve done the women behind the War of the Roses (York versus Lancaster): Margaret Beaufort (The Red Queen), Elizabeth Woodville (The White Queen), and the Neville’s girls, Isabel and Anne (The Kingmaker’s Daughters) from the BBC’s namesake show.
Margaret was Henry VII’s mother, Elizabeth Woodville was the peasant who became a queen, Edward IV’s wife, and Anne Neville was Richard III’s queen. Isabel almost became a queen, she was the wife of George, duke of Clarence, Edward and Richard’s brother.
