#medieval costume
This is me being the 27-year-old that 17-year-old me dreamed of.
It was a beautiful day last Saturday, so John and I went out to Red Bluff at Black Rock in Victoria for a bit of an impromptu photoshoot by the beach. I’d never been there before and the rocks and view absolutely blew me away. I felt like I was in a fairy tale.

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.)

I just finished the design of Richard Plantagenet (the future Richard III) and so the York family is the first completed family in the whole family scheme that I set out to do! I did not know exactly what kind of clothing would suit a twelve-year-old child who is supposed to be part of the royal family (given that the action of the first volume takes place in 1464), so I allowed myself to create a much more mature image, probably around seventeen, eighteen? Well, an adult, if we follow medieval standards! The finality of this part of character design excited me so much that I made them their own height scheme and a simplified family tree (because why not?)
PS: I’m usually not very impressed with what I create, but in this case, I can’t take my eyes off of Richard, the Duke of York! lol

Although few representations of her exist and even if the most popular one is found in the Talbot Shrewsbury’s book, I thought I would illustrate Margaret de Anjou as we see her in the Coventry tapestry, a representation that I especially adore!
Thus, we have a beautiful and especially strong Queen in the foreground and a little further back is… her incredibly devoted husband! XD

“On Michaelmas Day, 29 September 1464, the King formally presented his new bride to his subjects, or at least as many of them who could gather in and around Reading Abbey. There ‘Lady Elizabeth was admitted into the abbey church, led by the Duke of Clarence and the Earl of Warwick, and honoured as Queen by the lords and all the people.”

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!

PENNSIC IS COMING!
As some of you know, I have a lot of feelings about Pennsic.
Like, a lot. And I’m SO excited. I can’t wait to settle into that busy chaos that makes my head silent. I can’t wait to see the mist on the lake, in the morning, and hear the beat of the drums at night.
I am ready.

I have to say, ArmStreet photoshoots are a whole new experience! After 2.5 years of working for them (I work in marketing/ content), I’m finally getting up close and personal and seeing how things work. Once you’re here, it’s easy to see how the sheer quality of everything is upheld to such a high standard. It’s amazing. I’m currently in day two of our four day photoshoot, and I’m exhausted but excited – Ukraine is an amazing place and I love the people I work with!
