#medieval romance
Ever wanted to know how we develop our characters? Take a look at these early drawings of Cordelia from Courting the Crown. Our original concept was to make her an old male wizard, but as the story developed, we decided that making her a young woman gave her more agency, and opened up more possibilities for her in both Courting the Crown and future stories. What do you think? Did we make the right choice?

The Boy King
It is strange, Daenerys thinks, as she watches the man slowly approach, the horse treading lightly despite its rider wearing heavy armour, how one boy can command a country. But then he stops before her, and he removes his helmet, and as curls black as sod tumble down his young face, she suddenly knows how.
A few weeks back @dracoignisworld has spoiled me with this beautiful story and of COURSE I had to illustrate it!! If historical romance is your thing go and read it now. It’s honestly incredible
