Okay so you remember that drawing of that girl in a blue rococo dress? Yeah I made another one, this time with Marie Antoinette.

To be perfectly honest the thing I was dreading the most was her updo but it was surprisingly pretty easy to draw and color and stuff. I think maybe I was dreading it because I've never drawn hair piled up like that before so there was a whole "NEW THING IS NEW AND THEREFORE SCARY WAH" thing going on there. I actually had a lot of fun drawing her hair and putting all those things in it. Ribbons and jewels and roses agh I wanna draw more hairstyles like this.

I think the hardest part was all the jewelry I gave her. So. Many. Pearls. In the sketch I thought it was a good idea but then I went to ink and color it and augh I wanted to stab something it took so long, especially that bracelet with the roses on it. I do like the little rose cameo earrings and hair ornament. I was going to have one on her choker instead of the rose but I liked the rose better on her neck than in the middle of her head so I swapped the two items and stuck roses on the sides of her head. And on the bows on her sleeves. If I'd drawn a full-body version of this outfit I'm pretty sure I'd have added roses to her skirt and shoes too. I kind of wanted to add feathers but her hair already went off the top of the image and I thought having one or two sticking off to the side would look weird of course looking at it now that would've looked good...

She looks really good in pink, I think it complements her eyes well. I did try to give her hair a powdered look but it's already such a pale blond you can't really tell I tried that.

I think the next one in this set I'll draw is Yolande, Duchess de Polignac. Gonna get all the girls finalized then work on the two leading men. Also I just have more fun with the crazy dresses and hair. It's just a "having fun outside in the spring of 1770-something" kind of set, nothing in particular. It's mostly to get a better feel for the characters as they'll appear in the comic. Ely's pretty carefree, Marie's a sweetie pie, Yolande is... the fun-loving one, probably. I don't know, I'm still working out how I want her to act in the comic without straying too far from what's known from history (since it's alternate history I can get away with some things, I think).

Here's the first one in the series fav.me/d8guy8n
