Description Princess Chiêu Thánh.

Real name:Lý Phật Kim/Lý Thiên Hinh, later became Empress Lý Chiêu Hoang

She was the youngest princess of the last Lý dynasty of the ancient Vietnam (Great Viet), in the Kiến Gia era, from 1217 to 1224 till her father King Lý Huệ Tông became mentally ill and she was forced to success the throne in the year of seven, when King Lý Huệ Tông didn't have any male heir.

She was a young child with simple heart, like every princess in the same era, however had to bear a big burden from her weak father and the whole royal family. She was small, but she knew well enough that a little girl like her couldn't rule over a country, which was the home that she loved so much. Before being throned, she always wanted to be a normal princess for the last minute and tried to persuade the royal court, but she didn't have even the right to say anything yet making decisions. She became more sorrowful when she knew the truth.

Sunflowers just want to live as sunflowers, following the sun for their entire life, not being the sun themselves.

Princess Chiêu Thánh was a little girl with kind heart. She also received the beauty from her mother that could even put lilies to shame. She had a great love for her home country that she wanted the best for it. Her characteristic was calm but smart enough to know the reality that she was not suitable for the name Empress.

This picture presents Princess Chiêu Thánh right before she had to success the throne, when she still was a princess. The sun stands for the name Empress while the moon stands for the name Princess, which was being destroyed. The expression on her face shows she didn't want to be the sun. Her sleeve embraces the moon gently, as longing for being who she had been.

Another pic that includes her=>[link]

I tried to design a formal royal princess-soon-to-be-empress in this pic from resource I have been collecting so far, but fail terribly, first thing is that I don't know which texture to add and too lazy to draw pattern. Secondly, I realize that I really have no sense of colors T___T...

The outfit seems so modern.

Wonderful concept, knowing a bg story to it, makes it even more interesting. The drapery is again
pretty amazing. What bothers me a bit is the bottom of the image, which kinda seems enforcedly fit on the page. I mean the paper size probably was too small and you saved it by letting the clothes fall to a certain area, so the image wouldn't be cut at the bottom?

Not really, I intended to let the outfit scatter around her but I'm not good at drawing clothes so it seems weird

The real princess herself in our ancient history, she was the first and (kind of) the only Empress ^___^.
