👑Tudor history (My designs/SIX the Musical) 💜Open for requests in my fandoms!! 🐟More fandoms to be discovered… 💝Might start taking commissions?

[black---cube]

When will you do animatics for Tudor the kids?

Okay genuinely I've been thinking about this for really long. One of my goals this years is to make a animation video for these people (although it's gonna look like PowerPoint slides because I don't know how to animate). I have a few ideas so far (below cut)… Please let me know which one y'all want to see the most and/or if anyone has other suggestions!

Mary I & Elizabeth I

Elizabeth - first verse; Mary - second verse

Elizabeth POV

Or lowkey half the songs from Mayhem

The music video for this is so giving them

Elizabeth I & Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Stuart POV

Dude this just explains their whole dynamic (in my head)

Mary I & Catherine of Aragon

Mary POV

Anne Boleyn central

No explanation. This song is so her

Catherine of Aragon / Anne Boleyn

The two taking revenge on a certain man whose name shall not be mentioned

Silly little argument between the two

Isn't it “A” (Aragon)? Isn't it “B” (Boleyn)?

Catherine of Aragon / Anne Boleyn / Jane Seymour

Aragon POV

Oh boy back to my favorite trope where Jane casually eats Anne… And then Anne comes back alive and well as usual

[black---cube]

Hahaha my ship is so silly

“Who?” 😭🙏🥀

Happy death-day

Explanation below cut

The triangles in the background (a dark one pointing up that's a little difficult to see) along with the bird reference the fall of Lucifer, or if you consider the halo to be the sun they can also be a Icarus reference

I used the same colors as the January drawing for the face, but focusing more on the unnatural skin tone of a corpse

Originally I had the bird falling straight down and becoming entangled with hair & blood but it was kinda difficult to get it to work so I just changed it

Reference: Gustave Moreau, The Apparition

[black---cube]

Lowkey stuck but the goal is not for it to look good so f it we ball

[black---cube]

How it GENUINELY feels to draw Aragon x Boleyn x Seymour

You know that one old-cartoony joke of having a little angel and devil yapping around your head yeah that's how it feels like. Y'all two let the poor woman catch a break🙏

“There are two wolves within me. They're both telling me I'm going schizo”

Also my exams are over so yay

[black---cube]

Araleyn WIP

Same composition, today (1.5 hours) v.s. February (1 hour)

Not me disappearing for a month to lock in for exams (which I didn't) just to be drawing the week of✌️🥀

Reference: Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Ecstasy of Saint Teresa

[black---cube]

You got your mother's eyes

Mary POV perhaps

Tried drawing everything on one layer only and it went surprisingly smooth (only took 3.5 hours) although I did draw the scar on a separate layer because I got lazy

The black and white one is the original but I figured the colored one is more eye-catching so I put that one first

Might be too scary to post on Mother's Day 🙏

[black---cube]

Been living under a rock so I just listened to the full song of Fame is a Gun the first time last night and immediately thought that I needed to draw something for Boleyn. Also adding this to the list of possible animatic songs (Let me know if you wanna see it?🥹)

Couldn't decide on which variation to post so I'm posting all of them under cut

Tumblr doesn't let me copy&paste fancy fonts anymore. Boring.

[black---cube]

Me when I said I'm drawing something every month for vgen challenge and immediately brokethe promise not even 30 days later

February's theme was “rose” and there's just so much to do and I really couldn't decide on one thing to finish. Here's one of the sketches I had and I don't think I will be finishing it. Also I have some other projects with my OC's that I'm working on (maybe I'll post them here, maybe not) so yeah busy month

Supposed to be Anne Boleyn by the way😔🥀

[black---cube]

Just noticed that I haven't posted this one. It's from a month ago

Variations & explanation below cut

Created for VGen January challenge

[black---cube]

Reblogging because Tumblr doesn't let me save the editing for some reason. Said “we don't support this format” something like that

Also fixed some bugs in the background

[black---cube]

New option:

Anne Boleyn & Katherine Howard

Okay so sometimes I be thinking about how Anne's ghost is tormenting quite literally everybody and this would be a great example

White Swan

TW: Blood, cannibalism (inferred)

Still have no idea what I'm drawing, but I've always wanted to draw something like this since forever ago and finally am able to

Made her neck longer to give more swan vibes

Also it's really fun to do these random sketches without rendering and stuff so if you have suggestions on what I should draw next please send them in my ask box!!

[black---cube]

Don't stab ketchup with a knife…you'll regret it

TW: Blood

If I say this is Catherine of Aragon will I get beaten up🙏🙏

Can't even remember the last time I sketched/outlined with black

I'm just randomly tagging at this point. I don't even know what I'm drawing anymore. Originally I was gonna draw an AU or something but I haven't decided on the time period so I just lowkey started making things up

[black---cube]

“Us four make such a great team!”

Can't find a good font to add the translations onto the pictures so Imma just include them in captions

Some details explained below the cut

·The two Protestant queens are shown with their left hands while the Catholic queens are represented with their right hands

·Jane Grey and Mary Stuart have similar hand gestures (only reflected) to show their similarities (beheaded martyred queens)

·I used Elizabeth's coronation painting as a reference in her panel

·This serves as a really good comparison for all their skin tones in my HC's: Jane is pale, Mary Stuart has a reddish skin, Mary Tudor is a little darker

·Ironic enough in Mary Stuart's panel her hand is placed on the box where letters relating to her involvement in Elizabeth's assassination are kept

[black---cube]

Just realized it's been exactly 2 years since I drew my first (colored) design of Mary I (p3&4) so I'm finally writing down some of the details of her design!

Most recent drawing (November 2025)

The gradient in her hair from orange to reddish brown is actually a really important part of her design. She originally has orange hair as a kid (p2) but later it begins to turn to this dark red due to stress and stuff. I know it doesn't just make a gradient but bear with me here🙏 Also I wanted to make an obvious difference in hair colors although the 4 are all ginger

She has those classic pale & piercing blue eyes and they fit her vibes so well. They were more saturated in color when she was younger

Thin eyebrows (referencing her portraits)

Her hair style didn't change much. It's in a bun in the back, usually covered by her headpiece

The one on the right is a combination of the current and first designs. In the original design, she has clip-on earrings in the shape of a mirror and a candlestick (the Bloody Mary urban legend). I don't draw the earrings quite often because her hair just covers them up, but I like them a lot

Usually calmer than she appears to be, but she frowns a lot so the expression just kinda sticks on her face. Peak rbf

Older designs under the cut

Mary during her childhood (March 2025)

Her hair is orange like Elizabeth, only slightly darker than hers

For clothes I just copied a childhood portrait of her, but that's lowkey how I do all my designs

First designs (January 2024)

At this time I still had most of her designs based on SIX so it's like a costume version? Therefore I gave her a flaming crown and stage makeup

Me before I figured out how perfect (and more accurate) it'd be to let her have terrifying blue eyes

In my High School AU (as a cat)

eViL caT

Aragon needs to lock her in a room when the group meets up so she doesn't see Anne Boleyn. She finds a way to break out.

Silly (occasionally)
