Live in consort Monster AU, Queens

Another batch of monster designs for @redladydeath 's Live in consort thing, this time for the Queens

I didn’t add Mary I and Elizabeth because I’ve already designed them

Matilda - Wyvern

Matilda is a dragon but to be specific a wyvern ( a dragon with winged front limbs instead of four limbs plus wings)

With this in mind I based her anatomy on pterosaurs, to be more specific Azhdarchid pterosaurs (the HUGE ones like Quetzalcoatlus)

She was also called a 'She-wolf' so her ears and the scales around her neck reflect that

Lady Jane Grey - Gorgon

I’m using @arty-e​ design for Lady Jane Grey as a base for Gorgon!Jane

Gorgons are closely related to lamia's, but they have many differences, mostly the snake hair and stone-vision

Jane is terrified of petrifying people (even though they'd change back after she turns back into a human) so she wears a blindfold when in gorgon form, which causes PTSD to her execution, which is no fun

Mary and Anne - Selkies

Selkies in this universe have two forms

A full pinniped form (pinniped just means all seals, sea-lions and walrus's)

and humanoid form, which mostly human but with pinniped features

Mary is a sea-lion because sea lions are more social than seals and Mary was the more outgoing sister

Anne is a leopard seal, solitary and mysterious

Victoria - Spider Monster (Drider/jorogumo etc.) 

Vicky looks like a Hazbin hotel character

Being a spider monster, she spins webs and liquefies her prey from the inside out, hence the split lower jaw

Her transformation is like Anne's, because spiders molt their outer exoskeletons

She's part black widow, part goliath birdeater...which is a problem for Albert

What was your relationship with your queens such as elizabeth I, Victoria and queen Anne??? Love your art by the way amazing ❤❤❤

“My relationships were... varied.”

Mary (Anne’s sister) was apt to think that Anne was too easily swayed by others, although, somewhat paradoxically, she also complained of her stubbornness, a character trait that manifested itself at an early age. As an adult Mary liked recalling an occasion when they had been walking in the park and began arguing about whether a distant object was a man or a tree. Mary insisted it was a man, and, as they drew closer it became apparent that she had been right. Mary demanded, “Now, sister, are you satisfied that it is a man?” But Lady Anne, after she saw what it was, turned away and persisting still in her own side of the question, cried out, “No, sister, it is a tree.”

Queen Anne: The Politics of Passion by Anne Somerset

One thing I love about the movie ‘The Favourite’ is that regardless of the gender of the Monarch and their ‘favourites’  the story is always the same. The same thing could happen with a King and his mistresses (think Charles II. Nell Gwynn putting laxatives in Moll Davis’ food to incapacitate her, or the different political and religious persuasions of his mistresses) or a King and his male favourites (James I and Buckingham. Edward II and Piers Gaveston.) No matter of your gender, if you get close to the monarch, you can be given immense power and benefits. You can earn their love and manipulate them. But as with anyone with power, you can’t get there without making enemies, and you can be torn down as quickly as you’re brought up. Its the same story told in a really different way, with historical figures we so rarely hear about. Whether Anne and Sarah or Abigail did have that kind of relationship or not, ‘The Favourite’ is, in my opinion, a really interesting movie.

Fashion & Queen Anne

The Queen’s wardrobe accounts do suggest she had the most beautiful clothes. In the first year of Anne’s reign, for example, Mrs. Clifton the Queen’s manto maker made her at least twenty-eight mantoes. These garments, whose names derives from the French word “manteau,” meaning coat, were loose silk overgowns with trains that were pinned up into folds at the back, creating a bustle... The mantoes included one made from ash-colored Indian satin with little flowers; a red and green flowered Indian damask manto with gold buttons and hoops; a blue satin manto flowered with silver and lined in scarlet; a blue flowered silver tissue manto lined in pale blue; and a manto of white damask covered in scarlet and gold flowers, with a lining of scarlet and pink lustering.

Below the bodice, mantoes were left open, revealing a petticoat underneath. Among the forty-six petticoats made for the Queen in 1702 there were ones in black velvet, flowered satin, “glazed holland,” and “rich silver stuff.” Importantly for one who was a semi-invalid, the Queen also had magnificent nightwear. Twenty nightgowns were made for her in 1702, including one of white mohair lined with black and white striped flowered silk, and a “blue satin nightgown embroidered with several colours, lined with blue taffety.” 

The Queen usually wore tall lace headdresses... Her shoes were mostly made of satin, though she did own a few pairs of corked sabots. In 1705-6 she bought a total of sixty-one pairs of shoes... Fans were the most important female accessory in those days, and Anne had a fine collection, to which she added annually. In 1703-4 she bought seventeen fans, among which were “a fine ivory sticked Indian pained fan”...and a “green papered Indian fan with fine gilt sticks.” Anne’s milliner supplied her with “papers of patches” to adorn her face, and she regularly purchased “amber power” from her perfumer Mr. Cobwell.

All above images are from the mid to late 17th century England and are examples of the sort of clothing and items Anne would have had, however, none of them personally belonged to Queen Anne.

On Feburary 6th 1665, Anne Hyde gave birth to a baby Princess. The infant, also named Anne, would grow up to be Queen Anne I of England.

However, the baby’s adulthood would be filled with tragedy. She would lose 17 children and suffer with gout in her later years, before dying at 49 years old.
