The Queen of Light

Hello, I’m in a Fae-Dragon mood this month. What are the Fae-Dragons, you ask? They’re a group of minor Fae nobility and their retinue who got stuck in Yggdrasil when Ragnarok happened. For mutual survival, they merged societies with the native dragons and became the Fae-Dragons. More power and survivability, in return for never being able to go back to either community.

The Fae-Dragons have a rotating revenue of powerful rulers. This is the Queen of Light, who rules for the summer months each year. I based her outfit on Venician carnival wear, Versailles fashion, and the musical Six and Beyonce. I wanted to give her a sense of power and mystique. I added black to her palette because the sun may be strong and shiny, but it’ll turn into a black hole one day, signaling the astronomical power of destruction.
