Description Inside, the city was quiet. Lit candles sat on window sills, in the middle of the day. It was a ceremonial act practiced by the entire Empire. The candle's flame was supposed to guide lost souls onward so they wouldn't haunt the living.


To Lillian it was all needless superstition, once she was queen, she'd do away with such antiquated dogma.


Long black satin banners were hung between lamp posts along the roads, carrying the hovering feeling of dread and depression. But the locals did seem legitimately sad to lose their princess.


Groups were pasting up large posters, petitioning for Jacqueline's Sainthood.


Every other building had that same purple war banner hanging on its front. They
symbolized a rally, a cause to get behind, a tool to grieve. Lillian now recognized the crown in the banners center, and found herself an idiot for not noticing sooner, it was Jacqueline's, all distorted and destroyed.


The raven haired cousin put her hands together quietly, personally, she did hope for
some war.

So, to celebrate, I made some Princess and the Pirate art, but more for coloring practice. I'm too tired to do something crazy intricate.

I changed the order of "the virgin saint of war/Virgo sancta Belli" at the guidance of Does it make a huge difference? No. But, I do care about people's input. It is the little things that count, afterall.


I want to do one like this for all the main characters. But first, I have a -awesome- commission to work on first. Update: Adjusted the exposure, trying to reverse the lackluster job my scanner did. Much happier.

Roqueburne was a kingdom on the west coast. A forest behind it, an ocean in front, really, it was a self sufficient place that rarely required any real attention from the empire it was apart of. Now. But, it wasn't always so.

Bustling enterprise doesn't just happen. The King and Queen of Roquburne were implanted here by the empire ages ago. Only by years of blood, steel and iron, did their kingdom become a great shining gem by the sea. The people became educated and were prosperous. Crippling plagues were forced from the city, winter after winter, fewer died. Each spring, a budding culture renaissance came closer, and closer. A proud, ci

Also, submitting (as a second entry) it to the OC contest! For those new to the story, this is my OC, Princess Jacqueline. Who's gone on a eclectic, wild ride trying to get back home!
