More marker adventures...The scanner has done funny things with the color on this one. The pink in the gown is more greyed in the actual sketch. The contrast is a little heavier too. Not too bad though...Alais Capet is a French princess who has lived at King Henry's English court as part of a political deal between England and France. She is supposed to marry Richard, Henry's eldest son, but has been in an adulterous relationship with Henry for years. She is young, french and beautiful - like a ghost of what Queen Eleanor used to be.
I'm going for some bold colors in this production - colors that probably weren't around in the clothing of 1183. But these are royals - the characters are all larger than life. I'd probably also use some velvet which wasn't invented till the beginning of the 14th century and didn't appear in Europe till the end of the 14th century. Oh, well...I can do whatever I want...mmmhm.
