i think i'll go with this version of queen for now. i'll have to think very hard about a color scheme though (and i have some ideas, we'll just see what happens when i put down the brush). i also realized that i didn't spend a lot of time drawing the queen's character, so thar she is with some alt hairstyle. bonus cleaner king sketch without his hat (which was supposed to be in his hand, but ran out of space, lol)
