Description Also known as 'Bloody Mary' for the many people she had beheaded or burnt for being a heretic.

She was the first child of king Henry VIII of England and (his first wife) Catherine of Aragon.

After her father died in 1547, her half brother Edward became king. This unfortunate boy died at the age of 15 in 1553, leaving the crown not to one of his sisters, but to his first cousin once removed, Lady Jane Grey. But it didn't take long before Mary imprisoned her and had her beheaded.

So in 1553 Mary became Queen of England and brought England back to Rome. She had about 300 people burnt at the stakes, a massive amount. She ruled for 5 years, after which her half sister Elizabeth became queen.

Well, I think I have bored you enough with history now. How about a bit of info about the deviation itself? The pose is from an image I found somewhere around the internet, I can't remember where unfortunately. I picked a green dress because I think it would really fit her and the background is supposed to be a bit bloody-ish.
And that actually made it look christmassy! XD

Oh, only 8 more minutes until my birthday!

A cold and regal beauty and a victim of circumstance I truly feel.

i liked her in the series The Tudors, she got the shit in there though. Her father divorced her mother, making her a bastard. cutting her off from her inheritance. her step-mother caused the protestant refirmation & caused alot of catholic artwork & catholic followers to die. but she's very good w/ comebacks! like when anne boylin told her she'd welcome her back to court if she'd acknowledge her as the queen of england & mary went: i acknowledge no other queen but that of my mother.

I went: BUUUUUURN! TAKE THAT BITCH!

I am really loving the style that you use. Also, I like how your lines have an almost calligraphy-ish feel to them! XD A very lovely picture. <3

Nice drawing! Did you know several English children's rhymes are based around her, such as 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary?' Interesting fact I just found out a few weeks ago

I love her hands!
