The technology to dye her, her hair, her dress, and even drop in a new background still surprises me. They're getting better at it, at least. I do notice, her sleeve got fitted for the white-dress shot, but it's very loose on her thin arm in the blue.
"To be the queen, she agreed to be the widow!"

The pre-modern world was willing to attribute charisma to women well before it was willing to attribute sustained rationality to them.

True! They did a good job with the sleeve on the white dress.
I can't even tell what the background is supposed to be on the blue dress cover though.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

[quote=""MLE (Emily Cotton)""]The white on the outside of the man's sleeve appears to be a 16th to early 17th century slashed-sleeve doublet--while the woman's gown is plainly regency.[/quote]

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
