Description
The Wives of King Henry VIII ... Disney Style!The completed, colored version. Even the sparkles.
From the left: Catalina de Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna von Cleves, Catherine Howard, Catherine Parr
Fullview is a must!!!
** Info Update ** When I was coloring, I realized that I didn't know the colors of certain attributes of each wife. For instance, Anne of Cleves' hair. I have many Tudor books, none of which stated the color of Anne's hair. So I decided to search through movie representations of Anne of Cleves, and found that the actresses all had dark hair. So I colored her hair brown. But now that I've had some time off of school, and the luxury of money to buy new books, I have found that Anne had blonde hair.

I've actually drawn something very similar to this, but nowhere near as good. I had the same trouble with Anne of Cleeves' hair colour.

Oh,I just love this!
I wish Disney would do a 2D movie about The Tudors but it would probably never happen with all those beheadings involved

True.... but the original stories for most of Disney's movies are rather morbid in nature. Could it be possible to Disnify the Tudors?

Thanks for getting Catherine of Aragon's hair and eye colour correct!

I love love love your Tudor characters- I'm hoping to do some of my own soon!
Also, you've done a pretty good job on the expressions and colouring I think, like you say, accounts of Anne of Cleves for some reason aren't widely known, just come across one that mentions her hair in Starkey's 6 Wives.
This may sound like a stupid question (I am not very computer literate yet!) but how did you colour them in?
Once again, these are awesome!

Love! Love! Anna von Cleves and Katherine Parr have been my favorites. I enjoy how you portrayed each of them, even with the Disney style, you don't seem to have lost the characterizations of them! Bravo.

Hm... the only thing I'm iffy about is Katherine of Aragon's hair. Those of Spanish blood - especially in the Tudor era - were notorious for having dark hair and still are. Genetically speaking, only people from the UK and a handful from Ireland bear red hair. Other than that, great pic! ^^

Catalina of Aragon had an English grandmother. And, the Spanish royalty were known for having red hair. Even Mary Tudor had red hair.

Nope, don't think so. But I'm not gonna argue. ^^

LoL. It's not an argument. But here's a portrait.

and from the ever wonderful wiki:
"Catherine was of a very fair complexion, had blue eyes, and had a hair colour that was between reddish-blonde and auburn; these were typical in members of the TrastΓ‘mara family who were descendants of Peter I of Castile."

I love all their expressions, and the style, and...aah, it's just amazing!

Two Annes, Three Kates, and One precious Jane, but they to marry Henry. That's what sealed their fates.

I'm loving these Disney-style Tudors. If only Disney would make the movie - that I'd love to see! Great work. Such a lot of character, especially in Catherine Howard.

i love it mixes two of my favorite things tutor times and disney
you drew it really well

Very well done! They all look lovely!
My only critique is that Jane seems to almost blend in with the background becauses of the colors and I always notice her last when I look at the picture.
Unless thats is suppose to be a reference to her character...

This is so wonderful, I love how important the tiniest details are to you. I especially love the way you've portrayed Catherine Howard and Katherine Parr, and the details in the headdresses. Excellent, excellent job!

Thank you! Its so great to hear appreciation for the details. I really wanted to get their personalities out.

These (and the full set) are stunning interpretations. LOVE your attention to detail regarding features and attire. Your effort really shows and pays off. You brought these characters to life and now Im cranky there isn't a Disney movie of the Tudor tale to watch!!

Catherine of Aragon looks like the actress Deborah Kerr (who played Katherine Parr in Young Bess)- Beautiful work, as always.

Ooh, very cute!
My favourite was always Anne Boleyn, but I love the way you drew Anne of Cleves! She's adorable.

I really liked how you did this. But one thing; Anne of Cleves should have been a little bit bigger; from what I read of her.
π: 0 β©: 1
i think she was just curvier than what Henry was used to. i don't think she was overweight.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what I meant. She wasn't big as in over weight, just curvier than any of his other wives.

Think fast! who is your fave queen?
not from this pic but in reality?

In reality I like Catherine Howard best, but in the pic, I like Catherine of Aragon most. She looks so sweet and welcoming.
π: 0 β©: 1
ah. why do you like Katherine Howard?
I do get Catherine of Aragon though. She really was a sweet and good person.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know, she just seems so intriguing. Anne boleyn is also very interesting.
Oh, and add me as a friend.

Right!
But Kitty was so simple minded. Not very smart at all.
