The Great Emperor

Third painting of this series! I'm actually managing to get them done! (Now if only I can finish them all by the deadline... )

Medium: Watercolours, gouache, pencil, gold and silver leaf
Time: 5 days?

Hrm... while I felt the other ones were far too busy and cluttered, this one is seeming far, far too empty! Aside from the fact that it feels like the actual theme/story is just not getting conveyed by merely looking at it? I mean... it just looks like a little kid on a throne, ne?

Anyways, obligatory story - Emperor Friedrinchek Egome von Blahblargh XIII, the great child prodigy, had just received some nice new officials and soldiers to play around with from his fairy 'mother'. And what better soldiers then these could there be?! They danced around for him, they waved swords at his whim, and why... they sparkled! It was truly a minor thing that 'mother' wanted to remove the heads of the ugly old soldiers of his father's. After all, one could always give them pretty sparkley new faces after that, no?
