To be able to tie it in with the one before it and the one after it, I had to make some adjustments to the proportions of background figures. You'll notice the ones on the right are larger than the ones on the left.

I’m very happy at how this one came out. In fact, I think it’s one of my best ones. This is one I spent the most time on the background. It took almost an entire day to do it all. I paid very close attention to the tiny details in this one too, mainly because I had a lot of good sources to work from. The 1530’s was at the height of Henry VIII’s reign and there are many good portraits from this time. The guy in the left foreground (above the grapes) is based on a painting of Francois I by Clouet. The woman in the right foreground (to the right of the dog) is based on a painting of Jane Seymour (one of Henry’s wives). The woman talking to her is based on a painting of Anne of Cleaves (another of Henry’s wives) but I changed her hat. That’s me in the right foreground with the pretty girl. My costume is similar to ones seen in paintings of Henry.
Many of the costumes are English but were influenced strongly by Italian Renaissance fashions.
