 "Against all that, Rhaenyra’s advantages were few. Some older lords might yet recall the oaths they had sworn when she was made Princess of Dragonstone and named her father’s heir. There had been a time when she had been well loved by highborn and commons alike, when they had cheered her as the Realm’s Delight. Many a young lord and noble knight had sought her favor then … though how many would still fight for her, now that she was a woman wed, her body aged and thickened by six childbirths, was a question none could answer. Though her half brother had looted their father’s treasury, the princess had at her disposal the wealth of House Velaryon, and the Sea Snake’s fleets gave her superiority at sea. And her consort Prince Daemon, tried and tempered in the Stepstones, had more experience of warfare than all their foes combined. Last, but far from least, Rhaenyra had her dragons. "

Left to right: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (the Queen That Never Was), Rhaena Targaryen, Baela Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Viserys II Targaryen, Aegon III Targaryen, Jacaerys Velaryon, Lucerys Velaryon, Corlys Velaryon and Joffrey Velaryon. 

Little easter eggs in the drawing that aren't "canon" but things I added nonetheless: 

-The choker Rhaena is wearing is a necklace I've drawn Rhaenyra wearing in a couple different drawings; Rhaena is wearing it because Rhaenyra gave it to her after Laena died. 

-This is the first time I've drawn Daemon w/out stubble in a really long time, because Rhaenyra insisted he shaved before the portrait was painted.

-Lucerys is wearing the same cloak that I've drawn Laenor in previously, because I thought it would be sweet if he was very close to Laenor, and wanted to honor his memory this way.

-I dressed Joff in Targaryen colors over Velaryon colors to balance the color scheme (there would have been too much Blue on one side and too much red on the other) but also thought it would be interesting if Joff identified w/ his Targaryen heritage more than his "Velaryon" heritage, somewhat similar to Joffrey Baratheon/Lannister identifying with his Lannister heritage.  

-Baela also insisted on wearing her riding gear for the portrait instead of a dress, just like her grandmother

This is probably the largest project I've taken on in over a year and I'm really exhausted from drawing this but very pleased with the result. Thank you so much everyone for voting for this, I was so happy this was a popular idea and so glad I had the opportunity to bring something like this to life!!

Marvellous job Naomi. I love all the little details, gives so much depth to the characters, makes them seem almost real with little idiosyncrasies of their own. It's so strange seeing Daemon without his scruff, I hardly recognised him.

Awww Jo 😭😭😭💕 I wouldn’t have the opportunity to draw things like this if it weren’t for all of you being so supportive and giving me the freedom to do it. I’d be nothing without you guys 💕
