- Title: Queen Elizabeth I
- Artist: Z OMG

Description:
Adorned with white face paint to cover her smallpox blemishes & a wig to hide her balding head, Queen Elizabeth I's visage is instantly recognisable, especially when coupled with her excessive finery.
To this day we know her legacy. She built colonies in the New World, ensured England's place in political standing on the continent & struck fear into the hearts of the Spanish Armada, all the while surviving assassination attempts, being excommunicated & never marrying the man she loved. - Date: 04/24/2010

The wig does bug me about my cosplay but there wasn't a good enough wig that would've fitted (ie, red with the high forehead). *shrugs*
Thank you all for your kind words and for getting me to number one!
It was very exciting :] - Report As Spam

- Great, congratulations! People tend to take ref pics "to the letter" so to speak, so it was good that you chose to go by the colours of the pic instead (no red wig for example). The general tones really match the reference picture, good work and good cosplay ^^

Even into old age, she wore a crazy red wig, because she'd had red hair in her youth.
She pretty much had to stay unmarried, because by the politics of the time, she couldn't be subordinate to a man as her husband and still be the surpeme ruler of the country. It was bad enough for her to be a woman in power, but her gov't got all weird about the idea of her marrying. - Report As Spam

I believe she was actually a virgin... NOT a slut.
