Next art post for The Art of Power, my game of medieval power politics in a land ruled by women. The initial piece is the Empress, a powerful warrior queen in her later years. Here she is on the battlefield in a color study this time.

I ran @brennanrtaylor.bsky.social ‘s Teenage Ninja Fighting School tonight, and it’s _genius_. I love this game. Setting was a school for a monastic order of young assassins in Renaissance Verona fighting a secret battle against the War Pope. #TTRPG
