Oh damn! I happen to be in Denver today but didn't know about this, and now I have no time to visit. 😭

The artist, Ann Evtushenko, gave me three options. I liked the sky blue and sunlit image number 3, so that's the one I went with. This image is the final colors for this piece.

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

Ann really knocked this one out of the park. I love the pose with the soldiers in the background. The essence of a battlefield empress.

Brennan Taylor @brennanrtaylor.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

We are going with a stained-glass window look for the art, and Ann did some sketches for the initial concept work. The character will be introduced with a vertical piece next to the stats for the character. Here is the half-page piece that we will be using on the character sheet, in sketch form.

Brennan Taylor @brennanrtaylor.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I'm focusing on the assets for just a couple of characters and some other incidental art to feature in the crowdfunder. The first character I am working on is the Empress, the most powerful character in the game. She is a woman later in life, with no obvious heirs. She is also a woman of war.

I am working on art direction for The Art of Power, my medieval power politics game set in a land ruled by women. I'm working with the artist Ann Evtushenko, and I want to share some of the early art for the game.
