Elsa on Coronation Day :)

Thank you to the wonderfully amazing comickergirl for being so kind and patient and… everything else that she is. It’s a long list. :)

So, this piece kind of just… happened. I knew I wanted a pic of Elsa in her coronation dress, I wanted it to be ‘mine’ and I knew I wanted Sarah to make it. But beyond that, I didn’t have a clue what I wanted. I started thinking about it and thought about how much I love the way Elsa looks from the back in this dress - I love that cape - but art of just her back seemed like a waste. Enter, the mirror (or the potential window, whichever she could work with best) and yay… now Elsa has a face too! :D

My little headcanon for it is that, this is just after the coronation ceremony and Elsa retreats for a quiet moment to herself to collect her thoughts. She sees herself for the first time as Queen, the dress, the crown, the responsibility… it’s real.

Oh, the feels it gives me. :)

I love the eyebrows… and the crease in between and around her eyes. Sarah, you’re a genius and a master with expressions. And the set of her arms, the hands fisted at her side, it totally looks like she’s forcing herself to keep from wrapping them around herself, or perhaps… maybe they already were.

She’s nervous, but she’s strong.

Anyway… I love it so much. It’s beyond perfect. Thank you again, Sarah. And thanks for putting up with me. ;) One more to go!
