Queen Visenya Targaryen 💙

Queen Visenya "the conqueror" Targaryen in her court gown.

I'm not loving how dark sister turned out. Also, her face looks different every time I draw her...oh well.

Visenya "the conqueror" Targaryen in her feast gown and some armor ideas.

The armor ideas can use some more work. Please excuse the blurry images.

The Crowning of Aegon I Targaryen by Visenya and announced by Rhaenys.

It's not done but I doubt I'm going to finish this.

AEGON I’S COURT Artwork by Joe Slucher

Aegon I’s early reign may have been beset by war, but he also made many efforts to bind his new realm together. He and his sisters encouraged the nobility to send their children to King’s Landing to serve as pages and handmaids. They brokered marriages between far-removed noble houses to create connections between distant regions. And they made regular royal progresses, so that the whole realm could see their new rulers, gaze upon their dragons, and experience their justice. In fact, Aegon only spent half his time at the Aegonfort or Dragonstone; for the rest, he was out and about in his kingdom.

When he held court on these progresses, Aegon made sure to consult with maesters familiar with the local laws of the regions, which he used to guide his judgments. His chief goal was to establish peace, not harmonize the laws, so he declared that the first new law in the realm was the King’s Peace, which forbade private wars between feuding noblemen.

Maegor and Visenya come to Oldtown Artwork by Lucas Graciano

Dowager Queen Visenya arrived at daybreak on Vhagar, and Maegor and Balerion at the midday—only to find the Targaryen banner adorning the walls of the city alongside the banners of the Hightowers and the Tyrells. It seemed that, in the middle of the night, the fifty-three-year-old High Septon had surprisingly—and mysteriously—died. Rumors abounded. There was talk of suicide; of the man being struck down by the gods; of murder at the hand of Ser Morgan or the alleged witch Patrice Hightower—or even through the dark magics of Queen Visenya. But whatever the truth, word of the High Septon’s death prompted Lord Hightower to prove his loyalty by hanging the Targaryen banner from the walls, arresting the Warrior’s Sons, and forcing the Most Devout to choose a new High Septon more favorable to Maegor’s cause.

Ronnel Arryn with Visenya Artwork by Tomasz Jedruszek

Visenya took flight on Vhagar to the Vale of Arryn and the Eyrie, where Queen Sharra and her son, King Ronnel, had sought refuge. The castle high on the Giant’s Lance proved no barrier to a dragon, however, and Visenya landed unopposed in the castle’s courtyard. By the time Sharra and her knights arrived, Visenya had the boy king Ronnel on her knee, begging to fly on her dragon. Sharra was forced to submit while her son got his promised flight, circling the Eyrie three times on Vhagar’s back—taking off as a little king and landing as a little lord.
