LadyLeaf, I will admit to being a history nut and I think the minor details such as abstract dragon is fine. It is artistic license on your part. As for the angle of her crown...no worries she probably had a long tiring day and it naturally moved on her head. She is just too tired to fix it. She looks fantastic the way she is. Really!

Nameless, sounds like you're in need of a dollology doctor XD, and thank you. Thank you Falak and Inanna as well, I'm aiming for accuracy but the angle of her crown (yes that black-board-scholar-hat-ish thing is the crown) wasn't well planned and please the pardon those highly abstract dragon patterns (yes, those black snake noodle-ish thingy). But again thank you all for the lovely comments!

....So much tears and blood been shed, so much joy and sorrow and pain, all condense into a wordless stele. The Empress left her life story at the mercy of the future generation, to decide whether a wise sovereign she was, or a pitiless tyrant...
