It's so funny how you made your avatar a picture in the background! Other than that, I like the idea, and I love the artwork! Great job!

Were the Romanovs historically Dukes and Duchesses? I thought they were a dynasty of Russian Tsars and Tsarinas. Or Czars, I'm not sure which spelling is official, but I've seen both.

 

On second thought, during various parts of their reign over the Russian Empire I suppose that the Romanovs would technically have been the dukes and/or duchesses of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, and Oldenburg. Finland was a grand duchy, but the title there was technically prince, not grand duke...

 

And I looked into it. You're right; the current (disputed) head of the Romanovs has the title 'Grand Duchess'. I'm wrong.

 

Sorry about that.

 

Outside of my little historical rant... That's some fine artwork there. I really like her mane!

Grand Duchess was what the daughters of the Tsar were called. The current head of the Romanov Family is not technically an empress since she has no empire and as such she is a Grand Duchess.
