The Difference a Year Makes

I redid a lot of the early art in preparation for the book. Take a look and see the difference a year or two of practice makes.
Pingyang (c.600-623)
The Princess Who Toppled a Dynasty
This unlikely heroine created her own Woman's Army of 70,000 soldiers through good manners and political savvy - and then used it to overthrow one of China's greatest douchebags.
Ching Shih (1775-1844)
Princess of the Chinese Seas
Headed a squadron of 80,000 pirates, ruled the Chinese seas for two decades, and actually retired happily - but not before extorting a nice pension from the Chinese government.
