I did these sketches for the kings + queens back in 2021 that I’ve had in my drafts since then too, that I always meant to ink and color to make as finished drawings but I never got around to it. Also, since I’ve made both changes to their physical appearances and their basic information since then, I will be making brand new references for them sometime. I’m not too sure when those will come out(as I have some other projects I’m working on at the moment), but it is/was a project that I have been wanting to do for a long time so hopefully it will be sometime soon this summer!

In the meantime I will be sharing these old sketches and a little information about them, originally they were all going to be in the same post but I thought that would get too long. But, I hope you enjoy and to start off, we have the rulers of Feor~ 🔥

=============================================================

- Ruling King Vulcan(47) and Queen Consort Soleil(45) Von Brandt are the current reigning royals of the Kingdom of Feor and the parents to Ignatius, Hestia, Flint, and Ashton. Both come off as the type who are very stern and intimidating upon first glance, but deep down they are a lot more open-minded and accepting than one would think. They have known each other from the time they were children, but it was not till they were both over the age of 16 were they arranged to be married. Their arrangement aside, the two were already close as friends and knew they wanted to get to know each other romantically before their marriage, and through their dates they truly did feel in love when their wedding finally came. Vulcan tends to come off as very serious and no-nonsense, preferring a strong and logical approach when it comes to ruling, but he softens up a lot around his family. Soleil comes off as very wise and mature, used to have trouble expressing her emotions and inner troubles to others but is a lot more lively nowadays. While they are technically allies with Mareas through the Elemental Alliance, in truth they still see the Water Kingdom as their “rivals” and both Vulcan and Soleil do not care for Queen Arethusa and King Lian’s attitudes, to put it as lightly as possible. Though they have their thoughts over the queen and king, the two actually don’t mind their children and see them all as good kids, even Brooke who is often seen as the “problem child” between him and his siblings. While they have not gotten a solid confirmation from him yet, both have their speculations that their eldest son Nate is gay and that he is secretly seeing Prince Brooke, given how the Mareasian-style engagement ring he wears kind of gives it away and from noticing how they look at each other, but as Nate has not said anything they have no real proof at the moment and are patiently waiting for him to tell them himself.
