Mary I (1553-1558 AD)

Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, was born in 1516 and suffered through a terrible childhood of neglect, intolerance, and ill-health.

Mary began her tumultuous reign at 37 years of age, arriving in London amid a scene of great rejoicing. Mary's first act was to repeal the Protestant legislation of her brother, Edward VI, hurling England into a phase of severe religious persecution. Her major goal was the re-establishment of Catholicism in England, a goal to which she was totally committed. Nearly 300 people (including former Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer and many of the most prominent members of society) were burned at the stake for heresy, earning Mary the nickname, "Bloody Mary."

We are the middle children of history. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual one, our Great Depression is our lives. We've been raised by TV sets, and slowly we're learning the truth, and we're very, very pissed off.

i used to love turning the lights out in the bathroom with my girlfriends and saying bloody Mary 3 times into the mirror when i was a kid.
We never saw anything more then maybe a hint of light thru the door catching our reflections in the mirror, but hell if we didnt scare the shit out of
each other trying to percieve what might happen if she did come and suck us into the mirror, into some twisted fucked up world of our own demise.

:heart:

awesome piece.
The texture are fantastic hon...scary and bloody.

If this isn's scary I don't know what is.
:iconakyra:
ach!

the blood on her chin, man, it looked to me that her mouth was open in some wide-mouthed grin of joy, kinda like a bitch-innocent Joker woman.

*shivers*

it's not so creepy now that I can see her mouth isn't open.

nice job man.

I really like this style! I think the colors..and some of the brushes used give it a slight Oriental feel to it. maybe it's just me though heh I really like all the black space around my face and then how you bring the red back in. I might just have to make this my desktop image. :D

thanks for using my stock!
