@theclown The issue is that all adults look as big as the royalty, sure the Emperor is maybe a couple of inches taller but if you compare them when they are standing next to anyone outside the royal family, they aren't that much taller, which makes the proportion thing still odd.
Edit: Thinking about it, maybe it is the way the artist draws people in a group, always at odd angles, either from below or above never straight which makes all adults look the same height.
Edit once again xD: Yeah, the king is a head or two taller then most guards, don't know why I just haven't noticed it till now.
