When Last We Left Our Intrepid Heroine...

But you probably already knew that.  I've started on a couple of scrolls.

The first is the archery champion scroll for Bryn Gwlad's baronial.  It's not too fancy schmancy, but I like it!

It's based on this style of ornamentation:



This is what the inked version looks like.  I'm waiting to find out what the text of the award will be, so that I can design a capital, though...



The second scroll I've started is for a friend's Award of Arms:

It's drawn off these two scrolls, almost copied, actually.  I suck at drawing animals right now, so, I borrowed from the Capodilista Codex to find a female knight.  (And no, she's not a knight, but I wanted a woman on horseback and this came up.  Hope I don't piss anyone off....)

The second one I took inspiration from just had a gorgeous border, and I loved the diamonds.



So, I kinda rolled them up together and ended up with this:









Sorry about the size difference!

Anyway, those are the diamonds on the border, with a quarter for scale.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go crazy now.

Anyone was wondering what madness I've been up to...

But it'll probably be hungry in about an hour....

 



 

That's all the progress for tonight.  I was thinking of starting in on the green, but I need time to mix the color right and time to paint it all once I get the color correct.

Well, it's getting closer!  Here's the start of the calligraphy on the original.  Many, many thanks to cenliamgordon for the calligraphy work!



Sorry it's sideways!
