Description My version of an illuminated manuscript page. Actually, it was kind of a test to see how I want some of the pages of my 'comic book' to look. I did this I think...uhm 2 years ago. The book will be more of a series of illustrated novels than a traditional comic book with panels and everything.
I wasn't originally going to upload this but wanted to see some stuff and this piece I figured I like enough to put in the my gallery. Everything else is in scraps if you wanna see.

This definitely needs a full view. LOTSA details. all that gray in the background...millions of tiny tiny circles. Oh yeah.

This is amazingly beautiful - I love the detailing all around the edges. It looks like a mix of Celtic and Art Nouveau influences - interesting and very pleasing. You have wonderful handwriting as well, it works extremely well with the illumination.

Wow, this is utterly beautiful. I am going to this immediately! I love those graceful wings, and all that detail. Stunning! Far better than the illuminated pages I produce.
