'Tywyn's Song' Medievil Italic

Description

Once again I lament DA's lack of a Calligraphy section.

Medievil italic, done in Higgin's balck magic ink on Mohawk Superfine, lightweight. Silver done with a permenant silver oil pen, with touch-ups afterwards with a VERY fine-tip pigament marker. The red is Reeve's Crimson gouache, watered down to ink consistancy and then run through my Speedball C-2 nib.

Knight and Dragons done in pigment pen with prismacolour shades/tints. The viner tracery is plain ol' pencil--I liked the way it looked and so I left it!

In case the verse is a little obscured, this is how it goes:
"A knight stole a dragon's heart
a gem of shining blood
he took it home to his love
to stem her mournful flood"

"Tywyn's song" is six verses long and I am working on the other fiver verses as we speak.

This is why no one ever sees me online...>_<

Total time: 15 hours?
