County Scroll done for Earl Duncan Arthur Ross the Black. The project had to be a larger size (16 x20), Vikingish, interests to try to include, weapons, armor, fighting, and a medieval lion would be a bonus.

Paper: Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper
Ink: Sumi Ink
Paint: Talens gouache, Grumbacher Academy, and a few ground pigments
These first two are during the finalizing of the drawings for the illuminated scenes.
Next is a page of test calligraphy I did to get an idea of the how the text looks and flows. A few final changes took place after doing this particular page.
The drafted layout of the final spacing for the full sized piece. Yea, I'm a draftsmen...
In process, before color and during the inking.
Now for the almost finished picture... It's missing the Rex, Regina, and the signatures.
I didn't get any images after the signatures were done.
