County Scroll Reviled

With the gifting of the county scroll done, I'm now going to post pictures of it up.
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.

Source: The Illustrated Old English Hexateuch, Cotton Claudius B.iv
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.
