An illuminated letter 'S' with a dragon head, wings, and paws, and a tongue that extends to form Celtic knotwork. The letter is red, blue, and purple, the knotwork is green, and the spaces between everything is filled with very shiny gold.

This paper doesn't like being erased over, but I'm painting over all this anyway so it should look okay when that's done

In black ink line art, a celtic knotwork letter 'S' and a thicker knotwork border. Some of the ink lines have degraded where I've gone over them with an eraser to lift the pencil.

Some base watercolours down on the dragon. Enough for today, my shoulder's hurting now blobcat_crying

An ornamental letter 'S' with an animal  head, wings, and pawbs, and a tongue that extends into celtic knotwork. The 'S' is red with blue outline, the head, wings and paws are purple, and the knotwork is green.

Calligraphy done

Yes I am spending all this time doing a super fancy frame for a very silly bit of text meowybara

#Calligraphy #MastoArt #Illumination #CelticKnot #OriginalArt #CreativeToots

Calligraphed in brown ink, blackletter script, 'Studies have shown that it do be like that sometimes'. The first 'S' is a big, ornate, illuminated letter in the shape of a dragon with a tongue that extends to form celtic knotwork around the letter, with the spaces filled in shiny metallic gold paint.
