Artist's Comments

All done! It's too bad my scanner can't show how pretty and shiny the gold leaf is...this just SHINES in the sun! O.O And yes, it's REAL gold ;)

Sorry it's such a large file, I wanted to make sure people can see the details in the animals when they view it on full ;)

The border is based from The Bedford Hours, and the fox and dog are based from the Hunting Manuscript.

For sale at the Anthrocon Artshow! =D

9x12" cardstock (mock parchment), Genuine 23k Gold Leaf, Higgins Black Magic Ink, Gouache.

My advice for learning how to use color: Paint an orange. :orange:

Yeah, it'll be a while before I do a border like that again O.o It took FOREVER to ink! And soooooo much gold O.o I'm too lazy to go check my WIP on this, but if I remember right, I used about 4 and a half sheets of gold leaf >.< And in the end, I found out that I had missed two leaves! :XD:

But the end result is just so pretty =D
