For the coffee people :D

It's on A5 off-white textured watercolour paper. The purple 'offee' ink has a very slight gold shimmer to it.

Edit: Sold!

'But first, coffee',calligraphed in Carolingian script.

The 'but first' is in small black letters, the Coffee is in big purple letters but the first C is big and illuminated, painted brown and bronze with coffee plants with green leavesand red berries, and swirling vines in shimmering green ink.

Angled view showing the metallic and iridescent ink on the C catching the light

Angled view showing a faint gold shimmer in the purple ink of the text

Done! ( @lavaeolus )

'Sharing isn't immoral - it's a moral imperative.
Aaron Swartz, 2008:
Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto'

Calligraphed in black ink, Carolingian script, with the first 'S' large and ornate, in green and gold with swirling vinesand flowers, and a blue-purple bird sitting on top.

Angled close up of the S showing the iridescent and metallic colours of the vines, leaves, bird, flowers, and gold highlighting catching the light and shimmering brightly.

A flat view of the 'S' showing the flat colours when they're not catching the light and shimmering.

One of two for @lavaeolus done :D

Calligraphed in black ink, in Carolingian script, with a decorative border of leaves and vines and flowers twirling around a gold bar, in red, blue, and green with orange flowers:

'Those with access - you have been given a privilege. You get to feed at this banquet of knowledge while the rest of the world is locked out. You have a duty to share it with the world.

Finally finished this commission for @slowwriter - yay! :D

Calligraphed in green ink, Blackletter script;

Behold the field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is barren.

The first 'B' is big, green and gold, and in its own blue box. The writing is framed in bordersof repeating pattenrs in blues, greens, reds, and gold, and there's a sketched illustration of a barren field with a fence, tree, and some birds, beneath the text.

Angled view of the top showing the gold ink catching the light

I've just finished my design for Earby Medieval Mayhem (11th May, 2025)! The shield is the crest of Pendle district, with the white and red Yorkshire and Lancashire roses as Earby straddles the county boundary. Painted in Clip Studio Paint using a vellum background from my great-grandmother's diary (sic - long story).
I've had such fun designing this - I don't think it will be my last medieval illustration!

Digital illustration in a medieval style of a knight on horseback carrying a shield featuring a hill, a piece of cloth and cog wheels, and a lamb. His livery is red with green reverse and patterned with the same cogwheels as his shield. Ahead of him flies a hen harrier, and behind him is a rosebush with red and white roses.

Do you believe in #magick? I don't. But I do believe the images in the Compendium Rarissimum Totius Artis Magicae are very awesome.

I decided to touch them up a bit and make them available for prints, shirts, cards, etc. Click an image to see products.

It is sort of an early #MonsterManual

Glowing landscape after the storm.

ART - https://deborah-league.pixels.com/featured/illuminated-landscape-after-the-storm-deborah-league.html

$Illuminated landscape after the storm. Beams of light pour through breaking storm clouds. Rain continues falling to the right of center. The combination of strong light and moisture in the atmosphere refracts the colors of a rainbow. Sunlight sparkles on standing water, wet plants, and mist. This landscape showcases the luminous colors often seen after a rainstorm.$

Nancy's illuminiatures @MerlyBlack@mastodon.art

Good morning Fediverse, here is an older #illumination I painted back in 2017, on vellum. The background is gold leaves on a 3D undercoat called "gesso". It is taken from the Aberdeen Bestiary, and it depicts an asp viper and a man. See alt text for the story!

And, yes, now I use a ruler for the outer frame... LOL

Do you like it?

A man wearing a red tunic, blue pants, and a helmet is holding a large triangular shield and a stick. While he hits the ground with the stick, the blue winged, fire-breathing asp tries not to hear that mesmerising noise by blocking its ears with its tail and some grass. It has paws, and it's leaning on a weird medieval tree with "fruit" that looks like artichokes. The background of the image is ornate with gold leaves, and there's a wobbly red frame around the image because I didn't use a ruler!
