Done
I'm mostly done with this project. There are a few touch ups (some of which were taken care of as soon as I saw the scanned version - I mean, just look at the blob after the Tuum! terrible!) but this is how it turned out, with a quarter for reference purposes.
Since I haven't seriously done well any C&I for about a year, I'm relatively satisfied with how this turned out. Obviously, I did a poor job with keeping the white a consistent texture. he entire design is free handed, so I am being generous with my assessment, since I normally trace things. The capital T's are too plain for the writing style. While the inspiration for this piece is a late Renaissance source, the embellishments look more modern. T Some of the swoops look better than others. A brighter gold would have worked better, but I only have one kind of gold powder. However, one thing I did replicate well was the medieval dislike of blank space. There is a lot of swoop!
Anyways, thoughts? Critisim welcome (taking into consideration that I haven't done this for a year).
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the top is crooked. yes I know. I realized that I had forgotten to straighten the top after I drew the top leaf. I really like that leaf.
Here is the Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur Nomen Tuum adveniat Regnum Tuum fiat voluntas Tua sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie et dimitte nobis debita nostra Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a Malo.
