I was thinking of doing a line of illumination along the bottom, under the author name, with some kind of griff symbols worked into it, so that there was a juxtaposition of photo and fantasy.
Some thoughts: the name shashigai is confusing there, as if it is part of the title, but then again, is it? Is this what you meant it to be? It is confusing. It may be clearer if it has his IRL name on it, but I think it may still be, given the title kinda is can be interpreted easily as The Sky Alone My Partner, so and so

LOL! I really was just playing, but I'm not going to turn down good feedback. I think you're right about the name. It was just a last minute thing because Shashigai didn't want his real name online. The title is supposed to be "The Sky Alone My Partner". I had the title and name both bigger font and higher in the original, but he didn't like it that way. :P He didn't want it to distract from the sky.
I straightened out a lot of lines in the illumination because it was bugging me how obviously Celtic it looked (used Celtic reference) but I don't think it was enough of a solution. I have some idea of how Karnese dyes compare to what was available on Earth, and I want to develop that further into a proper colour palette, but what I don't really have my finger on is what is it about their artistic styles that makes them unique.
But yeah, the main character is probably going to be cranky :P
Verdigris says to say to Shashigai she thinks just a tiny bit higher would draw the eye's gaze to the sky more. At the moment the writing is pulling it away from it a bit

I like the seal as well. For some reason it is reminding me of a coloring book that I had as a kid.

Okay I get now what you mean about drawing a curved beak on it. Yours doesn't look like an angry parakeet. XD
