So. BB is live. I made some art for it.

The first piece I did was for aelora 's epic epicness The Mirror, the Sword and the Shield, in which there are, among other awesome things: giant beasties, heroic deeds and noble knights.

Doing it on the computer is much less messy, I'm sure!

Very nice work!

Thank you again for your comments!

Thanks so much for showing me the link to this. It's WONDERFUL. It must have taken you absolutely ages. I love the composition, and the colour choices are absolutely beautiful.

Darn, I wish I could actually have a "real" version of this in a window in my home.

It did take foreveeeeeer! But it was worth it! And yeah, it would be pretty cool to have this made, but I pity the poor person who would have to do it! :P
