(Watermarked due to being a commissioned work.)

Hello. I have a chance to create this tarot deck boxes design for my friends at Medieval Village Thailand. Merging Warfare is our combat LARP event.

The design is mostly from the Sherborne Missal (ADD MS 74236) f.398, 399, 326, 591. The painting is inspired by the Dresden prayer book (MS.43(91.MS.81).r).

The calligraphy work is done using Manuscript calligraphy pen with 0.60/0.85mm stub nub and Twsbi Eco-T 1.1mm stub nib pens. The ink used are Sailor Cosmic Light and Sailor Bangkok Ink Tiss.

Painted using Royal Talens Designer Gouache. The paper used is Clairefontaine calligraphy paper which is cut down to A4 size.

Please comment and feedback, thanks. I am really looking forward to the actual manufacturing of the deck in the coming months.

Transitive verb, "To make something more intricate"

One day the small pen is going to run out of ink and I will be able to replace it with one that doesn't feather.

In french. Flemish calligraphy.

Last week, a friend gave me a copy of the Speedball Textbook, 20th Edition, and as a small gesture of appreciation, I copied a few pages—particularly the Humanistic Hand—into my Campus notebook. It was a relaxing and rewarding exercise, and it gave me a chance to study the forms more closely while honoring a thoughtful gift.

I’ve also decided to turn this notebook into a commonplace book where I can collect calligraphy exemplars, quotations, and ideas that inspire me. The original pages from the Speedball book are included in the last photo for comparison. This feels like a meaningful way to begin a notebook that I hope to fill for many years to come.

Also, I'm stealing New-Confidence3855's strategy of learning one capital letter a day :)

The wobble in the long s is bothering me though...

Alas, it's a work in progress!

Did this one in a hurry, so, the guidelines are not proper. The pressure on strokes is also quite unstable. But glad that the practice is on!!!
