This page is part of an online portfolio of SCA artwork by Yves de Fortanier and Elspeth nic Cormac. We did these in 2003.

All done on 11"×14" Bristol board (Strathmore's 300 Series).

 

Red Raven: Miramah
August 2003

Her persona lives in Istanbul, 1520. Elspeth did all of the illumination. This is my second scroll using what I call pseudo-Arabic script. The first I did last year for her daughter. Note the big difference in style...

Since then, she has chosen to be called Miramah bint Ibrahim.

Medium-size (74k), Large-size (183k)

Baron's Prize List Winner
September 2003

An attempt at something simple, elegant, and quick. I think it's a bit short on elegancy. The winner of the day was Warder Cameron. Cam received another scroll because Signora Serena had already done one.

Medium-size (40k), Large-size (91k)

 

The margins are cropped so that the image fits nicely on a typical 8.5×11" scanner. 

Other pages in the portfolio: 1998 . 2000 . 2001 . 2002 . 2004
