The king ran to embrace him;

more than a hundred times

he hugs and kisses him.

As soon as he got a chance

he gave him back all of his land;

he gave him more than I’m telling you.

“Bisclavret” by Marie de France, 12th C.

New hobby: I’ve just started learning to write black letters and it’s so much fun! I use a 4.5mm nib which is quite challenging for a beginner but it’s also rather satisfying to write with ( ´ ▽ ` )

Here’s the doll from Bloodborne. My little fan-girling doodle.

Black Book of Hours 1/2/3

"Black books of hours are a type of luxury Flemish illuminated manuscript books of hours using pages of vellum that were soaked with black dye or ink before they were lettered or illustrated, for an unusual and dramatic effect. The text is usually written with gold or silver ink" (link)

Ode 2 Spot

IT IS FINALLY FINISHED.

After days of work, I’m finally happy with the result! I have completely reworked my hand-lettered Ode To Spot, and I am so proud of it!

I've also made an old-looking version, of which a high-res download is available to anyone that's supported me on Ko-Fi :)

Ghost • Calligraphy and Music

[calligraphy-creature]

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

From The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (repost with a better scan)

I made another attempt to combine my new hobby (blackletter calligraphy) with my ink drawing practice, and…typo happened (´Д` ) Everyone I give you ‘Eleen’ The Crow ಥ_ಥ (For those who don’t know, it’s Eileen)

Yeah, I did the drawing first then the text. Oh well…
