Artist's Comments

Finally, after such a long time, I inked this picture! What took so long was deciding what sort of designs to put in the picture. The figures and the basic building structure had been inked for several months.

Originally, I was going to do Islamic Arabesques, but they were way too complicated and I didn't have enough references to make a believable pattern, so I went with Renaissance and Celtic interlace instead. For the Renaissance designs, I heavily referenced the Dover Collection of borders and alphabets, which my brother so kindly bought for me. I made up the Celtic interlace ones, although they're pretty standard.

Mostly done in Sepia brush pen, in fact I did a small part of the knotwork in it, until I realized it didn't make it look clean enough so I switched to a finer point pen.

Of course, the characters are Riana and Auron who belong to :iconwazaga:. Sorry this took so long. D= Wazzy, if you want me to send you the original, note me. =D

Har har.

Actually this isn't as complicated...in terms of finding a pattern, the pattern is pretty simple. So there!

Thanks. =)
