After so many delays, this finally finished!!!!!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!

Well I've always love illuminated manuscript stuff. When I was in high school I found a book at the public library, not sure about the title, maybe 'Illuminated Alphabet' or something, and I had fallen in love with this kind of art ever since. So yeah I guess that is what I'm trying to do here. Though maybe it doesn't look like the real thing or anything, I think there are the elements of it. Haha.

Okay well this is kinda inspired by an original character by a friend of mine. The character name is Saint, he looks a lot like Kakashi in Naruto I think. But well what I like about it is that along with that Saint dude there's this really cool-looking dragon. Okay my friend thought that that dragon character that he made looks scary, devilish in appearance, but I like it a lot, it's really badass. Well yeah I include my version of that dragon here. And no this looks nothing like the original, the original is like 24 times better. I don't even remember what it looks like when I draw this. And I don't usually draw animal anyway, haha.

The familiar thorny curl design, is of course, originally Evanescence's. It's on their The Open Door album cover. One of my favourite album And yeah actually I've used this design in my previous Evanescence fanart 'My heart is broken ' [link]

I used a lot of brushes here, to make this thing look old, like an actual manuscript haha, hope I didn't overdo it though. The latin part, is taken from a song 'Design Your Universe' by a really epic band, Epica. And no I don't understand latin
