In the beginning

Almost 3 years ago, I was given the privilege of taking on the roll of Baronial scribe of Dragon's Mist. At that time, we were a budding branch, with little to no awards on the books and so it was my job and challenge to not only copy charters to be painted by my local artisans, but also to create new charter designs at this time. With the help of many contributors, including Helena, José and Nicolai we worked through writing, designing and creating around 17 new award charters, these are a few of the designs that I drew -inspiration from various sources:

This is my first ever full blown charter design, inspired by 2am sleep deprivation at work, after being called in on emergency :P

Based on the prow of a viking long ship. 

 Ironically the design for this crossroad charter was gleaned ultimately from the brain of the one who would become it's premier, as it is an Order- Eoghan O'Briain.

 

This is one of my favorites designs so far, many have said they love to paint it, and I agree, below is my vision of the paint job as I drew it. Calligraphy was done by Helena.
