Spanish Royal Charter Set

 Continuing on my journey through Charter blank designs I've gotten to assist with, I present a set that was created for the First Reign of King Eiirk and Queen Driffina. 


I created these based on extant examples of illumination from the 600-1100 time frame, in the book, "Early Spanish Manuscript Illumination" by John Williams. 

This was a very trying project, there is a specific stylization to these texts that came out a bit cartoony, expecially when looking at the people charachters represented. But I think I did it pretty solid Justice.


 The creation of these was done through measurement of proportions and freehand drawing based on the extant examples provided. 











The major change I made to the imagry of these items was on the Goutte, where I elected at add TRMs image based on their photo, 

These were the final versions (The Jambe version with words didn't get saved)
