Right, I *think* that's the knotwork done - added shading, the thin double lines, and the white highlights.

Just the outside border now 😊

Held up against a window to show it in daylight, a partly-finished piece of illuminated calligraphy with celtic knotwork. The text, calligraphed in brown ink blackletter script, reads 'Studies have shown that it do be like that sometimes'. The first 'S' is a big illuminated letter in the shape of a dragon, coloured in red and blue, with white and black details, and with the tongue of the dragon extending out to a green celtic knot that fills the spaces in the loops of the S. The S is encased in a box of very shiny gold paint, and the whole piece is surrounded by a thicker celtic knot in shades of green, with red and blue in the corners, and the spaces around and between the knotwork filled in gold.

Held up in a patch of sunlight to show the gold catching the light.

A hand-drawn black ink artwork in a gothic thick black frame.

The words 'We're dying to live' and 'We're living to die' are calligraphed in black ink Blackletter script in boxes at the top and bottom. There's a central circle that has a raven skull surrounded by vines and lily flowers against a black background, set inside a ring of Celtic knotwork coloured in cool grey to look like cracked stone. There are detailed columns of repeating patterns extending up and down from the circle, and two strips of warm-grey coloured stone celtic knotwork down both outer edges that entwine around tiny skulls. There's gold highlight edging throughout. — A hand-drawn black ink artwork in a gothic thick black frame.

Close up on the raven skull centerpiece. The skull is shaded to look 3D, the grey knotwork around it is shaded to look like cracked stone, the entire circle piece has shading that makes it look raised from the paper, and the columns of patterns extending up and down are shaded to look like 3D engraving.

Angled view showing the gold highlight lines, and iridescent pearl on the lilies, catching the light.

Another angled view with focus on the bottom.

Shakespeare's 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day' sonnet calligraphed in black ink blackletter script, surrounded by a decorative border of swirling leaves, vines, and flowers in repeating patterns. The first letter 'S' is big and illuminated in its own box, with a golden dragon perched on the box breathing fire downwards, and in the bottom right corner looking up at the dragon, there's a knight brandishing a sword.

The piece held up in neutral light against a white wall

Close up of the knight, who's drawn in mediaeval manuscript style, wearing chain maille with leather boots and gloves and a wooden studded shield

A close up of the dragon. It's gold-yellow, with metallic tail-tip, wings, and eye.

'Are you fucking kidding me' calligraphed in brown ink Blackletter script. The A is big and filled with green and brown celtic knotwork, and the box framing the A has delicate swirling vibes with leaves in gold and metallic gold-green. Across the top and bottom there are borders of repeating flowery patterns in blue, purple, and gold.

The first 'S' is a big, ornate, illuminated letter in the shape of a dragon with a tongue that extends to form celtic knotwork around the letter, with the spaces filled in shiny metallic gold paint.
