I have taken on a rather epic commission that I'm allowed to talk about on here, yay!
-
I'm not going to do any more until I get some fixative spray (arriving tomorrow). I don't usually need it, but this paper is so smooth (which I need for easy writing and legibility of the calligraphy) that the ink pigment is very very slightly smudging when I brush my hand over it.
Progress!
I'm about 7% in. Had a few off-days and busy days where I couldn't work on it, but on the good days I'll be able to do more than my predicted 5 pages a day.

15.5% of the way in and just about to start Chapter 5. These last few pages have been very writing-heavy and slow progress.

Smol update, I'm 22% of the way in by page count and word count. Pausing for breakfast then I'll do a few more pages to get up to 25%, then post pics.

@forestfjord @alkoclick oh I missed an M in hammer. That happens with these letters, the strokes are all so similar XD I'll add it in.

@welshpixie I kind of like the spelling mistakes. It adds to fact this is an original, handrawn work of art, different from the source material. Also acts a bit like a paper town, if that was ever an issue
