Description
Probably the apogee of my Beardsley-esque pieces (I have a few more in the offing, but none so painstaking as this). This one is inspired by his 'Le Morte d'Arthur' series. I was a huge fan of black and white illustrations (especially Victorian era stuff like Tenniel & William Morris) even before I was introduced to Beardsley's works. Something about the attention to detail and the intricacy really appealed to me from a young age. So I loved doing this!SSHG pairing. Pen on paper.

And I can see that love in this piece. Magnificent, Pythia! Even more so on full-view. From the single flowers in the field to the town in the corner, it's such an interesting composition, even if it wasn't SSHG. I hope you're darned proud of yourself, because this is wonderful.

Thanks so much, darling! Btw, the 'town' is meant to be Hogwarts castle.

Oh, sorry about that! I always forget that castles are not just one main building, but a rather sprawling affair, as Hogwarts probably is.
Not many castles here in America, you see.
Acknowledge away! It's still fabulous.

No worries. The art is always open to interpretation once it's put out there.
