sunzet: Do I have to source one letter? "Pick 1 letter" or can I just make a letter medievalstyle? ( 5 years and 3570 days ago )

jaescoe21: So its not an actual letter. Its juts a capital letter. Some of the decorated letters do have objects in them. is this ok? ( 5 years and 3570 days ago )

Contest Moderator: @sunzet: you can pick a letter yourself; @jaescoe21: it's about 1 letter (capitol or not) and yes it's about decorated letters and objects in it is OK (those objects can be old but also new, but the objects have to be part of the decoration SO NO background decorations ( 5 years and 3569 days ago )

This is a # 2 pencil drawing. There is no source image for this drawing, it is all my design. In my original plan I had added a few items that I removed after re-reading the contest guidelines of not adding other items. (5 years and 3567 days ago)
