Back in the middle-ages monks used to copy books by rewriting them by hand. The first letter of a chapter was most of the times highly decorated, either in black and white or in color. Your goal in this contest is to pick 1 letter and do the same, decorate it anyway you want. Either in traditional medieval style or use something more modern. Your entry can only consists of this one letter, no other letters can be in it. Good luck!
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!
Contest Moderator: These decorated letters were also known as illuminated letters, you can see examples of them here:
