Scrolls

Jade of Starfall's Duke scroll, by Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova

"Another leopard scroll and the idea is getting a bit old.
I'm not pleased by the composition. Too much action is taking
place in the middle and on the right-hand side; it's not
balanced by the rather uninteresting tree trunk on the left.
A big illuminated letter and bold line of text over there would
have improved things. The outlining around the illuminated area
is too heavy-handed, as well. No, that is not toilet paper
wound through the tree; it's scrolling for the signatures.
Someone said they liked the leopard staring hungrily at the
double-headed eagle; the effect was actually not intended." -- Tatiana
