Additional Notes: The recipient of this award selected both the illumination style and the script
The Rook is an Ansteorran children's award. Benjamin picked out the style of the scroll. He liked the textura quadrata script, so I designed a border to go with that script. The award was done on Arches hot press watercolor paper using guache paints.
