    I have faith in you. I know you can do it. Looking forward to seeing it. I don't know if it's a good idea it is, and, I am sure it will be different, and unique, what form it ends up taking remains to be seen.

    Just finished this one, although I could work on it for hours yet and change the scroll work more. Even when I think I'm finished when I post I always see places and intersections I don't like.

    With regard to the "Piano Keys" I have imagined the "L" as a "Grand Piano"...

    Hi Max,

    Love that Drop Cap. It immeadiately reminded me of a much loved & missed British comedian Les Dawson, one of who's talents was tho play piano very badly (of course he could play extremely well) So I've modified your Cap as a tribute to Les.

    I like it MAX, But, i feel that the inclusion of the figure unnecessary. My fist impression on seeing the thumbnail was wihat are those angled shapes. I understood looking at the larger view. Which makes me wonder if I was all wet with my idea of piano keys because when reduced to a usable size for use as a Drop Cap the piano keys would mostly be lost. Was a valiant effort on your part. Sorry if I rained on your parade. Anyway I'm sure some of mine might suffer when reduced, i was just thinking, what if the keyboard was moved up, the height increased, and fewer keys? Or something like that. Just throwing out ideas.

    Interesting Drop Cap Egg. Seeing this makes me wonder if I was all wet in my comments to Max. I don't think so but it made me wonder.

    Lots of really great Drop Caps this month. I was tempted to do another raster based image this time, but I do prefer working with just vectors.
    So this is a simple embossed design, using the font Funkydori by Laura Worthington (free for personal use). I added a noise texture from Filter Forge,
    which I vectorized using Vector Magic, with a flat contrast transparency.
