Finally got around to replacing my horrible blog banner. =)
I did the original sketch for this some time in late June, and started painting at the same time I did the Bluestocking Firefly Banner, but I only just got round to finishing it this afternoon:
I think it looks much better than the quickly-thrown-together one I had up before.
This was inked with a brush and Art Spectrum sepia ink, and painted in Winsor & Newton watercolours. The text and the sketches (from my sketchbooks) on the papers were added using Photoshop
And for your amusement, here is an animation of its creation:
