I’m a Krita user for many years now, this is one of my favorite works I did last year. I often challenge myself to only use the default brushes shipped with Krita, to show how powerful they are. This is one of these works.
No, the script on the scroll is not Russian and I have no idea what it says x3 (chances are it doesn’t mean anything though). Although I use some Cyrillic letters sometimes (like on the book), the words itself are usually not actual Russian, I simply like the arcane look the characters have.
