These are the 2 finalist 60sec sketches.

Sadly I forgot to get work in progress pictures but I change the style to more medieval style and experimented with pixel brushes for about a week before finally being happy with the helmet and sword. I imported the background image of the the internet because it was kind of the landscape i was looking for and it had very saturated colors. I had wrote the cursive then went adobe captured turned it into a pixel based shape. i then touched it up by had and tried to give it that whispy look.
