For this years Assignment I chose to take on the Maid of Orleans... Joan of Arc. We were free to interpret this book cover anyway we wished through either a historical viewpoint or, as I chose here a more fantastical one. I’ve been wanting to do an angel piece for quite sometime and this was the perfect opportunity to take on the challenge.
