Final version

This is the final version. Some remarks of Martin Tregale Bigpond are used and the final touch cam from my wife Judith. I'm done now, it's ready for the next step.
Thanks to everybody who took the trouble to edit the text.

With a litlle help from my friends …

After consulting members of the LinkedIn-group 'llustrators seeking Writers / Writers seeking Illustrators', I got some good advise and cronstructive comment. Thank you Chris, Steve, Pbha and Karen.
Steve pointed out that the oppening line was a litlle weak, so I changed it, hopefully improved it.
And Karen … what can I say about Karen.  She took the effort of editting the text for misspelling and awkward English. You will find the result here, perhaps you have to scroll a litlle.
I'm verry greathfull to them all and proud of the result.
All I need te do now, is find an editor in Sevilla [or Spain] who want's to publish this.

Challenge

I made a poster out of 4 pages of drawing and writing and I translated the text to english.
It still has to be checked by some one with more english skills then mine. But here it is [in low resolution].
Click on it to enlarge …

Finishing touch going on

I didn't like the stake at page 4. So I used most of my saterday to find out how to improve that.  It wasn't wasted time in my opinion. Now I'm content. If I only take my time …

Annoying details

Now that the story is complete, I start to look at it very carefully. I notice annoying litlle things.

For example the hair of the lover on page two is just bad drawing. Besides that is the key moment of the story, the treason of Suson. And that moment is a small drawing in the corner of the page.
I redraw the hair and rearrange the page totaly, even the text.
Now I'm more content, now it's a more dramatic lay out.
Ofcourse I have to look at other pages aswell. The kiss on page one … not good. The fire and smok on page four dito.

Last page

Page 3

And page three is done … I think. 

I often change things after a while because I'm not 100% content.

I use photo's and paintings for 'model'. In this page for instances I was inspired by Goya's painting of the inquisition and some portraits of various renaissance painters.
