Title: Anyone decent at drawing?
Post by: Stogi on October 23, 2012, 09:05:25 PM

I'm trying to make a family crest/sigil and I got an idea but I'm not the greatest artist. Here's what I was thinking:

I want the elephant do be our animal and our motto about light. Any ideas?

This sounds game of throne-ish and it really is, but I've been wanting to do this before I heard of game of thrones.

I'm using a combination of photoshop and flash. I first traced your image in Flash, so i would get a nice vector image, then i found a nice celtic knot pattern on google and matted out spots i wanted the knots to show up. I'd drawn the knots myself, but i cant find my damn stylus. I used images of the book of kells off wikipedia for textures and inspiration, as well as a native american indian art text book. Then I googled elephant sura, and sure enough there was one. In photoshop i did a bunch of experiments with filters. Its hard to get exactly the look you want.
