| Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! i don't think the wings look imperial enough(or were you trying to aviod that),if so i think it looks great ,love the evil skull, if the wings are on tthe skull?you could try and and carry them on to the temples of the skull? but if they're behind then it looks perfect Lord Commander Erus  and yes it would look great as a tattoo*thinks *imagine that across your back

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! The wings and skull were spliced from two different images I had on file... Ideally, the wings would look like this:  But in red, and fully fleshed out (no tips cut off, etc..). Sadly, until I *ahem* acquire and re-learn photshop, that's not possible. But hey, for a 10 mins job in paint, not bad I think. Thanks for the critique, even thoug hi'm not sure how you mean to adjust the wings Judd.

Blog Entries: 1  | Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! I really like it Erus. As I said on MSN it looks a bit Chaos 'ee' but you explained why that was. So on that note I think it works. However maybe an idea to soften the wings a bit by making them fatter, more of them and maybe a bit less pointy. ^That may not be as good, but it could work!

Blog Entries: 4 | Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! For some reason I can imagine the wings being downswept and dripping blood, but the skull is very well done.

Blog Entries: 2 | Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! Sweet! I like the skull as it's stylized and at angle. The wings really depend on the look you want and if you're doing this on your guys freehand. I really like what you've done here.

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! I intend to make waterslide transfers, and would really like an actual feathered wing look, though tattered. Like the image I posted of just the wings. Although, ideally they'd be colored red too. I don't like busy icons and symbols, so the dripping blood thing is out. I've always thought things like that are just OTT.

| Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! good point buddy! alot of blood would be just too much. red tattered wings might do the trick.

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: Black Saints Chapter Icon! If I didn't feel like I'd been beaten up by a rather disgruntled Astartes with 'roid rage, I'd be working on this icon. But I have work in 30 mins and can barely move, lol. Ahhh well, at least I know the basic concept is taking well!

I like the icon. I LOVE the skull and the wings are ok but lack the "zing" the skull has. I'll see what I can do with them and shoot something to you later this afternoon so you can see it after work. I'll also IM you tonight about the photoshop stuffs.
