Artisticly inclined needed

[Anamatar IV]

Could some of the artisticly inclined help me? What I need is a picture fitting each of these descriptions (the color is not so important....it is the shape that I have tried numerous attempt [all failing] at that I need)

1.

A sword with a curved blade (not like a scimitar....like Sting almost but not with such a large curve....hmm....very subtle curve. The curve isn't that important though;)) a short hilt, and a dark or black blade.

2.

A brooch in the shape of an eagle made out of a sword (not the same sword as above).

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm...interesting- I do believe I'll try it, tho I've never reallly designed and jewellry or weapons.

[Scatha]

I'd be willing to design these for you, when I have returned from moving, Anamatar.

This might be of some use, or no use, I don't know!

Taking a break from my job application forms :)

I'd be more than willing to help. I've designed swords a couple of different times. Once for my friend in an RPG, another time for cover art for my friend's book (hopefully when she sends it in they'll accept it and publish it). But enough talk about that.

How exactly do you want the sword coming out of the eagle? Like, how is the sword going to be positioned when worn? Horizontal? Vertical? and same for the eagle, how do you want it to look when worn?

[Anamatar IV]

Mmmm the brooch would be worn horizontally. The eagle would be longwise down the sword.:)

Here's a couple of ideas I just scetched out. I didn't color 'em yet, but at least you could critique a bit if you wanted.

This is similar to googoofighter's Sword 2, but with curved blade and angled eagle head.

I think you artists should read the description given by Anamatar.

However well intended the designs are, this is what Anamatar asked for:


1.

A sword with a curved blade (not like a scimitar....like Sting almost but not with such a large curve....hmm....very subtle curve. The curve isn't that important though) a short hilt, and a dark or black blade.

2.

A brooch in the shape of an eagle made out of a sword (not the same sword as above).

The Eagle-brooch and the sword are two different items.

But I was only submitting a design for the second brief.

However, for inspiration on swords, try www.deltin.it/home.htm

[goofoofighter]

Yeah... I decided not to color my pics because I couldn't find my #4 pencil, I had to use #2, it would have smudged so badly... Ty for the site, btw, I will enjoy looking at it.

If you need a good site for info on swords, armor and all accessories included, check out this site:


Swords in all sizes (Http://www.by-the-sword.com)


I use this site as a reference, since they make medieval copies, made of durable Toledo steel.

I hope this helps. :)
