And I'm going to pretend it didn't take me hours in Photoshop to design that.
Planning to put the winning on on shields and the like too.

Also, if anyone could accurately make this for me, shoot over a pm.

Assuming you're just talking about the symbol, either looks good, though I'm partial to the full particolor (quadrant) version, myself.

The tunic pattern looks modern and terrible and wouldn't drape right, either. Appliqued onto a particolor kyrtle, however, that symbol would look hella nice.


I can make such a thing, but it'll be a month or more before it's done, probably. I have a few commissions in line ahead of you and school is starting back up. Complicated applique, too...

What fabrics were you thinking?

I prefer the second one, the half and half, instead of quartered. I feel that that quartered one is too busy, and the second is more astheticly pleasing.

i agree that the one with quadrants looks really busy.. it looks like a whirlwind of doom... which could be a good distraction on the battle field, if that's what you're going for.

i would say for a tunic i like the 2nd one, just less busy and more pleasing to the eye. though i think on a round shield the 4 quad would look really wicked.....so undecided?

The design of the second one is preferable, for the reason, as mentioned, that it is less busy, thus more visually pleasing.
