The Normish Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Alright everyone, remember how I said I was going to work on some seal designs for the Brotherhood? Well, here are three possibilities: The top one is my favorite. An Inquistorial I with a B, o, and H to initial our name, with the name written out in full and our motto. A Bolter and a Chainsword, in honor of the place where we started out, and all that in a panel. At the top of the panel is the url for our own website. The middle one was the first idea I had. An Aquila gripping a brush and a hobby knife, superimposed by a Bolter. The "IBH" thing is there, as is a small initialed-in "B&C". Again, the url (this one is incorrect), and the motto. The last one is pretty self explanatory. So, what do you think? If you want I can have a go at the previously suggested design, but I'm no good at skulls.

Lestat Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I like the second one to be honest - it's design is deeply rooted in the 40K universe with the aquila, bolter etc. I would be tempted to lose the bolter though - just so you can see the brush and hobby knife better.

KhornateKiller Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'd have to go with the second one as my fav to, Great work Normish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Great work Normish! I think the second one is good, suits being the header of a website or topic IMO and it has everything we need incorporated into the design. As I mentioned on the IBoH forum I'd be willing to model whatever design everyone agrees on in maya and take some nice renders of it add titles in Pshop and whatnot.

Dosjetka Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I actually prefer the third, though the second one is good too :) Great work The Normish! Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ That might be a good idea, because I suck at using Photoshop. Always been a more traditional artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I like the second one most too ^_^ Perhaps for the "cementing friendship through miniatures" you could just put it in the wings? Just so its not floating around like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'll see if I can do that... I'll tally votes for the moment though. First Design: 1 Second Design: 8 Third Design: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thanks for doing those for us Normish. My vote goes with number 2 as well. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 See, while I love number 2 (teehee), it's too rooted in the 40k Universe. I think you should add in a WHFB symbol as well, to even it out. But otherwise, Number 2 (teehee) has my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, doesn't the Empire also have some double-headed eagles? Perhaps I'll stylize it to look less futuristic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 How about a version of the second design which is my personal favorite. Perhaps placing the Aquilla on a shield and adding a scroll with "cementing friendship through miniatures" to the bottom of the shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So guys, guess what!? Besides painting non-pa stuff, check my log. I did paint some more power armour! Pics commencing shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps placing the Aquilla on a shield and adding a scroll with "cementing friendship through miniatures" to the bottom of the shield? This sounds like a plan. It kinda ties it in with Fantasy and I think would give it a nice heraldic feel to it. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 1 vote for the second one here. Looks good, Normish, awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Well my 48hr trial of XBox Live is over. While Reach still beckons to me I feel the need to hold a paint brush again so I'll be around a little bit more now. I had an idea the other day after a conversation with my brother, some input I gave Lestat a wee while ago on his jetbike and a couple of other things as well all coalesced into this: http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8953.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8954.jpg http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8952.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/DSCF8951.jpg Basically I figure that the Lascannon is a precision weapon so it would make sense to be fired as one. Now I know that PA'd marines can lug them around like they weigh nothing, but PA can't make you shoot straight, so I figured it was about time we saw Lascannon being used as it is desribed.... He's perched on some blu-tac as I haven't made a base for him yet, but hopefully you'll agree that it's none too shabby for an afternoon's work (although I cheated slightly in that the torso and legs had already been made) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Love it James he looks great !!! Ooze's Ray Gun nastiness :D EDIT OK now that i got the NMM down to this standard http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp298/KhorneKiller/Image0386.jpg What do you reckon an entire suit of PA would look like ?? Too much ? I'm starting to feel either a bit cocky i can pull it off or incredible stupid :D Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Alright, here is the first draft of what I hope will be the final design: I incorporated the Aquila design which everyone loved so much, with a shield (thus unifying both Warhammers), and then inscribing the shield with the Brotherhood motto and the IBoH symbols I liked from one of my previous designs. Then I put the scrolls at the top, and some purity seals (which are common in both Universes, at the bottom. Overall, I think it creates a nice balance. If you like it, I'll start work on a cleaner version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think you've cracked it Normish, a little tidying up and I think we have our new seal. KK, cheers mate. I think you should try a whole suit of PA. If you reckon you can do it then go for it :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Anthony Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 WEEE...I've cracked the mystery of my wifes camera. I hope to post some pics tonight. The second logo looks cool but almost a bit too busy maybe. I don't know I'll have to take a look at it again. If you need any help with Photoshop let me know...I've illustrated a few comic books and colored a few pages before. everybodys stuff looks great. Can't wait to post some pics of my minis tonight. see you then.... Brother Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
