Shadow Captain Corveus Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This is the colour scheme for my Forest Brethren chapter, I need a chapter symbol to paint freehand onto the shoulder pads. The chapter is based on a Forest Planet and has a strong Tribal/Barbarian/Early Celtic imagery associated with it. I just thought I'd ask you guys for a hand on deciding the; 1) Colour and 2) Design of the symbol. (It needs to fit both the current colour scheme and the theme of my chapter and not be too hard to freehand!) Any ideas are welcome, I'll pick the best one and put it on my entire chapter :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 As for color, I'd go with white, to contrast. As for design, just do an image search on your engine of choice and look for "Celtic symbols" or something, then pick your fancy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Just dont use any Axe symbols as thats opposite to the tree concept. If i were you, and im not sure how far your fine brushing is I would use the tree of life symbol * google it* its got lots of swirls,and interlocking knots. but it would look sweet. My other idea for the Forest Brethren is my be a Deer/ Elk antlers and a sword threw it. kinda like a twist on Kernunnos the celtic/ welsh god of forestry, war, death, and fertility. hope all my assistance helped.

Myxx Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ummm... a tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadowlord Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The Celtic Tree of Life immediately springs to mind, but that culd be devilishly hard to free hand if you can't get hold of decal paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyen Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'd say a tree or a celtic cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Did a bit of browsing and found this: http://b.imagehost.org/0188/tree1.jpg Which I think would look pretty neat on a shoulder pad and actually not be too hard to freehand, as well as matching your colour scheme.

Sgt. Aardappel Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 http://manythingsdonotfly.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/celtic52_large.gif Isn't very hard to simplify and freehand. Get something like a toothpick to do the lines, et tada! (Don't take me responsible for the amount of time it'll take to freehand 'em all though! :huh:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Corveus Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs31/f/2008/213/f/c/Celtic_Tree_Of_Life_Tattoo_by_Sinnersandsaints08.jpg Looking at this one, the branches aren't actually that inter twined, there are some in the foreground and background that are merely looped a short distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I definitely agree with the Normish about the contrasting white. I dunno why but it seems very celtic-y to me. And the tree of life thing is very dopage, I would do something like that... If I could be bothered :P but it's definitely the best one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 If they do decals for the LOTR line then the white tree of Gondor would work great against that green armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
