Doctor Perils Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sorry to break the thread of conversation here a bit, but I've just discovered the Crusaders' badge, which gave me an idea for the NightGuard's badge. http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_11299/gallery_77459_11299_25264.jpg If we replace the Skull with an Eye, I think it will look sufficiently close to Malcador's sigil to recognise it as such, but different enough that we won't confuse it with the Knights Errant.

Nomus Sardauk Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think I've found the perfect candidate eye for your suggestion Thorn, although it is unfortunately rather large and beyond my current abilities to marry the two symbols together. Regardless, check out this beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomus Sardauk Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited)  I think I've found the perfect candidate eye for your suggestion Thorn, although it is unfortunately rather large and beyond my current abilities to marry the two symbols together. Regardless, check out this beauty!  I think I could work with that http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png   Excellent, I look forward to seeing the fruit of your efforts. http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png  EDIT:  One more option to add to the pile for consideration regarding the Grave Stalker's emblem (and personally I can't believe I didn't remember this one sooner) we have this skull design originally made famous by Spartan Emile-239 in Halo Reach: http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_10668/sml_gallery_49041_10668_3629.jpg  In all honesty, I think I like this one better than the previous two, though I do worry it's a little... Messy? Or am I just over-thinking it again? Let me know your thoughts brothers. Edited May 10, 2016 by SanguiniusReborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Maybe a cracked, chipped looking skull? I'd say stay away from copying established designs, but I'm digging the whole "messy" skull concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah copying could cheapen the effort of grifft. Nonetheless....the last is cool. I would get rid of the lower jaw amd add the messy design of the first and you have something new :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The Grave Stalkers a bit like the Night Lords, right?  A winged skull would be too similar. Maybe a horned skull? Are you familiar with Kel'Thuzad? Something like this?  httP://img02.deviantart.net/aa66/i/2013/113/c/9/kel_thuzad_by_velespainter-d62pqtp.jpg  Without the Egyptian details?

Sigismund229 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016      The Crimson Lions symbol is a side view of a lion's head. The head is dark red while the surrounding shoulder pad is bronze.  Hey Sig, would something like this (minus the Crown part) be what you're after?   http://overwatch.blizzplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/reinhardt-spray-2-emblem.png    I also tried whipping up a symbol for the Scions, ended up with two different options, please tell me what you guys think:      Yup minus the crown and less angular that's what I imagined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Drakzilla~ Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 How about something like this for the base Grave Stalkers skull, with damage added later? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4OxGy29hjMsQ2RnaTlELTlGdUk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of why I liked and chose the previous skulls was because they looked messy and sinister, like the kind of thing you'd find daubed on the walls in blood at a murder scene as a calling card, ya'know?

~Drakzilla~ Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yea, I think it definitely needs to be rough and "improvised" looking, that was just an idea for what the actual image would be based on. I'm really liking the modified Emile skull, but I feel it needs something to make it more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomus Sardauk Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Okay, no jaw, red skull, white background. Thoughts?
