Special Heirloom Knife

[Trunks]

Jon, can you Pm me a bigger version of your avatar & i'll have a look for you. No promises, but i know my way around photoshop

 

[Trunks]

Oh, and an idea of the dimensions you want it to be to fit the bolster.

 

[Trunks]

Ok, just been having a quick play around. Is this on the right lines?

 

[Trunks]

or even

 

[HHazeldean]

This looks like it will be a fantastic knife when finished.

Sweet. Now that is like it. I don't have a bigger version of my avatar anymore as it was on old laptop. Don't need any colour just the black and white outlines. The adder is great, but the scale detail needs to be lost and the zig zag patterning made bolder like the one in my avatar, so the engraving isn't overloaded with too much detail that it turns into a blob. In fact your pic is so cool, I may even replace my avatar. You have the dimensions spot on there for it to be scaled down to the bolster.

Nice one, i'm away for the long weekend, but i'll have a look when i get back. When do you need the artwork for?

We've got a while yet. Stu still has quite a bit of work to do before it's ready for engraving. I really appreciate your help. That adder is a little emaciated too and needs fattening up in the centre.

which would you prefer? A vole of frog-shaped bulge?

You are good at this Mr Trunks, this really could be one of those things we all do then live to regret, I have plans for you

Oh bugger!

 

[stuart m]

Oh bugger!

That IS NOT one of them.....

 

[Trunks]

I'll put the gimp mask back in the box then...

[Wilderbeast]

Trunks, that adder looks more puzzled than bemused, please change accordingly

 

[Trunks]

Hows this one looking?

I just put the blue on for contrast, but it's easy to change to white.

 

[Trunks]

And a colour one too

 

[Trunks]

With slightly thicker keyline around the UK

Cool, I think that one might just do it. If you can do a white background I'll ask Stu to send it to the engravers and see what they think. Cheers mate.
