Mar / Apr 2016 Lite Challenge: Celtic Compass

[ThomasR]

So, I'm leaping into the ring !

After a few sketching I decided to go for a celtic like compass. I want to try so draw some celtic knots and I'm gonna try to use some vegetation like ornaments. No named cardinal points, I'll go full picture on this.

Here's the first sketch :

I won't have much time to invest on this so I'll draw today and the result will most likely be posted tomorrow (I hope).

Nice idea! Looking forward to seeing your next update.

Incredible what you can achieve with 2 hours and a good archeology podcast !

The file is a PNG. The tiny details won't be really noticeable as a little compass but could work well as a watermark on a parchment texture.

Every element is on a separate layer so, the color can be tweaked.

Welcome to the challenge. Great compass.

Wow! That's looks awesome! What a great idea!

[ThomasR]

Thanks Bogie and Josiah. By the way, Josiah, I'm very impressed by your compass. It's really well balanced and I love the graphite feel of your linework.

I just realized the file had this nasty white background so, here's the good one

you might want to put the latest work in progress stuff right before it so the thumbnail scraper can pick it up.

I like it. That is a great looking compass.
