Mar / Apr 2016 Lite Challenge: Sword and Shield Compass Rose

[Diamond]

Oh yeah, I feel some Norse mapping coming on!

Well, there wasn't too much left to do, so I basically left it untouched until now, I just added a tad bit of colour to the arrows and letters and compiled it so it's ready for people to use. I've never done this sort of thing so is there anything I should know for distributing this?

So here is the colour version...

And for those doing a black and white map:

Anything else to add, suggestions, comments, critiques?
This shall be the final version if I don't think of something or someone suggests something.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions!

Okay, so I was thinking of making use of the helmet somehow, so I thought maybe I could do a map scale too. Nothing fancy, just a spear. I compiled it all into one image so you can cut it out from there if you want to use it for a map. For the scale you'd have to add your own numbers on the scale.

Here it is with a transparent background, just copy it and cut it out to place on a map.




And with a parchment background to make it pretty

Because I traced the outline off of real images, for copyright purposes (as someone may end up using it commercially): The shield, sword, arrow, and spear come off wikipedia. The shield is Thorsberg Shield by Bullenwächter, the sword is Viking Swords taken by viciarg, the spear picture I used was taken by Master z0b.


Any other last minute suggestions?
