Calligrapher Desired

Post by pontius-ft » Fri May 21, 2010 9:53 pm

Here is a symbol for our family. It's our initials (Me, my wife, and our two children, that is, Adam, Jessica, Kelly, and Kurt) combined to make one symbol. I came up with it while bored at work and decided to see if someone would be willing to beautify this concept more than I am capable. My wife would love it if it could be in a Lord of the Rings styled script. But I'd settle for it looking like actual calligraphy. We plan on possibly having a small version of it tattooed one day, maybe. Of course if someone is willing to draw this for free, I'll take the offer (who doesn't like free?). But I'm not beyond negotiation. So any suggestions? Is there another site I should try? Thank you all.

Thanks for recommending me, Xam! :oops:

Pontius - I'd be delighted to do this for you! First, I'd like to ask some questions, though, to make sure we're on the same page. :) So - what you're after is something with a decorative font, either like the Lord of the Rings style text:

Or like calligraphy:

Would you like any sort of further calligraphy embellishment on it, for example:

And would you like any other sort of imagery included at all, or just the symbol on its own? I'm assuming you just want it black and white, with neither colour nor any greyscale shading?

I generally do digital work, which would help me to give this piece a much cleaner finish which might help for potential tattooing - does that sound okay? :D

Just in case you want to take a little look at my art, there's some here: http://foxbane.deviantart.com/gallery/ :)
