    Default Any Takers? (art conquest)

    Well, I've got a symbol in my head. I don't if I've seen it before or if it already exists, but I'd like to see it fleshed out.

    If anyone is willing to help me out, here are the two main points of focus: The base is a circle (like a sun or those circular swords on Soulcalibur) with a large sword pointing up through the middle. The legging is a pair of swords crossed at the hilts (including the hilt of the large sword) with the blades pointing up and out from the base.

    I'm hoping to get a few responses and to see a level of diversity/variety. If I like what I see, I may keep it and give credit due (or tweak it). I may actually have others tweak it to get a different take on it. I haven't decided yet.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Here's a quick sketch. If you like it, I'll make a formal picture.

    I think I'd like the three hilts to be closer together... Not sure how I feel about those... plates orbiting the symbol. Could be that the circle in the middle actually looks like a circle so the plates don't make it look like a sun. I don't know though, it might look better in color. The larger sword blade, I think, should also be a little wider. Thanks for contributing.

    Round 2. Again, this a very rough sketch. If you like the feel of it, I'll make a final version.

    Here's the line art. Any particular color preferences? I'm thinking brass and light grey for the center sword, dark grey and red for the curved swords.

    You don't ask a lot do you. :P
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
