Wed Feb 26, 2014 1:30 pm Holy Symbols - High Res?

Hello!

I've undertaken a small miniatures project where I'm trying to recreate some of the clerics/paladins of the Greyhawk gods.

In that vain, I've decided that my freehand painting skills are bad to poor. What to do? Decals! Mainly, print my own, then transfer them to the models.

The problem I'm having is that I cannot find hi-res images of the holy symbols that allow me the opportunity to shrink them to the appropriate size.

I'm specifically looking for Wee Jas, Cuthbert, Boccob, and Fharlanghn to start, though, I should probably have images for all of the main deities for this project.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Google is letting me down for once...

Thanks,

Aluvial

You probably won't find images of good enough quality for what you want, so what to do? Draw your own images of whatever holy symbols you want, color them in, and make high-res scans of them. Then, shrink them down to the desired size (vector-based software, like Adobe Illustrator(or some sort of similar freeware), is the best for this iirc), print them on decal paper, and seal the decal paper before using them.

Okay, thanks. I though it anyone knew if it preexisted, then this would be the place to ask.

I realize that there is copyright infringement for using the original work, yet...
