I've been looking for an image I can use as an avatar as well as a wallpaper, that goes with my nick. I can't really find what I'm looking for, and I can't draw even a convincing stick figure. So if anyone has the time or inclanation to design one for me, I would be grateful.

As a basic idea, I image something with a Knight wielding a sword...

Anyone want to give it a go?

I could have a go at a sword in Bryce, but I couldn't do a knight (stick figures are a challenge for me also..)

A sword would be good also. In any case it would be better than what I could do.

just stay away from any imagery involving full suits of armour - many stylised crusader images show this and its just plain old innacurate. whilst helmets were worn in combat - full armour suits were in all likelyhood never used due to praticality issues. the usual garb being chain mail and tabard with the george cross or lion motifs.

I'm not really interested in historically correct images, more of a "fantasy style" image. My nick isn't totally based on the historical Crusaders but a combination of fantasy novels, history and a PC game called Crusader - No Regret.

Yup, they are few and far between but I came across one or two, most RPG's also have Crusader characters.

I liked that game, and the sequel... I am really too busy at the moment to do any image work, but in about a week my schedule should be less hectic.

Funnily enough, I was watching a documentry on the crusades the other day. Disease, hunger, thirst and exposure killed off far more than the enemy ever did. Their outfits didn't help (especially the shoes which were made of flimsy soft leather).

It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it's great! Yet another one to add to my collection. Perhaps I'll have a new one each week!
Thanks for taking the time Grimbug! Appreciate it.
