Art Part 3

Part three of my Black Ops emblem gallery!

Dead Man's Hand

(Aces backed with eights)

I made this one a couple weeks ago and forgot about it.  This was the very first idea I had for a Black Ops emblem but I didn't have all the parts unlocked that I needed so my first emblem was a lamer version of this with just the A, 8, spade, and a club.  I kind of wish I had saved this because I actually like it better than the Death Card emblem. That's OK though because tonight I made a new emblem...

Ghost Recon

As simple as this looks it actually took me a while to figure out.  I'm not really a long time fan of the Ghost Recon series, but recent developments have given me a vested interest in it.  I think it's cool that you can duplicate the logo for a more-or-less competing game and nobody gives a damn.  Well there's probably some lawyer or bureaucrat who's chaffing at it but they haven't been jumping on people for this kind of thing as far as I know.  It makes the industry feel more like a community when everyone gets along.  GRFS represent!

Art: Part 2 and Black Ops Tarot

Time for more Black Ops emblem fun.  First up is an idea that came to me one night lying in bed trying to sleep, as the best ideas often do:

The P0wn Shop

(Open for business)

I was pleased to no end when I got that one to work!  I also had the desire to make a more aggressive emblem that would put forth the enormity of my bad-assedness.  But I wanted to do something a little more high-brow.  Then I thought of this:

Death

Look familiar?  It's my interpretation of the Death card from the classic tarot arcana. "What the hell is that"? you might ask.  You can read about it here.  Each tarot deck has a little different image for each card but all of them are variations on the same theme.  Basically this depicts death trampling a king, and shows that death comes for us all.  Now that I've made this I kind of want to do one for each major arcana.  I'm up to level 29 first prestige so I've got plenty of cash for a project like that.
