dermorian:
since they\'re elves which are (usually) related to nature, forests and trees i used a tree symbol ...but i think it could use something else beside a tree (not to be confuzed with the actual trees)

diaboli:
well, since they have tails, i just drew a tail :))

enkiduakai:
there\'s the wiskers (on the left) which are coinsidently also shaped as an E (as in enkidukai) or a paw-scratch. the top side should be two ears - the left one prolonging into a tail.
it\'s not really really logical, but i like this symbol the best :]

klyros:
basically it\'s a klyros head with the fan (or whatever it is) on the top of the head, and the wings on the back
agian, not really logical, but i like it :]

kran:
well, it\'s a kran head

lemur:
since lemur are fragile, thin, pale and elegant, i used the same for the curves - it should be a lemur stick-man

nolthrir:
since nolthrir live under water, i drew some kind of an eye with a tear of some sort
the .svg looks better, i don\'t know why

stonebreaker:
well, it\'s a stone that\'s broken ...not really photo-realistic, but still

xacha:
well, the symbol is very similar to the one for ylian, but has a little mayan touch to it (the square mouth and the spiral on top - representing some jewelry maybe)...i don\'t know xacha just remind me of maya and aztecs

ylian:
it\'s a kind of a face: two eyes, a nose and a triangular beard


something i couldn\'t fit into the previous post (post too big):

ynnwn:

png
svg

since ynnwn are a mix of diaboli and dermorian, it\'s a horned head, with a tree (dermorian symbol) in it ...it\'s probably the worst symbol i\'ve made graphically, but i think it\'s a good idea for showing mixed races.

on a completely different note i\'d like to say that i really like the idea of having alchemical symbols in PS ...preferably some we\'ll think of ourselves. i\'d REALLY enjoy having to translate alchemical recepies from a symbolian writing ...it\'d add some real fun into it!!! ...but not having the labels in the alchemical symbols on the ingridients - you\'d have to learn what\'s what.

Hi!

I\'ve been playing planeshift for some time, but just now I decided to take a look at the foruns.

Some textures:

http://www.grsites.com/textures/
http://textures.forrest.cz/
http://www.hfahrnholz.de/noctua-graphics/english/fraset_e.htm
http://www.digitalanimators.com/HTM/Resources/Textures/TexturesMain.htm

There are thousands of textures in these web pages, maybe some can be used (rock, metal, water, grass, wood).

PS: Sorry about my english, it\'s horrible. But I think it\'s possible to understand. lol :)

The info that comes with those sites and use might be bit worrying, except the 3rd one.

If there are some textures which have a copyright I had no further intentions to show them there. I have been collecting all these textures for a while from servers where they were available on a royalty free basis so I do not supose there are some with a copyright.

I got some messages that in library are a lot of commercial textures with copyright. Now i don\'t know what textures are free and what are not.

Take a look at this link:

http://www.witch-crafted.com/symbol.htm

You\'ll find some alphabets and pagan symbols that could be used to write things like magic, alquemy potions or ritual instructions.

Could also be used as ornaments for weapons, armors, clothes, constructions and many other things...

Another idea is to make an heptagonal shape around every symbol symbolizing the Azure Sun.

I\'m trying to create an alphabet, but it will take some time...  :P

[edit]

Also take a look at this part of the web site:

http://www.witch-crafted.com/graph.htm

You\'ll find more pagan grafics, symbols and alphabets.

just some shapes, they\'d obviously have to be simplified, because there\'s too many edges and details, but the general shape could be cool (yes, the images are huge, sorry)
