Just a quick note to share a little something in order to give back to the community that inspires so well.
The Digi-Bantha Skull file is my interpretation of a “Star Warsy” Bantha Skull symbol, meaning that it’s a little more consistent with the original trilogy’s esthetic (to my eye anyway ).
I designed the graphic for a close friend who happens to be a responsible gun collector, because he wanted Bantha Skull images lasered onto his FAL magazines.
Please find the different file versions for your use as you see fit
Awesome, thanks for sharing! I especially like how the second one looks weathered!
P.s.- Just in case you run across any “hard-core” fans of Mandolorians, that is actually a mythosaur skull. The bantha skull reference is a common mistake, though. Only say it out loud to people if you want “star wars super-nerd” status.
Yeah, I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to get multi layer designs to look good for most of materials I’ve tried. Most of the time I run all my graphics through the threshold command in gimp, which forces everything to be fully binary.
In this case I think it would look at least interesting if you did the 3D/vary power engrave because then the black part would be deeper than the grey, but that only really works in something you can go deeply into - no so much on a magazine.
