I've never really spent any effort trying to make a decent compass rose before, so this is a good opportunity I think. I am going to try to make a standard sword and shield thing with the sword pointing north. I'm not very good at illustrations (which is what this type is a bit more) in fact I'm pretty poor at illustrations but I thought I'd try anyway.

So here goes... I started out with a graph paper because I find it easier to draw things on real pen and paper, but I will trace it over in photoshop after. Both of the sketches I made somehow failed and end up having the shield way too small, but it's something I will fix.

Here is the early draft:

I also made a test normal compass rose because I wasn't sure what kind I was going to do then. I like it but it's too standard so I think I'm going to stick with the sword and shield.
