I am looking for some who has artistc talent on the computer. I want to change my personal logo. I want to keep some parts of the original but I want to change other parts.

I want to keep the tiger & dragon, and the oval shape. I also want to keep the Universal symbol bit I want it to be gray to signify the gray matte that makes all tick. But I want to get rid of the person in the center. I want to have the Yin Yang symbol put into the background behind the universal symbol. I also want the hand over fist that is very prevailent win the kenpo world to be over laid on the Universal symbol. I also want color. I would like to be able to find white, yellow, orange purple, blue, green, brown & black in the logo. I know where some of the colors will tie in, the white & Black in teh yin Yang, orange for the tiger, green for the dragon,, the yellow, purple and blue, I am uncertain of.

If anyone has the ability to create what I envision let me know and we can negotiate a fair price.

I'm looking for an artist also.

I would like a picture of a green dragon fighting with a black dragon. This picture is just for me and has personal significance. I'd like to hang it on my wall and I will be willing to pay for the labor of drawing/painting/computer work.

Thank you,

I was really hoping we had an up and coming artist here on MT. Commercial artists tend to charge more than I can afford. I once had to the ablity to do most of what I wanted but as Windows grew to be bigger and better their paint programs seemed to be getting worse

From what I have been told the work I want done should be very simple for someone who is very good with Paint and other such products.

Thank you. I like the design of your dragon on your logo.

As I mentioned, I am looking for two dragons fighting. It is important that the color of one be green and the other be black/gray. the battle should be relatively equal or at least the green one should look like it might be winning.

Thank you,

I know Oriental dragons are recognized by the number of their toes (three, four, or five) and generally have beautiful colors. The Western ones (that I've seen) often don't have scales and are more reptilian.

I do have a preference for oriental dragons--number of toes related to their origin doesn't matter to me. If I have to pick toes, then the green dragon would be Japanese/Okinawan. Wings are a nice touch, but not required. What is important is their fight and their respective overall colors (black vs. green).

The alternative is to right click on the picture and save it to your harddrive, then re-sizing with your photo/picture software. It may lose some resolution, but this should work better in giving you an idea of what can be done with his logo.

I did save it that way, when chaged the picture properties it did lose a great deal of detail, so instead of modifying it I started redrawing it in PSP and another version in Bryce 5 (3D software), I could do it in a number of different programs (3D studio Max,TrueSpace,Maya,Cool3D,etc...) But since I am just playing I opted for the 2 easiest programs to use....

Any other suggestions of good dragon illustrators out there? Thank you.

I had one person ask me what the purpose of my search for an illustrator. The picture of two dragons fighting (green dragon and black dragon) is a symbol of my personal struggle, and reminds me of my journey. It is to be hung upon my wall. I acknowledge for a good picture, this will take some $$.
