I need an artist...

with something more fitting for the encyclopedia.

Transparent background is a must.

Bonus points if you can get me a corresponding image for the bottom coin:

Bonus points if it's a Cordorian (or Andunorian!) coin, or other similar in game currency.

Hi,
have you got any basic idea or sketch or what would you like to see in few words?

The Arelith "A" logo was my first thought. However, graphics design is not my strong point, sleo I'm trying not to steer too hard in a particular direction.

I believe Symph is looking at this (and, more ambitiously, at the whole EA skin) so you might want to check in with him.

I went to Cordor for some screenshots (Wow, new Cordor!), and, I'm thinking of doing heads/tails State/Church. That is, Meeting Hall on the front (top of page) and Church of the Trinity on the back.

I am kind of going for "Hey maybe this is the "Gold" that everyone has been having this whole time. Maybe not.

This is some rough work based on first fast pass on everything. First gold I could find, first screenshot render. I'm not firm on anything, and especially want some lettering around the edges of the coin, and maybe something to fill in the bottom.

Anyone have any ideas?

I guess I could give it a whirl, but my style is more comic-booky.

Here is a new back and front render.

Drawing people sucks, especially trying to do eyes and lips in a height map environment. I'll likely revisit her features, and this is of course a temp with elements from the above back of the coin.

A new background and possibly new text is likely warranted as well.

In absence of any descriptions of Lady Cordoria, I decided to use the Caldenei model from NWN as the IG used representation of Myrella Cordor, Matriarch of the original Cordor aristocracy.
