No I didn't like the design I came up with, nothing to with with Blender Got too smart for my birches... or something I'll probably end up doing some "post-processing" in GIMP, Inkscape and or Krita (outlines perhaps?).

My goal is to do as much as possible in Blender, because my underlying goal in doing all this stuff in Blender lately is to learn more about it and speed up my work in it. I'll be posting some progress tonight methinks. Finally the manner in which materials and textures work and UV mapping clicked for me. So things should be looking better, though I haven't fully developed the materials being used yet.
