    Default Customized Compass Rose

    I've been working up some supporting art to go with my latest large map project. This compass rose uses the heraldry of the ruling family, adds a couple of hounds leaping out to the east and west carved into the underlying stone, which is a blood marble (custom-made texture). The bevels for the dagger, eye, eagle, and wreath were done in Inkscape. All other effects were in GIMP. Rendering physical objects is a bit out of my comfort zone, so I'd appreciate some advice on how to tweak this.

    [EDIT]After some consideration, I chucked that attempt and started over using a compass vector drawing tutorial to yield the following:

    Still happy to take suggestions on how to improve this.
