I know what you mean about the boot. I have thought this all the way through. I just didn't have any good idea on a better way to allow the horn to sit on a table. I can ditch the base entirely and it's really cool looking but the king would have to hold it the entire time...of course, that's what slaves are for, eh?

I think this looks better at less than full resolution. I think I screwed up a little when I scanned it in and I notice some pixelation at full zoom. It was my thought and hope that we wouldn't be needing it at 100% zoom. The original sketch is on a post it note believe it or not so I will probably need to work on it some more if we want the full size.
