Personal Sigils
CryojenX wrote: A little background on my concept for Adi's sigil. I sense in Adi a soul of great untapped potential, grace and beauty of spirit, but there is also strength there as well. Given that Adi is Episcopalian as well as Jedi, I made sure to evoke cross imagery. To represent grace, I chose to eschew my usual very tribal style in favor of a visual that was evocative of flowing ribbons. Also, when I think of grace and beauty, and also coming out of a difficult part into a more optimistic new period in life, I can't help but be reminded of the French Belle Epoch. And nothing I know of from that era so succinctly sums up combined beauty and strength as does the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower.
So that was my thought process going into this. I humbly present to you, Adi Vas' personal sigil:

I wonder how you can make those lines so smooth.. It is really an impressive skill. :blush:

After scanning in the rough pencil draft, I recreate in a vector format in Adobe Illustrator. I haven't gotten the hang of the bezier curves yet, so in the large file (I export a super high res png file) you might still see some angled areas, but they all smooth out and disappear when you scale it down to normal size. And thanks!

Always be mindful during meditation that the superficial image is a reflection of the Ego, and that it is the hidden mysteries that one continues to find in its lines during reflection over time, and their effects on the unconscious aspect of the psyche that are most important. I do have concerns that people will become too attached to their sigils, however that is each person's hard work to do in finding a balance.

There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me

My ego and I have an agreement...
![:) :)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png)
I cater to a whim here and there (such as the orange font and clown pictures) and, it allows me to make fun of it, knowing it is a goofball, and it is not to be taken too serious...
Most here understand about symbols...

After all, the gutteral string of sounds (spoken words), or pictures that we draw/write (letters and numbers) are only symbols for communication....

It is the emotional "weight" or "value" you put on it that makes it become "attachment"....
The more "weight" it has, the more it can hold you back/down....
The less "weight", the easier it is to remain "light" and "buoyant"....
That's how I see it, does make sense?
