Introducing The Dark Master's Logo and Avatar

Hello everyone, artistic post today. Finally I found some time to create my personal Logo and Avatar and so, from now on, I’ll post in the various blogs and forums with this special signature 🙂

Anyone visiting my site often (I imagine very few people indeed) noticed for sure that since this morning the Header Image changed! In fact, I modified it to be much more customized to myself, using the images I just produced and am presenting here 😀

There’s maybe something to say about this drawings.

1) How did I realize them?

Using only Open Source software, specifically:

• The Gimp
• Inkscape

2) What do they represent?

• As for the Logo: it is L./T. D. M. Wich means both Luca De Marini (My real name) and The Dark Master. It hasn’t necessary got to be readable, so, don’t bother saying it is difficult to understand 🙂 it’s a personal artistic sign.
• Talking about the Avatar, well, it is complicated… it’s a penguin because I’m a Linux user and enthusiast, it has a sword because I practice historical fencing and am a member of the historical evocation group “Le Lame della Torre” (The Tower’s Blades) and the hat+cloack is because of the Role Playing Game I created… this last part is too much complicated, who knows me can understand it, let’s say that I’m a Guardian ;P The feather on the hat is there because I’m a writer and artist (I write stories and Role Playing Games and I like to draw various things, as you can guess by my website 😛 ) and the penguin has a long beak because all of my friends says that I have a long noose (I really think it is long indeed, but what can I do about it ;D )

Hope you like this!
