When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

If you've read Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel trilogy, you'll understand this. If you haven't, well ... Phedre (the "heroine" of the books) has a marque / tattoo covering her back, put there as a sign of her trade as an anguissette. The official version isn't great - well, I think so - [link] - at least it doesn't follow the book description very well:
"With some effort, I recognised the underlying design, which was based on a very old pattern, the briar rose. Somehow Master Tielhard had kept the dramatic vigor of the archaic lines, yet infused them with a subtlety that spoke at once of the vine, the bond and the lash. The thorny lines were stark black, accented in only a few choice hollows with a teardrop of scarlet - a petal, a drop of blood, the mote in my eye." Anyway, I'm working on a picture of Phèdre and Joscelin from the books, and kind of got waylaid into making marque designs ... Shitty, crappy scan. Apologies. Scanner having a bad day! |

We're done here.
I think I like the second one best, with just the three petals colored red - and the heart shape in the stem.
Though, i do like the stem on the third one, with the ring around the middle. The leaf shape, also, is particularly suited to the anguisette.
Wonderful designs! And great job on the calligraphy!!
