Playing with some more effects and different pictures, mostly by [livejournal.com profile] frostfox - think I'm beginning to get better results. I'm starting to think in terms of a collage of a lot of different coins for the cover, rather than all the same, so none of this is entirely wasted effort.

I hope.




Tiamath's flag on copper coin (one of my pics for a change)


Great Sea Serpent, gold coin. I rather like the lines but if I was planning on doing it bigger it would need to be neatened up considerably.


Dragon's Egg on copper coin. Needs a bit more background detail.



Later - added another Great Sea Serpent variant

I think that the lines and circles make the sea serpent coins too busy, especially the circles one. The sea serpent is kinda lost in the midst of them.

I've noticed that all your coins are missing some things that seem to be pretty common on all the coins I've seen: year of minting, denomination, country they belong to, maybe a motto in Latin...

I know, but the trouble is that whatever language the dragons use, I very much doubt it would be recognizable to us. Probably some sort of Welsh rune, but I really don't want to mess with that if I don't have to in case I accidentally say something very rude.
