Silver Tempest Company - Guild Emblem/Banner
I try to design custom emblems, icons, and banners for communities I run or assist in running. The Silver Tempest icon was no different. It's themes were a mix of Breton and Maormer. Two races that come from the same universe, that being the Elder Scrolls universe. Maormer being sea elves and Bretons being half man/mer hybrids born of Altmeri and Nedic parents.
The Silver Tempest Company's lore intertwines these two races and their emblem definitely had to showcase that. Hence the twin serpents and the shield. It's a very nautical themed emblem due to the Silver Tempest Company being a shipping company in their lore and what better to convey that in an obvious sense than an anchor in the center and an underwater background?
Who doesn't love nautical themes in an emblem?
This one was taking the sea serpents, specifically their likeness from Maormer totems in Elder Scrolls Online and meshing them in with a shield bearing similar design elements with how it's layout.
The emblem/banner with the accompanying text: "Silver Tempest Company" designed for my ESO guild of that same name.
The beginning stages of the emblem. Here you can see the shield, the layout of the serpents with the anchor, etc.
I did a side-by-side of my emblem's sketch and the starting stages of properly bringing it to life.
