OOoooooh, my master will LOVE this! Very elaborate Magic Circle. are there ones for Fire and Thunder?

Thank you!

No, the idea was to do different things for each type of magic - for instance, Order magic as a shield - rather than various different arcane circles. Sorry! I did do one for elemental magic, but it's more a "wheel" with all of them than focusing on one particular element.

Can I see it?

Sure :) http://sta.sh/224az5dgns4v

Still incredibly beautiful.

Thank you :)

Nice.

Thanks!

No problem.

wow.... was this on photoshop? illustrator? or wut? lol

Thanks! I considered doing it in Illustrator, but I just ended up doing it in Photoshop :b

That answered part of my question. Would you mind telling me how you get the lines so crisp and clean in Photoshop?

Heh, sure thing! I just used the pen tool :) Once you've created your path, make sure your brush tool is set to the settings you want, then use it to Stroke Path - it'll apply that brush along the path you just made. So if you set your brush to 100% opacity and it's a hard solid brush, it'll come out nice and crisp! If you want it to look all ragged and choppy, just pick a good rough texture brush instead :)

Thank you! I use the pen tool all the time in Illustrator, but I forget about it in Photoshop. :P

Haha, me too! I got into the practice of using it more often since needing to do more lineart for my work.

I love this. Magic circles are some of my favorite works. So would this be with a ritural if used in the game or would this be inscribed into objects. How did you come up with the lettering around the circle?

Thanks a lot :) I have no idea how or if it would be used in the game - it was just one of the suggestions made by the art director - I tried to come up with different images or ideas for each type of magic, and of all the kinds of magic, astral seemed the one that a magic circle best fit - all about the secret workings of time and space and the grand scheme of the cosmos.

As for the lettering, I'd normally have made it all up myself, but since there was so much of it that needed to be done, I just used a font instead. Plus the art director is paying by the hour and generally doesn't like images costing much more than $100-200/piece, so I try to be fast as well as good :b

I love this symbols! <3

Thanks :3

Love the crispness of the lines and the overall design. Beautiful :)

Hey, thank you kindly :3

Do the symbols mean anything or are they just Snazzy Fantasy Letters ™

*chuckles* The art director didn't give me anything to go off, really, just said to make up a fancy magic circle, so yeah, they're just Snazzy Fantasy Letters™ ;)
