Mage Maverick collage
This one is based upon a few concepts, some from folklore, some from fiction (like the Dresden Files), and some from the role playing game Mage: the Ascension. I did it in a bronze finish over all because some folk lore states that iron is a bane to all forms of magical folk. I added a bit of a metallic blue and purple sheen in order to make it appear to have some enchantment upon it. I added symbols from Alchemy to make it look enspelled (and also as an homage to Mage: the Ascension which uses those symbols as well). I did the symbols in metallic purple with hints of metallic blue because I didn't want them to stand out unless the light was hitting them the right way and also made them purposely a bit smudgy so that they almost appear to be floating above the surface of the metal rather than as part of it (especially when the light is right!)
