Ambigram project

[ace]

for those that don't know, an ambigram is a design that looks the exact same when viewed upside down as when viewed regularly. More info can be found on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambigram

The iconic modern day example of course comes from Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.



I want to get an ambigram tattoo of my name. Currently the best available one online is on this site: http://www.wowtattoos.com/index-8kl.html (search for Keith). Unfortunately it's $9.99! I was wondering if anyone would either be able to make a good looking duplicate of that one, or even come up with a better one?

Any help is greatly appreciated, and I'll be sure to mention your name when I tell the story behind the tattoo.

If you opt to make one yourself, I really like 'sharp' designs (like this), but anyone who makes one themselves is a true artists.

If I get bored, I might take a stab at it. Now that I have an example from that site, I think I could make up one with the sharp edges that you like. I see a few ideas that I can play off of.

Heh, I forgot all about this topic. I hope you still needed one, because I just made one up real quick. There are some rough edges, I know, but I thought I would at least show it to you to see if you like it and what you need changed with it.



Once we perfect it, I'll send you a much higher resolution file. That is, if you still need it.

That's pretty damn awesome Mel.
It boggles my mind how people can come up with these things.

Actually, now that I have stepped away for a few hours and look at it again, that looks pretty crappy. It's way too fat, the K/H looks weird, and the split with the T/E looks funny too. The I looks pretty awesome, though. Anyway, let me try again, cause I can do better than that.

that's awesome, but if you want to make another too, that's even better!

I know you said you prefer sharp, but... I don't
This is the first vectorial drawing I ever made. Actually not quite, but it's the first time I use a vector oriented program (BTW Inkspace is really good), so taking that into consideration I think it came out pretty well
