Shyone Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have been thinking about the button that was suggested for Ex-Christian.net and I designed something that I thought might have symbolic meaning for many. The Handcuffs with the Gold Cross represent the bondage of Christianity, and the crossed keys represent the ability to open the handcuffs and gain freedom from the bondage. Too S&M? I tried a number of backgrounds, but found white to be the best visually for this imagery. Shadowing and buttonizing is optional. I could give a different background to the cuffs to set them apart (that might not be such a bad idea). Thoughts? Suggestions? Should I forget this project?

Deva Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think its a good idea, the only suggestion I have is to make the handcuffs look more like handcuffs - dark background perhaps and the cuffs in light silver or even white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted August 30, 2009 Super Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2009 FWIW, how about losing the cuffs and making an open leg iron (like the letter E) followed by crossed keys and the rest. A few links of chain could trail off to the left of the iron, or just hang down. Just another idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deva Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Shyone, Yes, that does look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RankStranger Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I can't see the cross very well- have to look real close. I like the leg-irons idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leg irons are not photogenic, but how about the thing below? click on the thumbnail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted August 30, 2009 Super Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2009 I like that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyone Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 I like that one! Thanks. It needs centering, and if it is to be useful I would need to know what size to make it. Any idea who I could suggest it to before I make any more modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
