Title: Simple mythos sign?
Post by: gruulgor on 12 November 2014, 03:27:27 PM

Hi, this is Ivan, from Spain;

A friend of mine has agreed in painting me 12 cultists for some games (pulp alley, strange aeons, IHMN, etc), because he knows I must be one the worst painters in the world  :'(

We hace decided to keep a ver simple scheme and he's willing to try a freehand of a mythos sign in the cultist's robes, but it must be simple and easy to paint.

My first idea was the yellow sign, but I'm afraid it doesn't count as easy, so I was wondering if someone could suggest me another (easy) mythos sign :)

Thanks for all

Lovecraft's own take on the Elder Sign is pretty straightforward.  I could see cultists sporting that on their robes as some sort of protection against summoned horrors.

You could simplify this symbol to the basic triangle and squiggles.
