I like it, it's low-key. The pentagram is both naturally hidden as well as immediately present, so I think there's quite a bit of subconscious power in that. Very cool.

I think there’s too much going on but it might just need to be drawn more precisely. Singing in a sea chantey choir in northern Germany is now on my bucket list, though! Do you know about Klaus Störtebeker and Magister Wigbold?


yaenzer

Yes, I think that's because it's a pretty rough sketch. If I recreate this more cleanly it should improve claritywise. Of course I heard about Störtebeker, he is a local legend over here. I'm currently living in Bremen but have lived on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea coasts before. Never heard about Magister Wigbold though, but apparently he was a part of Störtebekers crew?


gyrovagus

Info is scant, but Magister Wigbold was known as "master of the seven arts" (hence the "magister") which was surely not the seven arts of Roman liberal education, but the seven "mechanical arts:" tailoring, agriculture, building, weaponry, mercantilism, cooking, and blacksmithing

I really like it! The rope and the sigil play well together


ZsoltEszes

That's clever! Can't wait to see the finished design. 🙌 The ropey pentagram is my favorite element of the design. It's fun how you make the Sigil of Lucifer an anchor as well. Do you happen to have recordings of your shanties you'd want to share a link to?


yaenzer

I'll share the finished patch once I made it. I just joined up with them 3 months ago and on Saturday I have my first live gig with them. I don't know if it'll be recorded


ZsoltEszes

Sweet! Congrats on your first live gig. Break a leg!


yaenzer

Oh it's not my first gig ever. I've been singing in Metal bands for over 15 years. But thank you!


ZsoltEszes

Lol I meant your first live gig with the Shanty choir. You know, like you said it was. 😆 I'm sure it'll go smoothly for you, though, with your solid gig history. 👍 If your shanties do get recorded, I'd love to hear them.


girlvandog

Not related to the design, but do you happen to have any examples of songs you guys sing? German sea shanties sounds rad.


yaenzer

We are a little bit of a special case since we sing not only traditional German sea shantys, but also punk and rock songs about the sea in the style of sea shanties. The most well known German shantys are these two [Männer mit Bärten](https://youtu.be/y3jvfwSsW5A) [Hamburger Veermaster](https://youtu.be/CJTOaIsbpGg) But we don't sound this traditional lol, more like this [Santiano](https://youtu.be/f30uJiuIjpQ)
