Here is mine It can be free standing, but I originally was designing to fit between buildings, creating a not quite 90 degree corner But the different structures can wrap around a building's corner, or line up against another wall, or can stand alone. Now that I think about it, I think it would look good with the two buildings facing each other. I was wanting to have options

This shot gave me another idea for some buildings EDIT -- I really need the hanging signs and a chimney that isn't as tall

I know it is too big at this point, and I probably need to enhance the lettering on the 'notice' portion so that at least the largest letters can be seen when reduced, but here is where I am at on the lower sign I am probably doing too much detail for something that will hardly be seen at reduced scale. And on something that is fictitious. That decorative thing from the illustration was not shown as part of the sign, but it is so unusual, I think the illustrator must have seen something similar somewhere, and that somewhere was probably a sign.

With that pretty much knocked out, I started working on the head and the brackets. The iron brackets I had already planned to thicken, but when I got started on them I finally noticed the top bracket, the one that the head hangs from. It only has one connection point. The bracketry slides into an iron loop. That is going to require a slight modification or it will be too delicate. I plan on widening the front of the head and putting a curve into it to make it appear more 3d. The bracket will be a fold-over and include the suspending rod and a side view of the head that extends almost to the face. The rounded face part will glue onto this. I keep debating with myself on the lower bracket. Do I make the viper sign part of the bracket? Or do I keep the sign separate? Hmmm

As soon as I saw the picture of the head I immediately thought of kris and the Crooked Staff skulls. Or just re-colour the head from my flying Sherlock.
