Today's client had an engineer's eye for detail and a fondness for ravens, so we combined two designs he liked into this custom one.

Today's client had this complex protection symbol designed by someone with magical insights, and then he sought me out to install it. A combination of runes, alchemical and astrological symbols, it was a challenge requiring precision and focus.
