WOO! Thank you so much! Now I have to build a castle worthy of that drawbridge. Good thing I ordered some old grey brick and plate packs.
Thanks for the worthy competition:

both the runners-up were beautiful and functional, and did a great job of demonstrating the principles.
The design I used was my own combination of line drawing and text ideas from
The Medieval Fortress, by Kaufmann and Jurga (Da Capo Press), which I highly recommend.
Out of curiosity: will the posts I make as "Master Gatekeeper" retain that title at the end of thirty days, or will all my posts change back to "Villien"? I would understand if the picture wasn't kept past thirty days. If not, I'll just have to be happy with my new signature.
