What I found after playing with the shield designs over the weekend is that with
glossy photo paper (Canon Photo Paper Pro with a Canon S900 six-color printer)
the level of detail will hold. Lesser paper blurs, loses saturation and
vibrancy, and need reinforcing (clear packing tape works in that regard). So I
am going to do a whole bunch of shields, stick them all onto one big page, and
print them out on the quality paper.
For your picture, I think you want basket hilts rather than a bell guard - I'll
see what I can do with it.
