Looking For Some Help Creating An Emblem.

[Aumaan]

I'm in need of assistance from someone willing to help create an emblem for my clan, Children of Chaos.

 

I'm basically wanting this (So sorry for the horrible quality, photo and drawing wise):

 

 

But with the Lotus symbol having the style of Humanity from Dark Souls:

 

 

Black inside, smokey white outline/outside.

 

 

You'll notice The Lotus in the drawing is different from the basic form because the extra branches off of the main symbol don't curve back in but out.

I was wanting them to look like a spider legs instead of curling back into the symbol and creating those little swirls on the bottom. There are also two extra branches on each side, 8 legs and all that.

 

 

I was wanting the arms to be those of Ember Prime, palms up as if presenting the symbol.  Possibly move the hands farther apart so it looks like it's holding the legs. Also, since the drawing probably isn't that clear, this is just the forearms and hands.


Also, if it does't make the emblem too busy, adding the name Children of Chaos to it, Children at the top middle of the emblem, "of" right below the hands in the middle and Chaos at the bottom middle.  Also if possible, give the letters a lava-like orange, red and yellow dapple and slight glow (just so it has some color, not too bright).

 

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I have no real artistic skill and my skill with image editing software is beyond pathetic (there's also the fact that the only one I have currently is MSPaint so...yeah.) If you have any idea on how to make this better, feel free to say so.

 

 

EDIT: Probably should have put this in from the start.  

 

This is a clan dedicated to The Fair Lady from Dark Souls who is all about humanity, spiders and lava. That's why I was wanting the wording in a lava like dapple.  If there is a better way of getting lava in please say so.  I was hoping to get a bit more color in the emblem other than black, white and the brownish orange of Ember Prime's arms.

 

Scratch that, going to do more work on the concept, going to tone it down a bit.

A "noob" friendly image editing is paint.NET. It is quick, easy and completely free.

are you willing to pay plat? or give a good clan member position for it :P
here's my quick one (I can smooth it out/edit parts)

you can have clan name under the emblem but it wont be visible as you might imagine it and if you're going to use the emblem on dojo flags it might be inverted... writings on clan emblems dont look good

Platinum I can do depending on how much you want..

That image looks rather nice, needs to be smoothed out a bit though and the outline should be much larger and smoke/ghostlike.

 

 

As for the writing, I kind of figured it wouldn't work out that well but I wanted to get a bit more color into the emblem other than black, white and the brownish orange from Ember Prime's arms.  This is a clan dedicated to The Fair Lady from Dark Souls who is all about humanity, spiders and lava so I was hoping to get lava in there somehow.

 

Like the Edit to the main post says, forget it, going to do some more work on the concept itself.

Sorry for not responding, been away from the computer.  I appreciate the effort you've put into these and they do look nice (that last one doesn't really look bad at all honestly), but I've got a lot of reworking to do before I figure out just what I want for the emblem.  I kinda jumped into this after getting some basic ideas because I've been wanting an emblem but after some feedback I realized things needed a lot of work and toning down.
