Rosencros

Kind of an experimental piece. It didn't turn out as well as I wanted it too, but I'm still fairly happy with it.

Recently I've been studying symbology as it relates to linguistics. This is the Rosencreus or Rose Croix, which at its most fundamental level represents secrets. The crest is actually the origin of the vampire lore concerning crosses, as it is said that the walking dead cannot cross the path of the rose. Only with the advent of Eastern Orthodox Christianity did the unholy Upyrr become afraid the Christian, long-stemmed cross.

The Rosencross also is a symbol for virtue and hidden knowlege.
