So.. I am in need of help again.
This time for something completely different to everything else.

My brother's birthday is in August and I wanna design him a card (Moonpig ftw =)).
I've had an idea (sort of) using his first and last name. His first name means "Meadow", and his/our surname is "Millward", which obviously is "Mill" and "ward".

Now, I want to put a Mill (a windmill I guess?) on/in (not sure if you say in or on) a meadow and also have something for "Ward", but what can I put for that to suit the picture?


The only thing I can think of is a ward in the sense, hospital ward, so have a bed with a drip or something lol.. but that's kind of odd with the other two pictures/designs..

Any and all ideas much appreciated.

You could have a person sticking their head out between prison bars at the front door of a windmill.

I don't see how that would be anything such as "ward" though.. But I do like that idea.

There's also the verb form. "Ward off evil spirits." can't really think of any ideas for that though.

How about this:

Have the windmill on the meadow, then below the "blades?" have a big opening (kind of like massive doors - possibly a big window) and have a few beds (2 each side?) and for the two beds visible have one be a bed that has a bit for a broken foot/leg, then the other have a drip or something.. the two in the background would be normal. Then, because I suck at human 3D models, just use a figure that is the base, and whack blankets over them...

Or no? Or perhaps help adapt this idea slightly, but nothing TOO extreme cos I am no pro at models.

oh oh or idea 2. Someone said the below on my dA:

How about something moving for"ward"
As we age, we move forward in time


My response:

Actually, I like this idea..
And since it's a mill (so it has blades/fans) that can be what's pushing it. Only problem is that I want the blades/fans on the front so we can see them, but obviously if they are like that, having it coming/pushing forward towards the "screen" would be difficult to express.

Any idea how to go about "fixing" this? I honestly can't think.






I actually like both ideas. I really do. I actually like the idea/concept for the second better.

Ok guys.. How about..


How about I approach it a bit differently...

Be in a Hospital Ward, and either be looking from the center having say, 2 or 3 beds on each side, or perhaps instead of that, be looking from one side with 2 or 3 beds on that one side I am looking at..
Now, because you can get all types of mills (shape wise I mean), I have a different shaped one in each bed. Each one would have a part missing from it making it ill. Meaning it's actually a "Mill Ward", a ward for ill mills...

If I am looking at it from the center, have a slightly large window at the very back looking out at a meadow...
However, if I am just looking at one side, I was thinking have a picture of a meadow behind the beds on the wall..

Is this idea good, bad, better than the others, worse or...?
Suggestions for it would be cool too.)
