Bumping this. I’ll be selecting a prototype Monday night 9/25/17 around 6pm central. Get your submissions in before then, or this is an EASY contract for @Smidge to grab up!
I’M CALLING YOU OUT, CHISEL KNIGHTS! HAVE YOU NO HONOR?!

I would post but I still can’t use my laptop, and chiseling on my phone would be a nightmare

I’ve decided to try this out and see what i could test myself upon using the new chisels, and it came out pretty decent, i tried to use the square chisel as much as i could, but i started using more of the bevel chisel and found some neat shapes that connected together fairly well.
Gothic hasn’t been one of my most used themes, but i tried my best to match it up with whatever references i found.

What chisel did you use to make that grid shape in the middle? I really love the pattern! 
I can’t make titanium chisels yet, and titanium hammers would come first. 
Love it. for windows I really believe it matters what’s behind the window. In this case for the effect to truly come together I’d put a wall behind it half a distance away with some dark metamorphic or something to see the gleam and pattern really work that lighting.
I used the bevel chisel to make the patterns, remove an entire slab from a block then knock out two more on opposite corners.
Overtime, after creating rough, I experimented over and over and found something that actually worked

I bet that would help bring out the lighting indeed, but I don’t know if @Havok40k wants anything obstructed.
I will add a wall later when I am online, and give more screenshots, thanks for the suggestion 
Omg that is TRUELY fascinating! These new chisels are a true game changer!

Haha @Combyte, by coincidence I stumbled on the same grid pattern last night. BEVEL CHISEL 4 LYFE! Here are some other notes:
- it’s flat from the other side. So you can reverse it (chisel away from the back surface) if you want a totally flat version.
- you can make disjoint pieces from a single block this way (use bevel chisel, leave only opposite body-diagonal corners)
- if you combine those disjoint blocks you can get some interesting designs, PLUS bigger openings that still block creatures
Some screenshots, just as examples:

Awesome, haha i guess i’m not the only one then !
Yeah, i was thinking the same thing after i sent the images, about the flat side. Either i’m gonna make another layer behind it like you’ve said, or I’ll just put some slabs behind it as mentioned by @endymion.
Either way, i’m sure it’ll work out! Thanks for the ideas !

We can finally make smaller floating diamond shapes. It’s been quite popular theme before but we could only make big ones so it always needed bigger structure around to look good.
