There is this video game called ‘Chaos Gate’ based on Warhammer … ok it doesn’t matter. However I noticed a floor tiling that was an Islamic design, and I’ve become maybe a little obsessed with replicating it. Naively I thought it would be easy!
From these sketches, you can see that I’m trying to find the underlying grid. I’m leaning towards some 70 (72?) degree offset grid, or a 3:1 ratio of two squares. Here are some more sketches:
So getting there, but not quite there.
So I made two different attempts, one more successful than the other!
The ‘warped’ one on the left was my first attempt, and was so badly off that I started to have fun with just drawing crazy lines between the parts. The one on the right was much better, but still off - so I added the little squares to get the design complete. Actually turned out quite nice … but still not right!
