I ask for help from the knowledgeable Chinese

Yes, of course , this is print, and on the stone will need to mirror your image . Seal on a rock was cut out, you can buy a piece on ebay , that's like a

even though there are a lot of all sorts, and you can certainly find in England , that Chinese do not wait forever .
And, of course, if you cut the image itself - the red seal with white pattern, called白文 báiwén. If we remove the emptiness, and a convex pattern - then get white print with red pattern , 朱 文 zhūwén.

, in other words, the positive and the negative: ( Cameo and intalo )

Such a scholar would like to ask ( if you will )
In the last characters ( VA) is a prototype of what the image is subject to the sloping verticals ( all, including fonts) .. Probably. This " tendency " is very important ? I wonder what that is?

PS. So I 'd like them " otvertikalit " but rented , it will distort the meaning and may even make it " unreadable " .. (or other characters) - I do not know Chinese ..

I'm sure you have any thoughts on this subject >

Yeah , that's right , a vertical line can not be tilted . Every detail is important in the hieroglyphics , and an extra point or can completely change the meaning.
That is certainly an artist can be everything, but if the task is to preserve the meaning and the sound - it is better to sample at random not to retreat.
These hieroglyphs on seals and so portrayed in archaic forms, markedly different from today, so that the average Chinese peasant read them probably will not. And if they distort the shape , you will not be able to read any one .
And this character - " tile" , its origins can be found here (there is a database of images from ancient Chinese sources):

Nothing vertical it never was.

I just did not invent anything , and offer the classic version, honed over centuries. I saw dozens of thousands of seals . And this layout is really hard to improve.
Although the twentieth century , much has changed . Here, for example a link to print the Qi Baishi, he said to them in a much more innovative approach.

But such an approach must characters feel. Their form, their structure. Cutting seals in the East - it is quite independent art , the same self as calligraphy or painting. For a beginner , I think it is better to start with the classics, it is at least not cause aesthetic protest.

I have half a notebook today plagued by a sample -and it's not that (though classic) and simple little problem ... ( apparently ..) It's not that .. it's not that ..
While nothing to boast ...
