there are no images there... upload them to an app like Photobucket and then copy the [img]...[/img] tag code and paste it here to have the images show on the forum.

In what way is the warping/skewing not working?
It doesn't look good? Or it's just not working fullstop?

Tried Distort?

[dflynn]

Try Perspective or Distort. Skewing makes objects into parallelograms, and warp will give you various shapes but requires a lot of accuracy.

Perspective will give you perfect perspective but I find it hard to keep a baseline and just have a receding topline so I'd go with Distort.
Just drag the top right down to angle it a bit.

I think you should then try to add in a little bit or a highlight or shadow drawn behind the compass that gives it a false 3-d Effect because you'll want it to look like it's not a 2-d object being distorted.

Goodluck
