[Kengrieland]

Hey Sentinel! Kengrieland already did my flag, and he (Or is it a she? Sorry) did a pretty good job. Is that alright with you?

Fine with me.

Sorry, I basically had it done by the time you said you wanted to do it. In future I'll quote the posts I intend to do.

[The Anglo Saxons]

Kengrieland, I'm impressed! You are setting new standards with the weaving flags. I gotta google how to to do that ASAP
Glad to have you here!

@Anglo Saxons: I cleaned the flag up a bit:

These are really great! I'll make good use of them. Thank you

[United Districts of 1]

I'd like a flag with a red background and a black planet with a cog like a ring around it. Please and thank you!

Here you go. I used planet Earth and left the land masses in white. I hope the planet and cog aren't too big.

Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining, but could the planet be more like Saturn?

Here you go. Is that better?

That is perfect, exactly what I wanted. Thank you kind sir and/or madam.

Also is there a tutorial for adding a grunge effect to images anywhere? I might need to do some in the future and it would help lighten the load on threads like this if I could figure out how to do it myself.

I'll give you my own tutorial. This is assuming that you use Photoshop.

• Layer > New Layer
• Select the new layer in the layer palette
• Find your grunge texture (Google: "Grunge Texture")
• Copy it and paste the image into the new layer
• Slide the "Opacity" slider down to around 25% on the layer palette, or to whichever value you think looks best
• ???
• Profit

Attempted this on a flag for my puppet.

I think it turned out okay. A+ flag making would request from again.

Great work. Looks like you pulled it off to the letter.

[Licentiapacisterra]

Could I have a white flag, with eight blue stars surrounding some kind of insignia (I'm not sure on the insignia, so be creative )

Thanks in advance

I noticed your country's national animal was the Eagle so I decided to use an eagle insignia surrounded by those stars. I hope this is OK

That's absolutely amazing, thank you

[Magna Canadensis]

Hey I was wondering if you could do a grunge effect on my flag, and maybe if it's not too much to ask could I commission a flag similar to mine only with an eagle holding the symbol that is currently in the center of my flag?

[United Districts of 1]

Could you do a store logo?

It needs to say

Elanus Risk Control Services

A clean sci-fi look would be nice.

Could you provide a bit more detail? What exactly is the "Elanus Risk Control Services"? What do they do? Do you already have some general ideas about the design?

Glowing Blue grid lines on a white metallic background with Dark green glowing letters. Sorry if thats to complex, if so you can remove the grid.

I would love to get a flag with goldish yellow sickle and hammer in the middle and 12 star of davids (like the euro flag but with stars of david) around it on a red backgournd!!

Thanks I'd be so happy!

I'll make this one when I get back from the rehearsal tonight. If I'm too drunk I'll do it tomorrow

[Raxion]

I know I already asked twice, but I asked for a flag all the way in page two, watching and waiting everyday to see if anyone has done it, but now you guys have started doing newer people's flags! My design is fairly easy, and I had to resort to making a crappy MS paint simplified version of the kind of thing I'm looking for, and I'm using that as my flag.

I apologise if I offend any of you, but surely you must understand that I have been patient for a very long time, thinking that you have all been busy with requests before me, but now you are all doing the newer (and harder) requests that aren't even in forms.

[Deadia]

• Nation Name: Deadia
• References: I put it in a spoiler because it's HUGE:
  
  
• Color Scheme: Dark Red, Very Dark Blue (Like the night)
• Specifics: I would like a diagonal split from bottom left to top right. I want the top left of the flag to be Dark Blue, as a symbol for night (or darkness). I would like the bottom right dark red as a symbol for the blood on the earth. And I would like, in the centre, the white skull and crossbones for the symbol for death. I know that you don't really care about the symbolism, but I read the web page that Nisteral linked to earlier and tried to design from that.
• Preferred Image Size: No specific size, just large and flag-shaped.
• Extras: I don't like grunge, despite my zombie theme, because I want it to be as flag-like as possible.
• TG Confirmation Upon Completion?: Yes

[East Armandia]

I'd like an grungy anarcho-capitalist hungarian flag, with soviet-esque influences. All artistic liberty is given to the creator, as long as the Red-White-Green tricolor is kept.

Hey, I searched up to see if there were any insignias for anarcho-capitalism and found a pretty cool one. Hope you like this flag.

Amazing! Thank you so very much!

[Dukopolious]

I really like this one, except for the fact that the grunge layer you used makes the flag look like it was painted onto a slab of wood. Perhaps you should find a different grunge layer?

Yeah, I see what you mean. I tried a different layer.

This is the newer one BTW.

[Kengrieland]

Hey Magna, I was able to do yours for you. I hope the grunge one is OK. I tried the design you wanted with the eagle. I found one... but unfortunately it's a little national-socialist... but I made it a little red/golden (like a phoenix ) to give it a different feel. I also inverted your logo so it was carrying the laurel from the other end, but the planet is still in the right position. I then also gave an aged effect to that as well, a little different from the first one Hope you like! ^_^

Amazing! Thank you so very much!

No problem Glad I can be of assistance.

I don't think that anyone of us feels offended.
But you must understand that we make this stuff mainly for our own fun. We can't guarantee to make all flags in a few days.
If you are lucky one of us likes your ideas and we make it. The more Flagmakers we have, the bigger your chance to get your idea done.
We don't get paid for this.

But it might happen, that your design idea just doesn't appeal to any of the Flagmakers.
Actually I'm pretty sure that Kengrieland is already working on your Flag^^
It is often the case that you guys don't give sufficient information on what you'd like the flag to look like.

Sentinel XV is trying to keep the quality up to a certain standard in this topic.

Thanks for that Sir!

[Sentinel XV]

I went ahead and did Raxion's flag. You are welcome.

Four versions, one Normal/Large, one Normal/Small, one Grunge/Large, and one Grunge/Small.

Normal/Large:

Thank you very much! These look wonderful! I greatly and humbly apologise for my impatience. I'm going to use the normal one for now, but I'm keeping the grunge one just in case I might want it in future.
@Nisteral: I understand, and again I'm sorry.
