The African Cape wrote:Hello, we discussed the possibility of a map over TG?

Here is a description of what I'd like.

Its terrain varies greatly, with savvanah in the South, thick Rainforest in the North and centre, and desert in the West. It is landlocked on all sides, except in the South, where it has a short stretch of rocky coast, giving it access to the sea. It is bisected into East and West by the Limpopo River, which runs from the Tukanga River in the North down to the sea in the south. (The Limpopo river flows west to east and forms the northern boundry of the nation.)

There are two major urban centres in the Colony, the Capital, Ladysmith, located centrally, and the port city of Charlesfort, on the southern coast.

I really don't need to much detail, perhaps different colours for different terrain and the names of some stuff, but if thats too much it's not necessary.

Thanks.


Okay. I'll work on it when I have time. Maps aren't my strong point but we'll see.

It's currently number 3 on my priority list after Zarosia's and a Hi-Def TBH flag


That would be excellent, thank you.

Hey, that actually seems like a neat idea. Send me a TG when it's done, if you could.

Not to be a naysayer or Mr. Negativity, but some of these people wanting to be flag-makers.. their skills are.. lacking?

How thick do you need the lines.

I would completely agree that Gardai's skills are a bit... lacking

But to be fair, a lot of people that request flags don't need the most intense thing out there. We'll see how he does

As for Soviet, I've seen some of his other work and he's fine

Mall...
I'm starting to doubt my skills. That thing is a mess of pixels.

Do you know by chance who created the original flag? Because at this rate I'm considering trying to remake the TBH flag

As for Gardai, I would assume it's the program he's using. I would suggest a switch to the (free) Paint.NET program.

Meh, I take a bit too much pride in my work, so everything I do has to be high-quality. It takes me a bit longer than it would take you guys to get a flag done, but I guess sometimes that's just the price you have to pay, no?

There is no unpixelated version in existence. COE posted a request in the other flag request thread asking for it to be fixed, but I don't know if he followed up on it.

Are you talking about that flag with the raven or black bird of some type over the sword and earth? Yeah. I personally tried to enlarge that without pixelization, used a plethora of techniques in photoshop. Nothing. The image is useless for enlargement, as the quality is already too poor to retain any semblance of clarity if it were to be enlarged.

Rawr and Mall.

As Sentinel said. The flag is mangled into pixelation beyond fixation.

I'm trying to recreate the flag using google images and photoshop. I'll keep you posted.

@Mall. You can have GC

He's not trying to make a new one per say, he's attempting to salvage the individual components of the old one in higher definition, and then recombine them into the flag.

Essentially yes. Since the earth was taken from Google Earth and I have that, I have the sword. I'm trying to find the eagle now
