How did you get your flag?

Postby Erdunyardia » Sun Nov 13, 2011 5:09 am

So it's simple how did you get your flag. If you made it yourself please add some extra info about it (like how long did you do this or with what program).

I did mine myself using paint. I did it with very little time only choosing colours took time.

It's the flag of Luxembourg flipped vertically and with the white in the middle replaced with green. Also, yeah, done in Paint.

It's an outline scorpion on a tricolor. The question is less "where'd you get it" or "how'd you make it" and more "wow, you really are a lazy fucker, aren't you?" ;)

edit: did the shadow effect in Photoshop, though. We can assume that wouldn't be in the physical flag however.

The old Chinese flag with the red part recoloured green and a red triangle put on top with a wavy flag texture with a layer style of overlay on top.
Done on Photoshop.

It's the logo of the Kirin Tor from World of Warcraft. I found it in Google Image Search and appropriated it wholesale because it's pretty.

I'm one of Southern Babylonia's alternate nations, Hippostania wanted to make me a new flag. I liked the design but it didn't exactly fit what I was wanting for my nation. I wanted to be nice to him for a change, so I took it and used it for this country! :D

I made a request to Bloodyvikings (probably didn't spell that right), and they drew a flag for me.

I drew a cat.
This was formerly a signature. One day, it may return to its splendid past. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of my cats.

Hmm...its black&white but it can't be pre-1970 as a paramilitary unit has an M16.....she's white though she couldn't possibly be Irish as her hair isn't ginger.. so that narrows it down to the former Yugoslavia. :3

I found mine on an alternate history site, it's the flag of the Anglo-German union I believe.

I chose it because it has the coat of arms of the two royal families and my NS is basically a union of Germanic people
