Countryballs Request Thread

Postby Scytharum » Fri Apr 07, 2023 3:57 pm

In all my searching, I haven't found an exact countryballs request thread. The closest I've ever seen is this thread: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=533047. As such, here is the forum thread to request your very own countryball! Whether it's shaped normally, or if it's a Nepal, Mamluk, or Ohio, or something entirely unique, it can be done! As well, if you wish to make countryballs on this thread, no application is necessary, just go for it like on the Flag Makers/Requests Thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=442202

Format for countryball requests:

+ Description of the shape of the ball, or link to the shape. If you do not mention and/or link a specific shape, I will assume you are requesting a standard countryball (i.e., a sphere). Please specify all of your requested countryballs' shapes, if you are requesting multiple.
+ A link to the flag you want it to be made with. If you do not link anything here, I will assume you are requesting it to be made with your NS flag. As well, if you are requesting two or three countryballs, please link all of the flags you're requesting.
+ Number of countryballs you wish to request, this can be up to three at a time. As well, if you are requesting two or three at a time, please specify whether you want them separate or if you want them all in one picture.
+ Finally, any special features. These can be things like sunglasses, laser eyes, glasses, hats, etc., but keep in mind that this is optional and if you do wish for a special feature, it may take longer to fulfill your request.


All pictures will be made with a transparent background, here's an example of a request and reply:

Scytharum wrote:The shape(s) I'm requesting: A sphere for Scytharum and a rectangle for the German Empire
The flag(s) I'm requesting to be done: https://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/scytharum__805535.png and https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... 29.svg.png
The number of countryballs I'm requesting: 2, and I would like them separately.
Special Features: Scytharum has sunglasses, and the German Empire has laser eyes.

Once the strongest and largest military on Earth (1540-1957)
Baile Atha Cliath Times:French ships were nearly fired upon after sailing too close to Ceilteach shores. French demand a apology but Ceilteach officials refuse and General Ó Súilleabháin responded with "We warned them that if they got too close we'll open fire and they didn't listen." The French have made no comment.

In 1463, the Kingdom of Ireland and Kingdom of Scotland united under one banner to form the Aontas Ceilteach (Celtic Union). Started in 1473 Éire Agus Albion stated to seize land from England, kicking out English residents and moving in Celts. Today England only has 4 million people left in Essex and East Anglia.

Socialist Britain, Set in the 2020's with slightly futuristic/modern technology, deadset on spreading the socialist agenda. I also consider NS stats canon, mainly the ones used on NSeconomy, saying that here they are Here
I occasionally draw countryballs, and whatever else catches my interest, I do commissions as well. Just a reminder, appreciate artists time and effort that they put into art, most of us are doing this as a hobby. So if somebody doesn't want to make you art, a no is a no. I live life through spite and spite only

Assert dominance over your fellow comrades by taking away their hammer and sickles.

I'd like to point out, I think the Polandball thread counts as a request thread, however it is kind of dead, but I've still seen and even myself had a request on their, and it was accepted.

Just pointing this out, that's all.
