Any artist fancy designing a flag/banner for me?

I need a logo/coat of arms whatever for Thaskbury House in my FM. I could do this myself but it only adds to the delay before the FM is released so I wonder if there are any artists out there might enjoy doing it.

 

It might be a simple letter T surrounded by a circular motif or something I dunno, perhaps like the Bafford banner. Or maybe it has Thaskbury in full. It could be a full coat of arms. It wants to fit in a square tile and should be a layer in a Photoshop or Paintshop Pro image file. Probably 2048 x 2048 is good so it can be reduced/cropped to 1024 x 1024 ultimately for in-game.

 

If anyone interested then I'd suggest post a few rough ideas here before proceeding.

 

Even if you can't do this then ideas, suggestions welcome for a design.

It's a fairly blank canvas. Lord Thaskbury is head of the house which is a big tudor style house on the edge of Thaskbury, a small village and Thaskbury moor. He has some connections with royalty from another country but this is just friendship; he has no blood connections with royalty.

 

I've no other story character developed for him (other than that he is a villain of course ;)) so almost any generic coat of arms type of stuff might do. But it does want either the letter T or Thaskbury on their somewhere to make it distinctive.

 

@masterthief: Yes, any rough pattern ideas might be worth looking at if you can scan them in.

 

Consider also making the letter(ing) in a separate layer. If two or more good designs come forth then they need not be wasted as the letter can be changed.

 

BTW I should clarify it should be on a no-art background. If you have no access to layers and totally transparent surround then a pure colour that is not used on the design edge can be used instead, eg, bright pink, like a blue screen, so I can extract just the design with no background.

 

Note that in-game it will be displayed on a standard banner colour; the flag I am not decided yet but most likely a light colour not dark so it is more visible in the night sky.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
