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.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
