Drakes flag

Post by JAP »

Is something like this a god idea for a drake flag?

I like the idea. The flag could be hanging from the "head" on the tip of the pole too, though, and be very slightly wider or a bit shorter. The flapping might look better that way.

Attached flag to the head, made the flag a little bit shorter and changed the head a bit.
Better right?

A bit better, yes. I think it could be pretty much fine like this as well, but also that it still could be a bit shorter and wider, and raise the part under the head's neck a little, so that there wouldn't be a hole like that between the head and the flag. It would look a bit more like a banner that way. I'm not sure if you like the flag idea better, but personally I think that a banner might fit the drakes a little better.

Very nice edit eternal :) , but it made it a little big ( i have noticed that flags have to fit in the hex).
So i shortened and moved the flagpole to fit the hex exactly, and tried it in game.
Looks nice i think.
Feel free to animate it if you want to, otherwise i will probably do that tomorrow or on sunday.
Have a nice weekend all.

After a lot of experimenting with various banners and flags i found that something like this is what looks best in game.
So what do you think?

My personal favourite design was this one (though the new dragonhead looks better, IMO):

I agree with Irrevenant, my vote's for that rectangular flag with the new dragon head. The new two-triangles flag looks... odd. Unflaglike, I guess. :hmm:

Something like this then?

Edit: i can see that it needs a redone animation (looks to speeded now) but as a concept for a drakeflag,
is it a god idea?

I think it might need some other adjustment than just speed. It looks like it kind of wobbles or something. The wind affects it the same way as it would if it was a banner, but since it's a flag then I guess it shouldn't wave so much from up to down.

Definitely better. The top of the flag-part still looks somehow funny, but I don't think it's really a problem. As a whole I think this is pretty good.
