Requests for custom banners, surcoats and shields

[srbraveandstupid]

hey some of us dont have a clue about how to use photoshop, remember that

Well, there is a certain point where one may have to pick up some elementary skills and perform basic tasks. They can't do anything, and I'd rather learn something simple than not have it at all.

(I don't know how to use Photoshop either )

I will try to do some of this stuff tonight...

Could someone please make a high-quality tear shield with this coat-of-arms? Also a banner, and a surcoat?

I would really appreciate that.

Thanks,
          Vuk

The entire reason I learned how to use Photoshop/Paintshop Pro was to do stuff like this.

I started with MS paint and worked my way up.  This thread contains everything you need to know to get started on doing this stuff for yourselves.  There's no way that Tangent can do every request that comes his way.

Wouldn't it be better if you'd learn to do this and then you can forever create whatever you want that comes into your imagination then have Tangent do it once for you?

Me neither. Luckily you don't need it. MS paint is enough.

Just take a blank template, then open your emblem in a second file. Cut, copy (Ctrl+C), insert (Ctrl+V) into template file, maybe resize (Ctrl+K) it, then adjust the border pixels a bit so you've got a smooth transition. Takes about ten minutes to do a decent banner, for example. Anybody should be able to do that. At least give it a try.

That said, I'm all for more blank templates for us to toy around with so that everybody can get his nice shield.

I am a graphics designer (for profit). The reason I asked someone else to do it, is because I tried and couldn't get it looking correct. I design logos for companies, not old, beaten shields and banners.
I also don't have Photoshop. I use Jasc PSP 7 instead (and it is not as powerfull)

That's exactly what I use.

It's powerful enough to do these banners, for sure.

This is one of those "You lead a horse to water..." situations.

Jäger, yours is even better, I like how the actual cross is sort of washed off and scratched. Can you now replace the light grey background with a "dirty" white one? Like this: http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/3133591/2/istockphoto_3133591_dirty_white_grunge_background.jpg
Could you then insert the shield in the appropriate file and upload it here? Thanks a lot, man.

Yes, but as I said earlier, I tried and could not do it justice.

 

[wildhorse]

how about making surcoats matching  the banners?

a surcoat using the symbol and colours from the banner posted above would be really gorgeous, ....anyway, there are many banners and possibilities to mix for

Like it?

(I don't.  )

yep, i like it,...i think it looks cool indeed,.....good work! ...could you post the dds file plz?
thx in advance

 

[Tulon]

Made entirely with MS Paint. So no excuses here, people.

 

[Llew2]

Use Paint.net. It's wicked easy and has some cool effects. And it's free.

There you go.

Isn't there also heraldic rules against having more than two colours, or something?

No.

Depends. As long as you don't have metal bordering metal (gold/silver) and color bordering color (red/blue) it's fine.

By the way - we might "expand" this thread into shield requests, too.

Man, I hate to piss in everyone's cornflakes here but the "rule of tincture" is basically no metal
on metal (yellow = gold, white = silver) and no color on color (blue, red, purple, black, green)

This rule is so closely followed that arms that violate it are called armes fausses (false arms) or
armes à enquérir (arms of enquiry); any violation is presumed to be intentional, to the point that
one is supposed to inquire how it came to pass.

There are ways around it but from what I've seen thus far, quite a few would be considered false arms.

This link will help with the basics. A lot of great designs and ideas though!
