I'll make one asap.

There's one for the flag template though.

First attempt - large shield for Nevers

What do you think?

Is there a way to drag in a straight line in marquee mode?

 

[Birger]

Looks great!

Just hold down shift, http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/bllps507ex2.htm

Btw, I did a "nevers" shield for you, named shield_nassau in the extra folder.

 

[Therion]

Isn't Nassau a different state?

Their shields are similar but slightly different: Nassau and Nevers

So do you need help with anything?

 

[Birger]

Well, the arms are the same.

Flags for the extra folder and then AGCEEP I guess.

 

[Therion]

Ok. What do you do when you cannot find any flags?

 

[Birger]

I try to find any emblem, banner, flag, symbol that I can use.

 

[Therion]

Flags are much more harder than shields to get right.

With some flags, the edges are not filled completely while others do not fit. Any tips to deal with that?

Good work, Therion.

Make another layer behind the "flag" filled with the same background color.

 

[Therion]

Ok, I think I got the hang of it.

For this flag of Nevers, I enlarged the red bordure because it wouldn't fit.

Re-uploading the shield templates upon request (the original lack the Mongol template).
