The crest too, if it is too difficult then without, blue background, thanks man!
Give me your steam account name too, so we can communicate easier.

Amazing, I think the far left one will be my choice! Thanks alot btw.

EDIT: Not to be annoying, but I figured out what else I want to be added, a white crest/shield with the crosses ON it, like the 5th banner, but make the rest of the shield white, and the left side blue, pretty please. And the crosses should be a bit more golden.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your work though.

I think it would look better if there was something around the edges, like a golden leave design.

Post by: sgallaty on September 12, 2011, 05:27:37 pm
suggestion man - take your cloth underlayer and remove colors and up the contrast and then lay that over the flattened cross + fabric with 'hard light' at 45 -ish transparency to get rid of that "This cross was a semiopaque decal" thing.

Title: Re: Need help with a banner.
Post by: Lizard_man on September 12, 2011, 05:38:51 pm
there's no decals on the banner, everything is made from the banners texture...

That was all some sweet ass banners Lizard! And they actually looked like, you know, BANNERS and not some silly overdone loads of details BS. GOOD JOB MAN :D

Wow. You're really talented man... Those are awesome!!
Title: Re: Need help with a banner.
Post by: sgallaty on September 12, 2011, 07:15:11 pm
I'm saying that applying the color overlays as 'color' and keeping the texture luminosity gives it a really strong 'fabric' feel.  just a suggestion.

good work anyhow
