The Mercenaries are looking for a talented artist

Hello!

During our history, we had a set of different heraldry used for our ingame banner. It all followed the same idea, having sacral meaning behind elements of the image.

To be short: We are looking for an artist who will make us a new iteration of our banner for cRPG payment. So far we suggest 6 loompoints and a certain amount of gold. We may discuss and/or reconsider higher payment amount.

Our current banner is:

which is basically a simplified version of this
(click to show/hide)

It is one of the oldest banner versions (originally used in 2011 and better version of this later up to 2013), back in the time when the resolution of the banner was lower (early implementation of custom banners), because the lost the one with better quality.

This one is more modern version that we used in late 2013 and 2014 (or other variations of it). Basically we want a simplified drawn version of this banner to fit the flag.

Meanings of image elements:
3 swords mean that we treat our history and refer to three original founders of Mercs: Oberyn, Olwen and Gnjus
Metal skull is a reference to "Mercenaries never die, they just go to hell to regroup"
Wings (metal or golden) refer to Angels of Death
Crown of thorns refers to switching golden crown (victory of Strat 1) to crown of thorns in Strat 2 when Mercs got crucified after a long epic war against overwhelming enemies from all sides and betrayal from our "allies"
Circle with spikes on the back refers to Cardinal Directions, "any time, any place"
Blood and Gold basically means blood for gold ;-)
Also had scales on some versions which also means the same

Colors: black, grey, golden, red.

I doubt that anyone will work that much for crpg dollery-doos nowadays

why not go to deviantart, look for a dude who does some heraldry stuff and commission him for 30,40 bucks or something, for a longliving clan as mercs it'd be worth it I'd say

It's not about money and not that we really need a new banner when EU pop is that small. Maybe someone is really up to drawing and our in-game payment motivates him/her.

No offence but Merc banner doesn't look in any way medieval or historically correct. It looks more like a badge that some ss soldier would wear in ww2. If someone makes a new banner then please try and make it a bit more realistic!

Yes, Mercs are not historically correct. Unlike Krems.

our chicken banner is the most real thing cRPG has ever received
Maybe if Coronoa virus gets rid of 50 percent or more of the world population we can do without a pope and religion.
