Contests/Dwilight Realm Banners/Good Submissions

This page is for the submissions that are good enough to be considered. Many still need to be improved, though. If your submission isn't on this list, you can still try to work on it while the contest is open, but it has to be improved considerably.

Do not edit this page. I will revert any and all edits. For some reason, protecting it doesn't work

Submissions that are good as they are

Got more to come but this is my first, made by my self. All appropriate sources listed below the banner. This banner would suit all the realms (did this on purpose for vaguivity so it can go any where). It's a stone banner with a church like persona so it could fix it's self with a Monarchy (Castle/throne like), as well as a Religious banner (Church-like).

Description: S is for Springdale. The colours say that Springdale is a light in the middle of Darkness. Golden colour represents the light, Blue represents the sea. (Also the black looks like brown,,Will take care of it if Tom picks mine.) Oh I made it by myself..no thing there is copied. --M2rt 22:09, 19 August 2007 (CEST)

Original material, no suplementals used, scratch.

Pian, Was going for an earthy feel with muted orange as a contrast. the balls symbolizing the fruits of the nations efforts, the upper pattern symbolizing the ruggedness of the people.

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc148/Devercia/Pian2-1.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc148/Devercia/Pianicon.png

Madina I decided that patterns and multiple color combos would best creat the feel of a more urbane culture while still maintaining a rugged earthiness for the sake of the setting.

Morek: I wanted to make a fanatical looking banner, the three stars being some sort of divine symbol and the swords and "hands" at the bottom showing the fierocity of that faiths defence, also reflected in the colors.

Scratch-built Photoshop-made banner and crest for Morek

As a theocracy I drew the crest for Morek as this:

The shield: The armour of their faith, impenetrable, with the white cross the symbol of their purity.

The mailled fist: The symbol of enforcement, with the realm willing to defend itself and it's beliefs without question and with force if necessary.

--Thegep 08:15, 20 August 2007 (CEST)

should be cropped more closely still. --Tom 09:01, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

For Pian en Luries

from The Dwarf Family

wrong image format for icon, read the contest page again for the technical details, please. --Tom 09:01, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

http://wiki.battlemaster.org/images/Schild3.jpg

The meaning:
Gold (Or) :Generosity and elevation of the mind
and Red :Warrior or martyr; Military strength and magnanimity
The Eagle: Person of noble nature, strength, bravery, and alertness; or one who is high-spirited, ingenious, quick-witted, and judicious. The open wings stand for protection.
The Helmet: denotes wisdom and security in defence; strength, protection, invulnerability. The open vizier stand for facing the enemy without fear, from man to man as a honourable and courages soldier.
The Wreath of laurel leaves: stands for Triumph.

It fits the best for Madina: Forests and hills are the home for the Eagle. Security and strength in defence (helmet) due to natural waterways and island. This defensive advantage gives protection (open wings) to those who live in the only republic.

This is the coat of arms from the Irish side of my family. I believe it would be a great one for Pian en Luries.--Bronnen 02:57, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

must be on black background, needs icon, scaling it down a bit couldn't hurt. Also, are you very sure you want your family coat of arms in a game? --Tom 09:09, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

(Based off of the Celtic cross) A potential banner for the realm of Springdale.

Shape: Cross- The cross represents strength and durability, symbolic for the might of the realm’s cities and the centralized institution of the monarchy.

Circle- The circle’s position reinforces any weak points along the cross itself, indicative of the smaller towns and rural populations supporting the realm as a whole.

Colors: Silver- The streaks of silver are intended to show the wealth and opulence of the realm’s cities, as well as the polished gray walls of their powerful fortifications.

Green- The majority of green corresponds to the importance of the plains and grasslands the realm stands on, providing a foundation for further growth.

--Denton 04:15, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

badly needs anti-aliasing. icon must be transparent instead of black background. banner could be scaled down a little. --Tom 09:09, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

Seccond banner, would suit Morek due to the Scroll, giving off the impression of a religious nature:

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/jonno88/scrollnsword.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/jonno88/logosmallf.jpg

Only soures are; [6] It's the swords at the back of the banner. The scroll is made from scratch and the stand before it is an adaption of a photo I've taken.

I'll have logo versions of them both done for tommorrow, I have them saved in multiple different formats so it's easy to change the colour of the canvas, and I imagine the swords from my seccond banner wouldn't look very good in a low resolution picture so they can be easily removed. This also allows me to easily edit the images should any part of them be unsuitable.

The text is also written by me, I won't say what it says now but given the oppertunity it will be the basis of all the text and teachings in the religion of Morek (providing you find it suitable for Morek).

jonno88

for the icon, I'd select just the scroll. the swords look like faint lines when scaled down so much. --Tom 09:09, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

All 100% original creation.

--Metsamees 17:08, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

the first two should be scaled down somewhat. The icons must be transparent (alpha channel). --Tom 09:09, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

Was thinking Madina, but it could go with any of the other realms. Simple shapes (Custom Shape tool) with a standard pentagon.

--Rondolo 01:52, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

has potential, but too much primary colours right now. --Tom 09:18, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

This one I found most of it on a photobucket style website I quite liked it so I dled it and spruced it up a bit. It could be for either Morek or Pian more likely Pian because of the fluer de lille and the french-like name. (source:http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/who/character_traits/noble/2977339_coat_of_arms_and_wings.php?id=2977339)

Mdina is a place in Malta (where I live) a large castle and the old capital city during the time of the romans. I thought I would use a Maltese cross as a background and a roman centurion helmet aswell.

(I know the icons aren't very good but they can be edited...)

--Lumberjack 20:46, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

banner must be on black background. No idea how you're going to do that for the first image, though. :-) --Tom 09:18, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

needs some anti-aliasing and the springdale banner could be scaled down just a little. --Tom 09:18, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

I tried, but I dont know if thats really much better than the originals, looks blurry--Aralaiquendi 22:29, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

Made with the help of a former BM player/graphic artist. For any realm and can be personalised with the realm name written in runic letters down the sword.

-- Reapers Family 14:29, 23 August 2007 (CEST)

the banner should be scaled down a little bit. --Tom 09:18, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

scaled down as requested --Reapers 11:34, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

I didn't mean that little. :-) - scale down to maybe 75% of the current size, please. --Tom 10:26, 26 August 2007 (CEST)

Drawn from scratch in photoshop. Rose is clipart, sword and stem is drawn.

The red rose signifies passion and the sword is the will to enforce it. It could suit any realm and the realm name can be added on the scroll at the bottom.

--Uceek 00:01, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

crop the banner more closely, please --Tom 09:18, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

done! --Uceek 11:37, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

Better. Should also be scaled down, maybe 80%, 75% of current size. --Tom 10:26, 26 August 2007 (CEST)

Darby Family Submissions

This is my submission for Madina (and I apparently can't spell). There were no specified cultures so I decided to invent one so I could make a culturally relevant banner. The culture I made is a Matriarchal culture in which the ruling caste of women feel that warfare is a base activity and thus beneath them. They prize things like wisdom, ingenuity, and trade. The motto translates to "Beware the man of one book." ("man" being genderless). The various images I used came from the following sources: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Any of the pieces can be changed, and I will likely have to make the wreath at the top lighter before it is used.
