PREVIEW: Flags of Middle Earth-- Leaderhead Project

[Plexus]

Alright, I have most of the work done, I just need to convert these to avi and shrink them to the small versions. Tell me what you guys think, I don't want to do all this work if people don't want these.

The flags here were found on http://www.midcoast.com/~martucci/flags/designs/midearth.html .

The Shire

Saruman

Rohan

Mordor

Lothlórian

 

[Plexus]

King of Gondor

Steward of Gondor

Haradhrim

Grey Havens

Elrond (Rivendell)

Easterlings

Durin's Folk (Dwarves)

Cheers,
Plexus.

Cheers? WTH are you, British?

These are great. even though the Stewards flag is plain white, it does look alittle weird. Could you possibly the cut in it somehow or maybe change it some way?

 

[Plexus]

Maybe, I could show a field through the cut.

Hello,

I like the idea. I'm helping work on the LOTM thread down there somewhere. The general forum likes the idea of animated leaderheads, and most of these are made. However, I personally have a very slow connection, and wouldn't mind seeing these static flag images as downloads. So, by all means, pls go ahead and fix these up for LOTR leader heads.

These are the actual flags, so perhaps your flags should be modified?

The Shire:

Kings of Gondor:

Rohan:

Harad:

They're digitized versions of flags drawn by Tolkien, rather than just based on his text. Obviously, they have been mdoified somewhat, but you get the idea.

The Shire flag is also post-LotR, when a mallorn tree, shown on the flag, grows outside Bag End.

Cool, I didn't know those drawings existed. Very interesting.

Anyway, Plexus' Gondor and Rohan flags are close enough. The Shire and Harad flags could be redone, but no biggie in my opinion. Cool.

Pretty cool. I've been doing a WOTR mod myself and I can't find similar artwork to represent the actual leaderheads. Flags are a neat way to go.
