Subsim Pirate Ensign Part II: Prototype Colours

Kaptlt.Endrass · 05-30-17, 06:40 PM

So folks, here's the first prototype of the ensign I've thought about. As is standard with rough pencil sketches, it's messy with a fair amount of things that are off-centre. That's my fault as I didn't do the proper artist thing and make a bunch of lines to make everything perfect.

I replaced the centre of the standard Kreigsmarine emblem with one of the logos I found for Subsim (What appears to be a US attack submarine firing a torpedo), and in order to prevent any complaints, I have replaced the swastika with your standard Balkenkreuz.

The peaked cap seems to be fairly good, but I could probably do a bit (A LOT) more work on the skull and G7a torpedoes behind it.

If those who were interested in the idea could respond with opinions, I'd l've to hear them. In addition, I plan to make a different prototype more similar to Henry Morgan's layout (multiple images on one flag).

I like the concept, it looks good.
Round out the cap a little to give it the well worn look.
For a drawing, use basic and appropriate colors with a gray background.
For an actual flag look, go with white on black with red highlights.
