A little google image-search and ms paint action goes a long way.
Nice images, bad flags. Those things would be hell to reproduce on the kind of scale you'd want to reproduce a flag on. They'd be expensive too. Too many NS flagmakers forget that flags should communicate as much as possible in as simple a way as possible. While it is impressive to show off graphic masterpieces, they cannot be considered flags.

MS Paint = Buddha :]
I use it exclusively, but only because I don't have access to the truly powerful programs...

I used to use simple images as you suggest, but I got bored of them. As for reproduction, (assuming it wasn't just a game) it is a matter of technology, surely?

For some of my more simple works, check the flags of Caveymen, Anarchic Capitalism, Hatters and Of Angels.
I suppose it's a matter of taste, but I doubt that RL flags will ever get that complex no matter how good our technology becomes.

No, I don't either.

A blue Hammer and Sickle? Unusual. One question though, why didn't you use a lighter shade of blue? It doesn't show up that well.
