Okay well I finally got Photoshop at my house so I have now opened up for business making flags. I am a graphic designer for my company, LaoGaming (Which can be found at http://www.laogaming.com), and I love using Photoshop so I will take on all flags. One thing that I won't do are flags that have anything to do with religion. I am religious myself but I won't make anything that can make people angry that deals with religion. Sorry but I won't.

View my portfolio of flags at: http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/ns.html

Request a flag using this form: http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/getflag.html

nobody wants a flag??? come on i am bling bling at photoshop. Anything you want I can get.

BTW check out Kwaswhakistan for my flag, I just have the russian flag on this one.

You seem eager, so I was thinking, and I have some things i'd like to do with my current flag.

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/terra_alliance.jpg

I was wondering if I could get a cluster of twelve gold and silver stars around the Commonwealth insignia, alternating, like one gold star, then a silver one, then a gold one, and so on. If you have to shrink the logo to put the stars around it that's preferable.

And if you could clean up the logo and brighten the colors that would be nice as well.

Thanks. :D

ok...... will be done though I think they have changed the size that flags can be I'll have to look.

ok... here is the flag:

http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/flag2.jpg

Any changes I'll be glad to do them, for Photoshop is my home..... Later I'll have a page up with the flags I have done.

Well, if you want people to request flags so badly, then I suppose that I could try.

Simply put, make a vast, starry expanse of space. In the center, make a star with about twenty points. Make that and I would be very... happy.

hmm i could do that easy but i probably wont be able to work on it until tomorrow.... also, the star in the middle would be.... white???


view my "portfolio" i am working on at: http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/index.html

Probably gold, or if neccessary white.

If you think your flags can beat that, I might just need to kick you to the dark side of the moon! (hahahahaahahaha... hahahahah.... haha.... ha... (silence))

If I seriously cared about flags, I'd enlist your amazetastic Photoshopping abilities. Anyone who DOES care about having a good looking flag, talk to this guy! (This makes up for my initial comment)

EDIT: Forgot a / before [/img] :oops:

.... i dont know what to say... was that a compliment or an insult... or both....???? anyways.....

here is the flag as a white star:

here is a gold star
http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/flag5.jpg

and here is it with 20 points on the star which i didnt think looked that good, take your pick:

The Ganchelkean States is having a contest to design a flag for their region. If you want to participate, contact Ganchelkas by telegram.

get yer flags, get them 2day!

you all need more flags or a new flag....

come on im the photoshop master get flags 2day!

BTW this is lomaks empire, which is also kwaswhakistan and kwaswhakistan2

I'd like the Swedish flag (in the NS size) but with the german Iron Cross in the middle. Or in the upper left corner. That would be great!

Okay I have a lot of requests so I'm gonna start work on them and post them up here about 2 hours from now.

ok here are two options for you svea riga:

http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/svea2.jpg

okay here are a couple I have finished for people that requested over email, thought I would post them here as well:

Could you maybe clean this up a bit and make it a litle better. And could you make a similiar one but have a large circle with 8 other smaller circles around it, all inside the blue area.

I was curious... have you seen the album cover for "Kopfschuss" by Megaherz? Well, here it is...

http://www.megaherz.com/images/covers/large/kopfschuss.jpg

Well, get rid of the text, and put the clown on a background with a nuclear blast. I want the colors inverted on the entire flag. I.E., red background, gray-to-black nuclear blast, etc. etc. If some of the images start to blur together, then either play around with the gray scale or just skip the inverted colors entirely.

Can you do that? I'd prefer this nuclear blast...

http://www.obozrevatel.com.ua/foto/2003/08/nuclear_blast_150%20.jpg

If not, then it's all right, but you know... I do want that as a flag.

EDIT: Screw it, use this e-mail to send me the byproduct: toter_krieger@hotmail.com

Amidonia: So in the one with the circles, you want what is in the blue now gone? and the other one just cleaned up? Just confirming

Archaic Slang Words: Okay.... It will be a bit hard to get it to 6k, but I can probably do it... ok and about the inverted colours, ill post some examples here later actually.... but inverted on the whole flag including the clown and the background? This might not get down to 6k, but I could make some really cool other pictures with this.

Ill start work on both of these tonight.

Ya, that's pretty much it. Thanks!

Can you make a flag with an American Defense Shield in the Center, no stars, just little fish. With black and silver stripes instead of red and white ones, my SilveryMinnow over the top and a crossed fishing hook and fishing net at the bottom? The background of course would be blue, with spaced black wavy lines... like VVVVVVVVVV (no more than 6 lines plz.) across the background?

ok Amidonia I fixed up your original a bit, made the colours a bit better:
http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/amidonia1.jpg

I'll start on the others for both of you as soon as I finish this movie I am watching.


By american defense shield you mean this?
http://www.fivestardefense.com/images/stshield.gif

Yes but the shield should dominate the center of the flag. No stars, no fish either plz. Except for my SilveryMinnow.

So you want just the sheild with the colours altered like you said, then no stars on the shield, blue background, black wavy lines in the background, and your big minnow at top and the net and hook crossed at the bottom is that it?


I got a bit confused so I am making sure.

It would be the same as the American Eagle behind the shield that the Dept of Defense uses. If you need a picture of my minnow I can e-mail you one.

hmm I think I get what you are saying, I'll make about 3 different ones so you can choose.

Archaic heres a couple:

Amidonia here is the alternate:
http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/amidonia2.jpg

An white eagle on a red background is all we ask, but the eagle should be "flag style", and should look really, well.....killer. If you could find something for me it would be much appreciated.

and by flag style you mean............??????? like the eagle on the mexico flag, very noticeable as an eagle with only one colour?

Yes, that's what I mean. Not simply a photograph or drawing of an eagle, but one which would actually be found on a national flag.

ok you are on the waiting list, should be done by tomorrow, monday at the latest. (its saturday here right now)

Okay, great. Thank you very much.

Archaic heres a couple:

http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/test1.jpg


Beautiful. You are a master. Thanks! This is great. :D

I'll take anything. Actually, i know!

http://www.roadrun.com/artists/Chimaira/mini.jpg

Take that image and put it in the very far left of the flag. Make it as high as the flag itself. I want it sort of "faded" over two crossing lines. I want them to be black. One line will be centered and horizontal, the other line will be vertical, but a little off center to the left. I want them to be about 15-20px in width.

Lemme know! ;)

archaic thank you yes i am the master, i do quite like that one myslef. I look at most of these flags I make and go "you rule man, you are the best dude, these represent foo dawg hizzy shizzy blent homie" (yes thats odd)...

Eviltan you are on the waiting list.

you know eviltan.. i think i have used another versi0on of that image 2day on another flag..... a bit weird for me to see 2 people wantin the same image (variation of image) in their flags.


eviltan check out the image (i forgot where it is so heres a link to a page that has it) http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/ns.html

ok one last chance to get your "flag orders" in on this "batch" of flags to be done within 24 hours. Post within the next 5 minutes

how do i get any of these flags for my nation???

well i guess you could use some of the flags that have been posted here but you should ask the nation that they were made for to get permission to use them, even though i claim copyright on all of them.

Normally what you would do is post some idea of what you want your flag to look like then i make it and you upload it to be your flag.

i've got the flag I want, but I'll keep you in mind if i need another flag project.

request a flag through this form now if you like:

http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/getflag.html

more more more I need more people that want flags I love messing around in Photoshop give me more flags to make!!!!!!!

(I'm bored ok?)

I would like a red background, with a vampire bat in the center, something Batman-style, but not too much, with red eyes and fangs. Thanks.

Over email

EVILTAN: I almost forgot about yours and I just made this one real quick, I can still make the one with the symbol fading over the lines, but it will have 2 be done 2morrow (monday) about 5PM Mountain Time
http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/eviltan.jpg

silverminnow this was the best i could do... your flag just didnt want to work with me for some reason, and the net looked really really bad on it, very unlike a net.
http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/choices/minnow.jpg

ook there are over 600,000 nations in this game, there have got to be more people that need flags!

1 Infinite Loop definately has a monopoly on the business

ahh yes, he made my original flag but then i represented and made it better. i say me and him duel to the death (real life) whoever wins gets to do flags

did you get my telegram and if so send one back with the url of the flg I wanted

which one of my nations did u send the tg to...?


I did not see any tg's from anybody on any of my nations, try the online form: http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/getflag.html

I sent you the request just then.

so how amny flags do you make in a day

usually i make about 5-10 but lately i got Blender Publisher 3D and I have been playing around in that so I haven't made many the past couple of days.

ok well here's the thing: i have gotten bored of Photoshop for the time being, and have gone back to Visual C, maybe a week, maybe a year until I start back up on Photoshop. Anyways, sorry to u that I said I was making a flag for. Great games, lowest prices, http://www.laogaming.com

btw, i really feel that the net=boring. nothiung 2 do... anybody got any good sites post em here or something. http://www.laogaming.com

i like to buy this flag http://www.laogaming.com/images/russ/ns/flag3.jpg

all flags i have created i claim copyright on and therefore nobody may use them without my permission, and i dont really feel like giving permission for anybody to use my flags (except of course those nations i created them for) so no, u cant buy that flag...... visit http://www.laogaming.com maybe in the future when im in a better mood ill let u use the flag.

my email is down would you be able to just post it then I could save it from here.

Please do me a favor and create me a flag, I must have one! Lol, really, I seek a good flag, and your Skillz are beyound that of good, it seems, perhaps excellent. Help me, no?

maybe in the future when im in a better mood ill let u use the flag.

And you expect people to do business with you? :roll:

ok im sorry but there has to be some blind people in here. im not making flags anymore for the time being cos i am working in blender publisher (as well as visual c for my company) so i wont be making flags for a while.

Thanks, Lomak. I've actually decided to scrap it and do somethign else.. Sorry!
