Is there a reason the Tarkuul sigil is a rip off of the recycling logo? <.<

I think it is pretty obvious that Tarkuul is big on recycling.

Reduce, reuse, reanimate.

At the moment, I am missing Winya Ravena and Barak Runedar. Feel free to post a link here, or toss it to me via PM.

I didn't know there was a Barak Runedar one made? Last I recall from your original sigil thread Jes was planning to design them. Are you still making these Jes?

If not I can take a shot at it.. On a very basic level, I don't have many graphic design skills however.

If you give me an ms paint draft of it, I can also do it.

Waste not, want not.

I'm not sure if Winya has one either, but I could well be wrong!

I do not think one was ever decided on for Winya. It might be good if you pointy-eared gits can decide on something, as once I am done with the banners, I will start working on the shields.

A good purple for metal parts would be nice. The metal colors often look faded or silvery.

And a good black colour for metal parts. We REALLY need that. :cry:

Something like this might be possible. NWN is pretty impressive in its color application, in that it also applies a gradient as well. Theoretically we could expand the color palettes ad infinitum, the only effect would be some lag when switching colors around at character creation or in the toolset if we added a lot of colors.

Before you get a nerd-boner, remember that this is an extremely tentative 'might'. As promising as this looks it's something I haven't screwed with before and may not work as envisioned or at all. Don't assume it'll happen, even if there's a working proof of concept.

@ Eurgiga

Actually, it will happen. The first page of this topic has the announcement I am working on it, and shows off a few colors of the new palette I am making.

@ Svensk and Murex

Added both to my list. Thanks for the feedback.

I finished up Barak Runedar. If Winya Ravena wishes banners and shields, I will need something to work with.

Barak Runedar and Bendir Dale. Bendir Dale uses my personal favorite sigil, and is so far my favorite banner.

How hard would it be to get one for Caraigh, a white stag/ white stag head IC/Lore wise it seems a number of the people there worship/revere the White stag.

If the location is to small to take up space that's cool.

I can actually read runes and you spelled barak runedar wrong. and there is to few letters

Barak Runedar should be in Elder Futhark anyway. >_>

That's awesome pony, a big thank you!

The runes you are using are actually Tolkien dwarven runes rather than then Ed Greenwood's FR dethek runes. This source is accurate as per Dwarves Deep and FRCS:
http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Dethek

Personally I don't mind which are used but depending on how true you want to be the setting the dethek would be best.

And tolkiens runes are based upon the Nordic Viking runes

Not a problem. I will swap the runes about a bit.

I'd use Tolkien's runes if I were you.

I think you missed the posted FR-lore correct Dethek runes... Which seems the best choice above either of those other real-world based ones.

Winya did have one sigil tentatively designed and showed to Council members + High Captain and tentatively accepted. But it never got anywhere, the final version was never revealed.. Well the sigil shape final version was revealed but the official colors of Winya Ravana were not. The one working on it, me, lost interest entirely on the project.

We did have discussions of me providing a sketch of the sigil but my interest died and have not touched the project since. Well.. Touching the pen now if I can fashion a crude sketch of what it was going to be. A glass of red wine and I should be golden.

Also VKB made a nice one for the Armathora at the time, but I don't know if it relevant for current Winya. It has a gold dragon over a crescent moon.

Drew a quick draft of what was the initial idea for Winya RAvana's Sigil, though I did change it a little. In the start the idea was to have Life Stone in the center, but the crystal formation did not settle well, in my opinion, to the surrounding. Thus I changed the idea and added five strings as in a harp. I as well thought of leaving the center empty, which could have been a nice solution as well. Anyhow, here is rough sketch.

To be fair, I just made that in a free online heraldry maker. I envisioned that banner being a military one for the Armathora, using the colour scheme Sunkin devised for the faction.

I was rolling with Svensk on this one, cause I have very little idea how to actually read runes personally.

Ever wanted to play a fire genasi or a blackguard that looks hot? Well, the most recent color I made for the color palette expansion allows you to do just that.
