AntsCanada ANT FLAG CONTEST (2 yr Anniversary of ACAF)

[TriMonarchicEmpire]

EDIT:
The Golden Empire: The 8 gemstones on the crown symbolise the 8 Queens of the colony.
The Dark Knights - North: The influences of the helmet of a Knight and a black rose symbolising the rose war between the nations.
The Dark Knights - South: Same symbol for the knight like ant but a burning heart to oppose their sisters in this war.

Also I now put the second variation in here so it is easyer to see the difference.

Maybe I will make a Fire Nation flag too and I even thought about making one for the sadly deceased Trap Jaws in memory of them.

What do you think of my flags, be detailed

Oh wow. First up I am not a professional so take anything I say with a grain of salt:

The first Fire Nation Flag has a good approach in simplicity yet I know where you got that symbol form.
I would try and make a flame of my own. Just take your time and be simple with it.

Take two of the Fire Nation is interesting as well because of the water (the flood that they survived) but It looks a little disorganised to me and the symbol should be the main object in your work. (especially with flags)

The Dark Knights reminds me of some pictures I get for my embroidery work: Looks simple but actually isn't.
The grey colors though make it easy on the eyes and I would consider making the crest the main symbol. Maybe use a knights helmet on top of the crest instead of the whole knight on a horse. (We are talking about ants

The Last one is also the one that I like the most. The peacefull union, the elimination of the lice, and the succesfull gardening attemt. But I would leave the lightest yellow on the right out of the flag and instead use a combination of the other two colours. (the darker one on the outside the light in the middle or the other way round, what looks easier on the eyes)

I don't know what else to say then: great work and much effort in making these! :3
Keep it up and you will improve.

Thanks......BTW i organised the colours to repersent one of the three original united kingdoms(I nicknamed The Amber Force, The Yellow Army, and the golden horde

This is a hand-drawn flag for the Golden Empire.
The colours I choose for this are gold, red and green which reflects the Yellow crazy ants well with the natural look.
I also featured the four queens in the centre as this is the main point in any ant colony and without her, the colony will fail and die so I drew the queens in the centre as a symbol of power.

How did you put the drawing on a pure-white background?

Most scanners do a pretty good job at making the paper a pure white, Assuming it was made digital this way.

I did scan the final piece as taking a picture with my phone came out in a terrible quality so I scanned it which was much more easier then trying to take a good picture with a phone XD

I drew this on a piece of paper from a sketch book

Dang

[Sehnsucht]

I figured I might as well try my hand at flags since I can draw, so these are my first attempts at some ant flags.
A flag for The Dark Knights, with a separate palette for south and north:



And a design for The Golden Empire, which I might redo because I'm not completely satisfied:


Any feedback is absolutely welcomed, as I would love to implement such things into my designs for the remaining colonies.
