Used the flag of India to create this tiny piece:

I am having some problems creating the white snow and the bird to blend with the sun's rays as well as snow.

Comments would be really appreciated.

EDIT: Remade this with proper proportions

Now, I have problems with one thing. The Indian Flag as a blue circle named Ashoka Chakra in the middle of white section where I have made a black bird. I just can't think of what to be done to have a blue chakra instead of the bird.

@A2J2: Make sure it has the same proportions as the Indian flag.

@Mrmo: is that the Danish flag? If so it needs to be taller :I

Yep, aslong as you didn't start prior to today. :)

Is it allright to use colours like gray instead of white which it actually is in the flag?

Is it allright to turn the flag mirrored or 90 degrees?

edit:

because as patriotic as I am, I'm working on a logo for my own game project which resembles the flag of Finland. I feel it could make it in the contest if the questions above are approved.

Seems like a pretty neat idea. I think I will do something based off of the Tanzanian flag: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Flag_of_Tanzania.svg/500px-Flag_of_Tanzania.svg.png - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Flag_of_Tanzania.svg/500px-Flag_of_Tanzania.svg.png

Good luck, everyone! :D

Is this a good idea? D:

My lighting skills suck and I never did an image that big before.

You should fix the AA of that circle, too. It's pretty bad.

. Like a blurry octagon ..thanks
Here is an update:

Another update.. I cleaned up a lot of little things throughout the image:

Benjiro: I personally like the straight sky version so far.

@Brightbit: Looks good so far.

@Arcan: Nope

I am having difficulties interpretiting the word "scene" in the challenge call.
Does something like this qualify:

Date Posted: 15 May 2012 at 2:39am

@Jeremy: Thank you.

Here's a small update:

Posted By: jeremy
Date Posted: 15 May 2012 at 3:14am

@Adam: Probably not - that's more of an extreme close up portrait? Scene = Some kind of backdrop with/without a figure or whatever.

The pixel art is not mine, but the owner asked me for a little help. I just do not understand anything about, and come here, ask how it's getting, what should I improve or add.

@ImPirate - thanks and no, I'm from Russia, why? The flag of Morocco is pretty challenging. If I come up with a good idea I'll give it a try

Posted By: AirStyle
Date Posted: 18 May 2012 at 7:56pm

@Lehmure : The first two panels are nice, but the last one doesn't seem to match with the theme you have already created. I would suggest doing same thing, but using the them your already have. Or, you could make each panel a different theme.

Posted By: Lehmure
Date Posted: 19 May 2012 at 5:28am

AirStyle:
My idea is make each panel with a different theme. .-.
Well, maybe i should edit.
