No problem. I guess i was being a bit over sensitive. I guess that it stemmed from the amount of time that I put into making the characters.

Ok, when you learn how to use Maya. Let me know. I'm currently learning iClone.

I'll let you know for sure.

This is the first rough draft of the Fleaman hybrid race. It looks a little different today, as i have streamlined him a bit, and changed his armor to look more medieval. As I said there are more that I have in an offline PC here in my home.

Looks a little like someone Ultraman would have fought.

Yeah lol, I changed him up a bit, he's thinner built now, with a slight hunch to his back. The face is more or less the same though.

FYI, (60's) Doctor Who used the name "Thals" for a humanoid race.

I don't mind much if some of my names aren't totally original, what matters is if the characters themselves are, if their yearnings are compelling to a reader.

Just made a flag for the Albanite Empire, looking for some feedback on the design:

Flags rarely look good with a lot of text on them. Try working in LPI instead.

Also tell that to Arab countries 😛

LPI?

The first letter of each word (it looks like something Latin derived so I assume its read from left to right).

Only Saudi Arabia has a lot of writing on it and gets away with that because the text is highly stylized and the rest of the flag is extremely minimalist.

The flag you've made has a symbol in the center (one I really like) that dominates the image of the flag. If it does not represent the Albanite Empire you should get rid of it. If it does then you don't need the text. Imagine the British flag but with GOD SAVE THE QUEEN in the middle. It would add no real content to the flag, be hard to read, and look messy.

Flags are defined by minimalism. Less is more. Someone's list of the worst flags in the world has the Northern Mariana Islands, Turkmenistan, and Guam which all try to stuff in a bunch of extra stuff.

The worst looking flags are inevitably the most detailed ones:

Updated version:

You sure you want the crescents to be tilted? It creates a off-centre, asymmetrical feel.

Slanted, angled. Rotated.

Idk, I think it works, it's supposed to be a kind of infinity symbol
