I have been asked to lighten the shading of some of my earlier flags, especially French flags. I am inclined to agree that the shading of the Colonels' white flags is often too dark so will be working on producing lighter versions. So far I have replaced the flags of French Regiment Condé; see here: https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2013/05/minden-french-flags-project-regiment.html I shall post notices of which flags are changed in future as I post them.
Here is the older version of Condé:
And here is the new lighter version:
They do look a lot better lighter, you can see the colours clearer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray. Lots still to do on this but I am getting there! :-)

The lighter shading is certainly better. I often over paint my flags, if simple enough designs, and rely upon the natural folds created to provide most of the shading. If I had a really nice printer like I had access to when I worked, then I could use them as is and just paint the edges to hide the white of the paper.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve. It certainly does help a lot having access to a good printer! I do recommend a colour laser printer if at all possible but of course not everyone can use one...
