Tall Paul Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have Just finished the artwork for the C.H.E.S (Thats Colchester Historical Enactment Society) Flag, Prior to beggining construction, so I decided to post it to see what you guys thought. The Image of the skull, and the design of the wings is taken from period Gravestones and woodcuts, the cutlases were also based on early 18th century artwork.

Silkie McDonough Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I like it Paul! I especially like that you based the designs on period work. I had been wondering why the skull seemed like a veague memory, now I know, because it probably is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Just tryin out an idea.. work in progress Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Captain Jim Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I like it Paul. The large graphics and simple, familiar designs (for the times) will make that flag recognizable from a distance which, after all, is the point of flags at sea.

Ransom Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 My flag is my avatar. I kept it rough looking, so it would look like it was painted on faded canvas. It's a horse skull with a black heart under it. Means "Your worst, blackhearted nightmare come true." I picked a red background partly because everyone else was doing black, and because it could mean "blood" or "bloody." In the original drawing I did, the letters F and R are made to look like folded scraps of canvass, but the avatar is so small you don't really see that detail. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

It's on my long list of things I need to make. I don't have much kit, as there aren't any pirates where I live. Most of my pirating I do on the Pub. But I'm working on it, and may try and attend some of the So. Calif. events next year. Hope so anyway. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Quartermaster James Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Well, I'm just drafting my colors now. It'll be some time before I have an image to post. For now, all I can do is describe them as planned: Maroon field with yellow/gold dancing skeletons with interlocking limbs ala Tibetan Citipati (The Lords of The Carnal Grounds).

Tall Paul Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well, after finally putting our new flag togeter. I thought that I had better put up some pictures of the finished item. So, after spending half an hour in a Very light, gusty breeze, holding up my camera phone, I managed to get a couple of not very good snaps of the flag with the wind behind it. So, here it is.

Tall Paul Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I like your design!What did you make it out of? greg aka gof The fabric is a lightweigt cotton canvas, and I painted the design using acrylic paint mixed with a scrren printing compound to make the design waterproof. This may have been a mistake, since it took three coats of paint (Six after painting both sides.) and the plastic component in the screen printing compound made the design very heavy. To pick out the details, I used a Black perminant felt tip marker. I used modern paints in order to prolong the life of the flag, but if anyone can suggest an alternative to the acrilic/screenprint compound, that is less heavy, but still waterproof, I would be very greatfull.

BILLY BONES Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I used acrylic out of the tube for any painted flags on POTC III. It held up well, but there was some cracking, which turned out to be desirable for a movie. The only time the acrylic failed was when the flag was washed and then thrown into a cement mixer with volcanic rock to age it. Rather extrme, and I'm not sure anything would have held up through that punishment. Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
