Well, I'm ready for you.  This is the official submission location.  Post your submission in the comments section by noon on March 25.  If any of you are out of your caves while in possession of aCofK at that point come back and I will have decided by then how we'll determine the winner of the swag.  Maybe a vote?  Maybe a random selection because I love them all, maybe only one of you will post and it will be easy?

My Entry!

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

Here's my entry, sorry that it's sideways.

http://pics.livejournal.com/thelasteddis/pic/0002ax8x

The writing at the top says "United Under Hephestia", in English transliterated into Greek. The bottom lettering is "Sounis * Eddis * Attolia". Don't pick on my Greek too much, please, I'm still learning. :-)

Yay! Hooray! (And your Greek is all Greek to me, so I won't pick at it. Besides, it LOOKS REALLY COOl.)
And you have lily-drawing skills.

Here's my entry:

The loss of a hand started the united countries, a hook is what will strike back at the Medes. ^_^

(I tried to pick one of the official colours from each country...except Sounis which I just guessed because I have no idea what the official colours are there.)

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

That's really pretty! And hey, when I was contemplating having flags in mine, I was going to put Sounis's colors as purple and yellow. :)

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

XD Great minds think a like...either that or Sounis has a "purple" feel to it. ^_~

Medes, Away!

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

Here, my friends, is my submission. Bookishbabe, this is a really good idea, and it's going to be terrific!

And yes, Lady Jane. Those are cross garters. :)

Re: Medes, Away!

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Very cool! I think you deserve points for trying to include all of the major characters. ^_^

Re: Medes, Away!

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I kept on thinking "Oh, I HAVE to include __" and going back to rough drafts (yes, I spent quite a lot of time on this) to add them in.
His feet ended up getting pretty crowded...

Here is my post, http://goat-foot-baa.deviantart.com/art/QT-FLAG-157913299
The writing is in Greek, the circly thing in the middle is Hamiathes stone, because I couldn't think of anything else that I could do with my small skills. :)

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

Preety. I like how the Eddis part looks like a mountain.

Wow. Everyone knows Greek!

[tencups-i-swear.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love your one as well, Especially how they're all holding Gen up. :)
It does kind of seem like everyone knows Greek doesn't it? I only started Greek study this year though. :)

Here's my design, with a brief description: http://freenarnian.livejournal.com/657.html

Dude, that is BEATIFUL!
The metal animals, hook, hand, and lily look really good. I like the copyright too.

Re: Entry

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

Noooo! Curse me!

I meant "BEAUTIFUL," as you could probably tell. Bleah.

Re: Entry

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. =]

Um, yes, the copyright. I figured "better safe than sorry". You know, in case Peter Jackson decides to make the movie and STEALS my concept drawings! Ha.

Some of my doodles had an extremely similar woven-triangle-and-circle thing going on--looks like we were on the same wavelength!

But a goat for Eddis--didn't think of that. I went with a Griffin, because thats whats in the throne room.

But I just have to digitize mine. Meh...

[rosaleeluann.livejournal.com]

OK, I had a number of different ideas, this is the one I'll put here--for now. I'm not entirely satisfied with it, so I might post a couple different ones if that is alright. :D

[freenarnian.livejournal.com]

Oooo, pretty! I like. =)

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

Yes. Very nice! I'm kind of picturing it as a weathervane. Which Gen would put on his Annuxly rooftop.

[drashizu.livejournal.com]

This is my favorite, I think. They're all wonderful but this one's really simple and yet could really be used as a flag in, say, Byzantine Greece...? Very nice!

[rosaleeluann.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, thanks! I'm so flattered. I did try specifically to make it look like something of the time and area, I looked at alot of designs from Greece and the period to get a feel for what I wanted it to look like.

[vaireweaver.livejournal.com]

Aw, I didn't see the deadline was noon. I was out reeeaalllay late at a Michael Buble concert last night. If it's too late to count, what the hey. :D

Here's my entry... it was hard deciding to color it, I have a black and white version too. It was all put together on Photoshop.

http://yfrog.com/c8eddisattoliasouniscolorj

To our left is a lion, representing Sounis, and to our right, the noble griffin, which was, as rosaleeluann pointed out, mentioned as decorating the halls of Eddis (how could I forget about the whole goat thing though? Props to you, freenarnian!)

In the center is a deceptively pretty but very pointy arrow. Attolia/Eddis/Sounis (Atteeounis? Atteellsidounis? Attolleeddisounis?) is not to be messed with. The fletching on the arrow is a lily of Attolia, one of three in the flag — three for the three countries. Their stems are red and point to a Hephestia-ish crown resting at the base of the seal/flag.

The colors are Attolia's (except for some of Hephestia's red), a pastel side of celestial blue and yellow... Gen rules, so nobody else gets their colors in there. Plus I hear he likes yellow. Stripes because it looked like some Greek flags I've seen, and to incorporate the "three" theme again.

And because my hand-drawing skills are rotten, I borrowed two images... the rampant griffon is Lady Robyn's design, here...

and the rampant lion is from a contribution to my Narnia site, here:

Here's mine. It's very simple because most flags are, and represents three nations uniting and being entwined. I have no idea of what the colours should be for each nation (though Sophos wears dark red and gold in CoK) but I went for strong simple colours. I'm happy to change them / have them changed to the correct ones (e.g. purple, gold, red).

Ignore the black; I needed the outlines to fill in.

[bookishbabe.livejournal.com]

You are a collection of truly patient and kind-hearted human beings. Look at all of this creative brilliance you've contributed, and then I leave you hanging...indefinitely. And has anyone posted bitter diatribes? NO. Not one. Thank you for being so patient with me, you lovely lovely reprobates. I've been sick (mortally wounded...I deserve some consideration) but am on the mend and ready to fulfill my end of the bargain. I am taking stock of my resources and I will post winners tomorrow. XXHugs

[rosaleeluann.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon! I'm excited/anxious to see who/what/how you chose the winners!

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

I just checked this again and saw -- oo, cool. New(er ... I took awhile to check it again) entries!

I hope you're better by now, and would like to say that this was a vurry good idea for a contest.

*considers you, you mortally wounded one*
