    The House of Baltar

    Neither is this the dawn from the east, nor is a dragon flying above, nor are the gables of this hall aflame. Nay, mortal enemies approach in ready armour. Ravens are calling, wolves are howling, spear clashes and shield answers

    Version 2 but I'm not happy with the font on the English lettering. But it has to be large to be visible. Version 3 I will adjust and maybe add a border with dragons or something.

    I think if you keep exploring other possibilities you will come up with something that satisfies you.

    Careful on the image aspect ratio and also keep in mind that the text should strike out from the background. So keep trying until you get something satisfying.

    The first is Gongsun Zan and the second is Cao Cao - they are taken from the game Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI. You can find a portrait pack here

    Thanks for the link and information. Im leaning towards going toward something that looks more like a statue. Its impersonal and I think that's more fitting in with what we have had before on the badges. The pics of the warlords lend to much personalization.

    Maybe change the terms somewhat to be more fitting with ancient china instead of the roman terms we use now all the time.

    Civitate = Soldier, Artifex = Artist, Moderator = Warlord, Hex = Huangdi ....etc.

    I like the colours of the last 3K badge concept but what it imo lacks is 3D-ish depth.

    Taking a crack at the Modding Staff medals. Adding some concept art here.

    Based on the idea of "Thor's Hammer" iconography.

    Gold small 25x35 pixels = alternate gold

    Gold large 75x100 pixels= alternate gold

    I like the alternate design better. Just leave out the blue trim.

    bronze small silver small gold small emerald small ruby small amethyst small

    bronze large silver large gold large emerald large ruby large amethyst large

    I think the numbers should be clearer on the 15YR.
