Could someone make a flag of a united HRE ruled under the Habsburgs.

Notes:

Prussia never gained prominence.

Austria never ruled over Hungary but did gain lands in north.

After Austria, Pomerania, Bavaria and the Netherlands were the most powerful duchy/kingdom in that order.

Mainly Austrian, Habsburg and Pomeranian influence.

Capital is in Dresden (not really important but eh)







Thanks in advance for any contribution.

Thanks!!!! Wow that's really friggin good, after a few hours I honestly grabbed some colored pencils just to fool around with my original idea, of having each quadrant a different flag, and it just looked awful

YOUR designs, on the other hand, look amazing, thanks a ton!!

Personally, I'm digging the saltires. Out of curiosity, what program did you use? I'd like to get into flag making myself

I know the question wasn't directed at me, but I'll chime in.

I like MSPaint for the most part (cutting things out of other flags, getting stripes the exact number of pixels wide, etm.) but I like Paint.NET for its ability to shift colors much better than MSPaint.

MSPaint's ability to make a straight line with the pencil tool is invaluable, and I really wish Paint.NET had that feature. I also find MSPaint's spill tool easier to use (more accuracy) but again Paint.NET can spill over multiple shades of the same color, so sometimes that is useful.

With MSPaint, I can undo back to a certain point in an image, make a selection, copy it, and redo back to the later point, then past the selection over the image, as "select" and "deselect" and "copy" don't register as events in the undo/redo list. In Paint.NET, they do, so if you undo to a previous point, then make a selection, you can't redo. Does that make sense?


So overall, I use both (often in conjunction). I often have several tabs in Paint.NET and several windows of MSPaint open for a single flag or map.

photoshop elements. It came free with my scanners years ago. If you want to try a similar program without forking out for it, you can get GIMP.

Here is my basemap from April 1940 to help anyone who wants to take this request. I have to drive out to watch the meteor shower right now, or I'd look into it now.

Do you just want a Texas flag with some kind of monarchist emblem instead of a star?
