Ladies and gentlemen, my first flag on this site... a Romanov-Ruled New Kingdom of Granada (or as we know it OTL since 1863, Colombia) made crudely on MS Paint
Here's a quickly and roughly put together flag I did out of boredom for the werewolf 'Lupan Empire of Rome' from my Halloween inspired map I'm still working on, as seen on the Map Thread. And yes, that is the witcher medallion. Honestly it was the most badass wolf head logo I could think of.
Flag for the Kingdom of the Rhineland. The Kingdom was formed as a rump of the Kingdom of Prussia, who acquired a considerable amount of land in west Germany following the Napoleonic War (as OTL). However, in this ATL, liberal revolutionaries succeeded in overthrowing the King of Prussia in his own lands, forcing the Kingdom to move.
1875 Map
This map shows the Kingdom of the Rhineland in 1875, alongside the Austrian Empire (which absorbed Bavaria as a title in the 1840s), the Republic of Germany, the Second French Empire, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In this ATL, the Second French Empire was established directly via revolution and Napoleonic sentiment rather than conversion of the Republic. Pro-German revolutionaries in France's easternmost lands, particularly Alsace-Lorraine, joined the Kingdom of the Rhineland. By the time the government of the Second French Empire under Napoleon III had recovered and restored order, it was too late - the territories had been occupied and militarized by the Rhineland.
2. Bonaparte Argentina or Chile
How do you like thsi flag for a Bonaparte Argentina?
Still very new to flag making, can I get some advice on general technique, hints as to how to make my flags better visually. Example of where I'm at below.
SNIP
Three tips;
1. Use Inkscape
2. Use Inkscape
3. Use Inkscape
It is (in my opinion) the best vector illustrating software that's currently available, and coupled with the fact that it has a very minimal learning curve I can't emphasise how great of a tool it is in creating good looking maps and flags.

also... a small challenge...
1. Habsburg Monarchist Colombia
2. Bonaparte Argentina or Chile
3. Wittlesbach Mexico
Something along these lines, perhaps:
Well, if you want constructive criticism, flags usually need to have good contrast, so as to be easily recognizable at a distance. Though I find the bold geometric design appealing, this flag, with its shades of gray, all blends together.
