Commissioning a town flag!!

[Arithmophobia17]

Hi! I'm looking to commission a town flag My island is called Barrymore, and doesn't currently have a super strict theme but i definitely have plans for my island to have a boardwalk / beach town vibe in a good amount of it (boardwalk for the shopping district by the airport and a chill culdesac feel for all the houses if i can pull that off). if you need anymore information to plan something please let me know!! I'm more likely to be able to offer wishlist items and such due to low funds right now but i can offer some nmt, igb, and tbt

I'll do it! I love designing flags. I would like a rough picture or outline to get the vibe though. A vibe check if you will!

Ok! Is there any like google search worthy pic that encompasses it at all? I was thinking maybe a sunset over water, or a beach with the waves crashing on it. Something like...

would something similar to this work?

Spoiler: example

like with the beach and water (beach more horizontal though and without rocks and things), the image overall a bit brighter up until the night sky part, and a couple more shooting stars + the moon? if that's too much detail let me know, i kinda just thought this up on the spot lol

That’s fine! It is a bit much, but it’s no sweat. I’ll make some edits and check in later to see what you want changed.

Just some NMT or IGB, not much! How does this look?

i love what you've done so far! i guess i forgot clouds existed though, would it be possible to do it without the clouds? i really like the way the color evolves, it kind of resembles clouds on it's own

with the moon, would it be possible to add it in the right half like just above the lightest blue in a crescent shape? it's cool if it's not possible though!

also would a shine effect be possible on the water, to kind of resemble the sun being like just on the hoirzon point? like maybe a slightly lighter blue or something? again, it's fine if it's too much!

final thing- the beach: possibly somewhat like the first example image with the waves washing up, maybe the bottom third-half?

I keep feeling like a choosing beggar lol, thank you so much for your time and if I'm over estimating the pattern editor or just plain asking for too much please just let me know!
sorry for taking so long to get back to you btw, I had to go do a zoom meeting lol

Haha, that’s ok!! I like all the tips, it makes it much better! I’ll try and include all of those soon/tomorrow, because I should probably get ready to go to sleep c:

Round 2! (Sorry for the picture quality, don’t know what happened there :/ ) How does it look? I can tweak the moon size or delete the sun completely.

i do feel like the moon is a tiny bit off, like it needs to be a tad smaller or maybe a tiny bit further down. otherwise it looks amazing!!!
