#flag guy queue is what I'm currently working on, and you should be able to see any ask requests you send there

REQUESTS

you can dm me or you can send me an anon ask request; dming me is usually easier, since ill update you when you when your request has been posted, and you can still request to be shown as an anon

yes i do alternate flags! any flag i havent made can be requested

you can request flag variants! heres some examples of the flag types that you can request from me:

feel free to save the flags on this post as well!

border colors (pick any color!) | borderless | sharp

mini flag, 60x40: this is their original size! | square | split (can be flipped!)

split circle | split star | split heart

circle | star | heart

shadow | shine | highlight

desaturated | normal (no edits!) | pastel

sparkle | gloss | bounce

feel free to request other ideas as well! i'll see what in can do =] you can also request edits, such as adding more/less sparkle, as well as combining edits, such as mini and pastel! the animated flags cant be mixed with other animated flags though, only with still effects! (ex: bounce + gloss cant work, but bounce + heart can!) you can combine more than one still effect (ex: sparkle + split + pastel + sharp), but understand that it may come out a bit crowded the more effects you add!

if you request a flag and dont send me a link of the flag you want, im drawing whichever one i want; if i cant find the flag, it wont get drawn. if i feel like i cant do a flag, or i just dont want to do one, it wont get drawn- i will do just about any flag though!

i can do private flags as well, if you'd like to request it through dms! if you have a custom flag you'd like me to draw but not post, for example, i am more than happy to oblige.

i dont mind you sending another message/ask if youre wondering where your request is

im not paid to do this, so im not required to do every flag you ask for!

ABOUT ME / FAQ

about me!

for anyone who cares, my pronouns are they/them, im an adult, yes i have medically diagnosed did, and yes i am lgbtq. but this account is about flags, not flag guy, so i wont talk about myself often.

why make flags?

simple: i wanted pixel flags. my simply plural was focused entirely on cute pixel art and old internet vibes, so i wanted mini flags that matched that.

my flags are inspired by these:

electricshan and hawkeyeflags

i found the first link, but they were too small/big so i looked some more. @hawkeyeflags had the perfect size (60x40 pixels), but i personally didnt like their designs, so i decided i would try to make my own. i used the 60x40 base size, kept the pixel inspired designs from @electricshan, and boosted that bitch up for quality sharp enough to make you bleed through the screen

why that size?

because i liked to use 50x50 on simply plural, so i thought that would be the perfect size. unfortunately, im fucking stupid, and discovered that its still blurry, so i had to find a way to make it still look sharp. so i upped it x16, turning it into 960x640, and liked how that looked so i kept it.

I completely forgot to say this, but all of my animated flag templates are gone, so I will have to make new ones. the program I was using supports the use of ai, but the new one I'm using now has different features, so my animations are not the exact same (slightly too fast or slightly too slow, for example). I'll be remaking my old animated flags since there's not that many, and replacing the ones in my pinned post so they will be more accurate to the ones I'll be posting from now on!

I'll let you guys know once they've all been updated everything has been updated, so you can now go back and save them to match with the new ones if you so wish. I also put a little note on those posts saying when they were updated! everything from this point forwards will be the same =]

[firstlevelflags]

this is just something i was considering since i got a long queue recently!

should i start responding to anon asks?

yes, i want to know when you see my ask

no, i dont want to see spam

yes, but tag them so they can be blocked

if nobody responds to this, i will assume you guys dont read my posts, so it wont matter much anyways lmao

[firstlevelflags]

i may start reblogging older flags during my slow hours (like in the mornings) so i have stuff to post- theyll have a reblog tag of course so you can block them

should i reblog my older flag posts?

yes

no

hello, i have once again updated my variants because i said so

[firstlevelflags]

i shortened up my pinned post since i use mobile (im on the go a lot) and i was getting sick of having to scroll through it over and over again 👍

[firstlevelflags]

pride month means more pride flags!! since i redid my variations, im going to be adding more of those to my daily posting roster! im going to try to focus on some of the more common flags, but there will be a few uncommon ones in there as usual

requests are still open, and i should have all requests out by tonight so whoever makes a request now will be first in line for tomorrow!

[firstlevelflags]
