I created this image using a paint program, with the exception of the lions, which I rendered in Poser. I drew everything else. Much of it was drawn one pixel at a time, or freehand using a pencil or airbrush tool. The image took me less than 3 chronological days, ending today, June 16, 2001. The original images is 1900x950 and I when I show the entire image, it appears distorted and lacking in detail. Hence, I show the complete flag on the top half of this image, and highlights of details on the flag shown in real size. The motto is "Post exitium." Someone who is educated in heraldry can easily interpret the meanings behind the symbols. I have created literally hundreds of images over the last 6 years, and I have sold licences to some of my work to different companies both inside and outside of the United States. Note: Image quality is degraded by download optimization compression. *Here is the updated image. I pasted a closer look at the helm in the lower right hand corner. The original flag was missing a wreath. I added one in.
