ambientfiligreeSage asked me to come up with some emblems/symbols to be used on the RH wiki (they also double as canon emblems), and I thought I'd make a post showing my progress and whatnot.

The set-up for the national banners of each of the twelve kingdoms is the most complete right now. The leftmost banner has the perspective ratios, which apply to the rest of the banners. Also the Akuniku and Shusei banners are supposed to be smaller than the national and The royal dragon is actually supposed to be black, but I haven't gotten to drawing that. XD

The kingdoms are divided into three groups; the central, middle and outer kingdoms. Their emblems will also fit into one of three groups, because yay simplicity. The ovals will be changed for each emblem. I'm looking around for some suitable inspiration for the shapes, since I have to come up with twelve of them, and they have to be fairly simple and memorable as well.

Oh, and each group has a specific banner shape.

The emblems have a particular system going on as well. Circles represent heaven and immortals, squares the Earth and kingdoms, and diamonds represent people.
National emblems also double as seals for official government documents. Akuniku and Shusei emblems appear on their passports.
There will also be color restrictions and requirements, like purple is the color of heaven and yellow is the color of the emperor (in Chinese tradition), and will follow through in RH.
@_@ I think that's most of it for now, but I like questions. <3
