Flight Rising Discussion

this is a bit nitpicky but i dont like how the symbol is "patched" on while the other banners dont have this

it looks like its poorly made by a hatchling or something , other than that i would have loved it more than i do

I would have liked to use it on my Plague rep but it's just way too,,, rotten?? Like I get that's the plague aesthetic but I mean... I would have liked the post and top part to have been like solid black metal or something, and the banner itself I would have liked better if it wasn't tattered and falling apart.

I tend to not like Plague's aesthetic so like I'm not I guess the "target audience" but yeh

It looks like we're poor or something ,im not a fan of it

my only problem is that it's way more unique-looking than the other banners, the fire one is the only one that even comes close.

I just don’t like that plagues aesthetic is now bones with meat on them always. Does the standard really need to be made of what looks like a spine? Can’t it just be carved bone, if it has to be something? That would be much more cool imo, some dragon killed a giant monster and made it’s flight’s banner out of its rib

At least the one we have leads to a kinda funny mental image of a dragon making it wobble back and forth because its made of vertebrae.

I think the spine is from an acual dragon and thats freaking cool!

Plague has a different relation with death than the other flights do, they could honor a mighty warrior with using thier bones to make the banner and honestly: I would prefer that over anything else.

Hope we get weapons made from bone as well! Or shields =0

Honestly i don't know how to feel about this flag.
I like the banner itself with the plague rune being patch work, i always imagined it would look like that. Plague being survival of the fittest, I'm sure they're proud of the scars they bear as they show they survived something brutal. So to me it's fitting they would wave a tattered and ripped banner around.

As for the what's holding the banner... no thanks. While the spine looks interesting it's really unusual looking, and you can tell it's copy pasted. The miniature "meat wreath" at the top looks really out of place and not that great. It sticks out like a sore thumb, and if they were going to make the pole made of bone, why not have some cool skull and cross bones fixture there instead? Carved or painted bones would look significantly better imo.

So .. I'm iffy on this standard. :/
