I used the new celebrations as a total break for this contest and design. Then this evening I asked myself, if I was the great power of the Earth, what kind of herault would I want to annonce the approch of my army.
With this statement, I found my design pretty "meh" and unconvincing for that purpose. If I was the great and big Earth, I would love to have something bigger, heavier and more frightening to announce my army.
Then I came up with the idea that I should create something only for this purpose, not a humanlike creature with a banner. So I keep the idea of a magical like floating symbol and build a gigantic golem to support it.
And it's cool, I like it a alot.
