Does anyone have any experience in making larger banners for Titans? I was considering making them on printable cloth but was curious if anyone has any experience in doing something like that and how they came out. Or if you guys have other experiences that worked...

I was thinking something like this:

The problem with cloth is it looks like out-of-scale cloth - especially coarser fabrics like cotton.

Best results tend to be using very shallow bas-relief detail and paint tricks to make it look embroidered or give texture to an otherwise flat surface.

Epoxy putty is one route. Personally, I'd use thin styrene sheet, instead. .010" is like paper, but can be bent into some lovely, flowing, dynamic shapes with judicious application of heat. Great for banners and the like, and can be layered for the shallow bas-relief winterdyne suggests.

I would second the plastic styrene sheet.

Would be easier to deal with than doing it in GS.
