Medals are important things for an Element idea. However, medal-making is useless to the REAL Elemental Battlegrounds Discord since Plokster is the artist of the real game, but medal-making can be used to represent what the element looks like.

If you use FireAlpaca (I use FireAlpaca too) then you should go try this.
- First, find official medals for an element, like use Explosion.
- Copy each colors and remove the whole design inside that medal you used.
- Blur the gradient inside that medal using the Blur brush for to prevent an viewer to notice it.
- Then copy the emblem color and the shade. Then draw anything you would like to.
- Then use the Blur thing again and lessen it's intensity and blur a little bit the thing you've drawed.
- Change the hue in another program or if you want to change it inside of FireAlpaca then click Filter then find Hue.
- You can change it now.
- Then save it into by clicking File button
- Then click Save or Save As.
- Now name the medal, don't name it as the element medal you used for future uses.
- Save it as an transparency picture.
- Now you made your medal! You can post it in your element idea.

- Create a new layer
- On the new layer draw everything you want (be sure to select colors from the outline and disable anti-aliasing)
- Use select rectangle tool thing (or circle) and copy the drawing
- Create a new layer and move it below the one you drawn the middle emblem
- Paste it and move it a little to diagonal down-left.
