Heraldic Design

[Sir Wolf]

so thanks, now we'll all be hungry for ribs when we see you shield

[Lord Dane]

If I ever face you in any SCA battle wearing that tunic ... I am going to cover you in Honey Smoked flavor BBQ sauce at the onset & banquet on your bones.   

[Don Jorge]

Haha we will see who eats who...

I like it! It's very refreshingly different.

[Sir James A]

Agreed, different and nice!

[Don Jorge]

Thanks...I can't wait to see it in darker tones and translated onto my shield and jupon/surcoat...the complex jupon for late 14th century Spaniard I want might be a bit beyond my sewing skills at the moment so I might go for a more traditional French surcoat for mid to late 14th century...also even if made in linen not having it cover my sleeves might help keep me cool in the North Carolina summer!

"Per pale Vert and Or, four pairs of rib bones issuant from the flanks counterchanged." that sounds about right...at least what the SCA herald sent me for it...

I hate to be that guy, but... those bones look more like femurs than ribs

Here are a few examples of ribs in heraldry...remember this are issuant from the flanks...so you dont see the whole rib form...

Are you happy enough with it to add the image and text to the Order's roster? I can add those at any time.

He is going to send me a copy of the heraldic device in darker shades which is what I prefer. The lighter shade was used for SCA submission so there would be no issues with them. When I get that new device sent to me it should be ready for roster...I will write something up for it etc.

[Sir Edward]

OK that sounds good. I could also change the hues on the image you have, if you want. Either way works.

No need to have two people do the same thing

Thank you for the offer though!

Now I need to get some pictures taken of me in my kit...also need to get heraldry done up for my surcoat and shield!

[Sir Wolf]

do ittttt

[Aiden of Oreland]

ugh the inkwell program is such a pain in my butt! I hate Java...I did when I was learning and I do now that I have to use it...

I might end up just using photoshop to make my heraldry design!

Ya I used paint for this. But to get the shield shape to be right i got it off a heraldry design site. Its the same as most of the coat of arms the men on this site have.

Yes I quite like it! I really want to use a stag but I want the other stuff too so it wont really work so I may drop the whole stag thing. I'm still debating on whether or not to keep the bordering chevrons or not. My biggest concern is how the surcotte will look. Im thinking of making the green chief on both sides so I can be more easily identified. Except the back won't have the formee crosses. I may add a secondary chevron like thing at the bottom. I will be sure to post another update later this month.

A green chief border at top with the 3 crosses, and a stag over the white background - just drop the chevron and it will be easy to keep the stag without looking too "busy" for early heraldry

Like this? (I'll smooth it out later)
