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)

Bingo! I might stretch the shield a bit taller so that the stag has a bit more room, change the proportions maybe, but that's exactly what I had in mind.

Awesome, to add a picture of me in Kit and add a paragraph or so and modify my name so it doesn't say Jorge A. (I would like Don Jorge de la Costa instead :)) I just can send you a PM with links etc?

Not that I know of, but the Lennon coat of arms has a stag in it.

People might confuse you for King Joffrey Baratheon. That wouldn't be good...

Join the SCA Heraldry group on Facebook and have one of their heralds work with you and make sure there are no conflicts...

He is right. SCA Heraldry rules on crowns in heraldry must be associated with crown titles obtained throughout the society. If you held a 'crown title' or 'ranking' or 'office' that permitted said crown, it would be permitted in your personal coat of arms/heraldry within SCA and acceptable. Otherwise, the crown is not allowable by their rules. I'm an officer in the Baron of the Bridge (SCA - East Kingdom).
