Thanks for the kind words, Sirs!  If only my 8 year-old felt that way.  When I showed it to him he asked, "Daddy, why did you put a cuckoo bird on your helmet?" ;D

Wow...that was magnificent, Red Knight.  Let me know when you're ready to start taking commissions... ;)

Saw this and thought of Sir Nathan.

This is great! For Sir Nathan's Teutonic affliation I couldn't agree more!

Interesting, shield-shaped ailettes.

(edit: I know that you meant the helm crest, but the ailettes caught my eye second)

So, Sir Patrick...are you ready to create my dragon crest?  :)

I wanted a griffin but Sir Brian is really the knight of the griffin, it figures prominently in his arms, and I've seen lions statant and rampant amongst you fine fellows so the lion is out as well.  Hyena, perhaps?  I do so love to laugh...but no.  ;)

I wouldn't worry too much about using the same beasts as others, since there are only so many to go around. But there are many choices that people forget about, such as eagles, bats, deer, chickens, ravens, bonnacons (lol), wyverns, cockatrices, dogs, wolves, bears, anything really. And there are also the head-only versions. Or just a claw.

I’ve also liked some of the various fist helm crests or hands clenching a sword or such.  ;)
