Re: Coats of Arms
Hi Deguerra,
I've found some useful stuff and I would like you to consisder having a go at making the heraldry for my character seeing as you have a talent for it if you please.
I now serve the Duchy of Bretagne and The Order of the Fleur de Lys.
These are some useful sources:

Re: Coats of Arms
A quick google gives me this.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

Re: Coats of Arms
Would it be possible to narrow the red stripes so the boar's head will fit? Other then that it is excellent
edit: On second thought, could the white background be turned yellow as well?

as for the fleur de lys thing, I have two. Firstly, the exact description of the heraldry, I think, means that the fleur de lys is on the cross. that said, I'm not sure this is the best look. therefore, I've also included it in the corner, as you suggested:

Re: Coats of Arms
So. How does one resize a pic to fit it into a signature?
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Re: Coats of Arms
I agree it's a bit busy. How about this: first, flatten out the chevron a little bit so that it has a bit more room above the point and below the 'wings'. Then reduce the size of all the heads (make them all the same size) and fit two below and three above, with one of the ones on top over the point. Also, I'd like the reverse head not to be central or special in any manner. Just one of the heads on the side somewhere.ok. here we are:

Yeah but it's one pisture so I can't set it as my signature.
Unless you could tell me how to.
