    Default Coats of Arms

    Hello All,

    basically I have quite the obsession with heraldry (although not all that much knowledge of it) and enjoy crafting and designing coats of arms (especially round abouts the times of uni exams).

    Hopefully, however, this is good news for KotR as I would like to extend an offer to any and all of you to craft your avatars their very own coats of arms, to be used however you may desire.

    examples are zim and my signatures:



    I have come up with/easily found base coats for each of the four houses and the empire, but other than that I am open for suggestions and have quite a lot of mainly german and french coats of arms sittinng about both on my computer and on wikipedia. furthermore, adding in elements from other images isnt too difficult. so basically anything you can give me an image of, i can incorporate.

    Furthermore, I have a nice set of corwns for both Counts and Dukes (Princes also, actually) but am still looking for an Imperial one. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Im...z_Joseph_I.png is what im looking for, but that doesnt fit with the style of the coats of arms, if i just copy and paste it

    I only have two requests:
    1. Have patience, as this can take some time, and I am a bit of a perfectionist at times. That being said, sometimes the sizes are slightly off, and some crowns come out bigger than others. Don't read too much into that.
    2. That being said, obviously politics can come into coats of arms (the Swabian Principality being an example) and I am happy to include all your desires/claims. Just don't shoot the messenger, is all I ask
