Coats of Arms

[AussieGiant]

red griffin on a red background or the other way around?

reminds me of the frisian war flag: white eagle on a white background

i assume white in there somewhere?

edit: how about this

That's pretty damn cool deguerra!!

I believe you have hit on a wonderful idea at personalising and adding extra meaning to peoples characters.

How do I get that photo so I can use it in my sig?

[deguerra]

thanks :D



there you are

[AussieGiant]

I clearly have no idea how to put this in my signature.

Can someone explain

[Cecil XIX]

I believe it's just like posting a screenshot. Go to your sig and ad the url with [img][/img] tags.

Bloody marvellous Cecil. Excellent.

deguerra,

Can I suggest some work for you? :-)

If you could theme these up, based on the various houses and have each player with their own version that would be excellent.

A lot a of work I know, but you have some talent there my friend.

[deguerra]

well that is the general plan and ive started in the first post. that being said, i want to leave people whatever freedom they want so the house may not be immediately recongisable

[AussieGiant]

fair enough.

[Northnovas]

That is very nice! Should Karl be getting something similar being part the family or to do I grab something totally different in the Austrian House?
They add a nice touch deguerra. Really nice work.

Up to you NN.

You married Arnold sister...I'd say that gives you free reign to do what you would like.

[Northnovas]

I like the colours for the House. I guess I could add something from the Outremer for being a Crusader. Maybe a cross with a mean looking kick- a## kind of animal/creature. I will have to give it some thought.

[deguerra]

ok do that. I'll put something together when you let me know exactly what you want on it.

edit: stuperman, sorry, didnt see your post from a while back. will get to work on that tonight, but ive got friends coming soon

[deguerra]

sorry for the double post, but its gotten to the stage where ive made enough new stuff:

stuperman what do you think of this:

northnovas, what do you think of this: its got austria, outremer, croatia and an animal...that being said it might be a bit too busy...let me know what you think:

(yet another one that vanished...)

edit: Cecil, what are we doing with Edmund Becker. I understand youve reconciled, but something Bohemia flavoured none the less?

edit2: a less busy version for northnovas:

[Stuperman]

That looks awesome! not trying to be picky but could I get it resized? to a more sig friendly size?

[Northnovas]

Edit 2 looks less busy I like that. Can that be resized for the sig as Stuperman mentioned?

[Ferret]

Out of curiosity, why Saxony? The only thing I have against saxony is that the green sash is quite hard to get into place right :D. Anyway let me know what you think:

Zim, in all seriousness, if you'd like yours a bit more personalized, let me know, id be more than happy to

deguerra

that's damn near perfect! (only not quite perfect because of me ) As for why Saxony well...only 3 people know anything about that (maybe 6 OOC though) but it will most probably come to nothing now, just an old dream of Dieter's.

[deguerra]

@all of you: yes, will post signature sizes in a second. I only post the biggers sizes first so you can actually see them better to see if you like them. and now im intirgued by Dieter's dream :D

edit: here they are:

Cecil, what are we doing with Edmund Becker. I understand youve reconciled, but something Bohemia flavoured none the less?

Indeed. I did some research on this a while back, and I came up with a coat of arms for Bohemia.



I'd like something like this, with the all red background replaced with Austria's and scaled down for a Count.

[deguerra]

righto. how much of the gold leafy stuff are we wanting to keep. it doesnt really fit with the style of the coats of arms i can make with inkscape, but if you want it, youve got it :D (i will just copy+paste it from that basically)

edit: so this is the base, let me know if you want the gold leaf and whatnot:

[Cecil XIX]

Actually, that's exactly what I was looking for. Huzzah!

[AussieGiant]

That looks great guy's.

deguerra,

I just want to say again that you've added something to this game that is entirely part of the period and an excellent addition to the avatar ownership theme.

The history of everyone's coat of arms throughout the game will be fascinating to look back on when it's all finished.

[deguerra]

glad to hear you're all happy :D

heres a more sig friendly version for you cecil:

[Stuperman]

Thank you deguerra, I think this looks Awesome!

I think you've added something to the game, I think that these coats of arms will help people have the 'ownership' feeling that TC was talking so much about. I love it!

[deguerra]

glad to be of use :D that being said, I really don't deserve this much praise. Most of my bases are either directly copied from somebody else (usually on wikipedia) or just altered slightly. Then pasting new designs and symbols on top is no great feat, just a bit of time consumption. That being said I enjoy doing it, and of course I enjoy doing it more when I get such high appraisal

Now, for more people. Where's that lazy Emperor for example. Or the chancellor for that matter.

[Zim]

No Chancelor during the Cataclysm, and the Emperor is at sea.

[deguerra]

TinCow and econ21 then. I figure this is OOC so being at sea doesnt matter. Smartarse

My avatar situation is slightly "in flux" at the moment or I would take you up on your offer. Rest assured that I would have had you create a complex and over-the-top coat of arms for a very over-the-top Crusader if Jan were alive or if I knew for sure my avatar was staying in his family.

Either way, thanks for doing this for us. I think it adds a lot and helps get people more into the game.

[TinCow]

Sure, you can do one for me. It should be a pure Bavarian shield with some symbol referencing Gerhard Steffen in the middle. Perhaps an indication of where his rise to power came from: the destruction of Pope Gregory. If you could work an all-seeing eye into it, without the eye being blatantly obvious, that would be nice too.

[RoadKill]

Can I have the same one Duke Arnold has, but can i replace the white with black, and the black with white, and could i include a sword somewhere on it. And maybe an eagle instead of the griffon.

[deguerra]

TinCow, yours will need some more thought. I'll get back to you.

RoadKill, what do you think of this: I added a Hungarian bit with a sword for your Duchy, and the eagle as per your request:

edit: made the white on the subshield slightly larger. Looks better i think:

Sorry, for the doublepost

TinCow, I've put something together for you. It's by far one with the most personal liberties taken on my behalf so far, so don't hesitate to tell me you want something else. At the end of the day, I want you to like it, not me. Let me know what you think:
