Coats of Arms

[deguerra]

ohhhhhh....ooohhhhhhh, mate,

simply excellent.

oh crap too big.

Can you siggy size it?

My word!! If I could quote a line from Top Gun right now I would. But the under 21 brigade here is not allowed to hear that level of innuendo.

my pleasure:

thanks deg.

The skills are...well, they're just too good.

[Ituralde]

Thanks a lot for the siggy sized one. It looks just beautiful. And all the other stuff. I think I have to kill all the other characters in the game just to grab those Coats of Arms for myself!

[Marcus Agrippa]

Hey Deguerra,

They're all looking good.
I had the thought of maybe icorporating a saltire due to being Scottish.
I have to say the one you've designed for me is great.
I would be honoured to use it.

Hey, I was wondering If I could get a coat of arms. I was hoping for The coat of arm's of Tarn (down below) with the Lion of Aquitaine on one side and a Axe crossed by a sword on the other. Or something to that effect.....

If you could help that would be great, thanks

Marcus: put the saltire in the slightly less obvious place, but I think it fits better there than behind the flower.

Thanks! Its brilliant! (although could I get a sig sized version? )

Looks great

Thnx

[Vladimir]

So. How does one resize a pic to fit it into a signature?

[deguerra]

one doesn't, I do I usually keep the WIP versions large so people can see the details and then provide a siggy sized one when we're happy.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Wow..

Perhaps you could add all those to your first post and add names under those shields?

Anyway, you've done amazing job!!

[Marcus Agrippa]

Could you post mine in the smaller size please.

[woad&fangs]

Deguerra's last post contains all the shields in small size.

[TinCow]

ok. here we are:

Tincow: five heads makes it possibly a bit busy, but let me know:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

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.

[Marcus Agrippa]

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

[deguerra]

No, Marcus is quite right, there is no way to get individual arms from that big image, it was just for show. You still need to tell me when you're satisfied with a coat of arms and then I'll post the siggy version.

TC, im on it

[deguerra]

TC: that works. I'm still not 100% convinced, I think it looks a bit empty in places now, but what do you think.

[Marcus Agrippa]

Sorry Deguerra I thought that was the finished design.
I have two idea I would like you to try if you would be so kind.
Could you make the saltire white cross blue background.
And please could you incorporate a Feur De Lys somewhere.
Thankyou for your work it's really top quality.

[Beskar]

A quick google gives me this.

hah, perfect already.

[TinCow]

TC: that works. I'm still not 100% convinced, I think it looks a bit empty in places now, but what do you think.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I love it, not too empty at all IMO. I actually prefer a simpler design to some of the split designs showing multiple heritages.

[Cecil XIX]

Yeah, not everyone should have a design as fancy as us Duke's.

[Vladimir]

Actually simpler coats belonged to more important nobles. A complex coat of arms denoted a knight of lesser status.

[deguerra]

will get you your siggy tonight, TC, and work on yours Marcus.

as for simpler and complicated, I think it depends entirely. Here we have Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor:

Owww....could you spoiler it pleasum?

[OverKnight]

It burns! Could you both spoiler it?

I think this is a nice visual representation of the decentralisation of the Empire, PBMs excepted.

Edit: The sad thing is: I've been playing EU 3 so I recognize most of the states represented.

2nd Edit: That's Cordoba isn't it wedged into the bottom?

[deguerra]

whoops. apologies. I spoiler every signature sized one and then leave that

edit: cordoba or granada. yeah same with me. I do love my eu3

[deguerra]

TC: its not that its simple, I like that better as well. But to me it has too many blank spaces No matter, so long as you like it:
