a piece of white card with a black shield draw on it. there are 4 golden straws draw vertically on the shield, the third of which is shorter than the rest. The straws bear an uncanny resemblance to french fries.

#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry
a very small drawing today, on theright is a white shield with a dark brown swirl and little brown spots. I'll be honest, I was originally trying to paint a piece of curled up cinnamon bark with cinnamon 'dust' around it but it ended up looking like a cinnamon bun. Later in the day I had cause to remember Mike Parry's disastrous attempt to eat a spoonful of cinnamon, and recreated this as a crest on the left, It's an overconfident man with glasses and a beard spewing out a cloud of ground cinnamon. This was inspired by the 'breath of God' type floating crests where a pair of lips blow wind from a cloud 🌬️. You can watch the original nonsense here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqmhuYtldd0

Too good for this world, too pure

#heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic coat of arms rendered in ink and copic marker. The reddish-brown shield is at a tilt, and has a rounded top with a long pointed taper. Emblazoned on it is a triskelion (triple spiral) in reddish brown on tan, looking like three pull-apart cinnamon rolls, complete with drizzles of glaze drawn overtop. A white helmet sits atop the shield, it has a pointed face with just a slit to see through. It is mantled with curls that look like cinnamon sticks and a white and dark brown torse wrapped around the top of its head. Around the helm curls a scroll that reads "TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD, TOO PURE."

#Heraldecember2025 4 | Passing

A relay-racing themed coat of arms, because why not? Gave our proud runner a headband reminiscent of the torse of a helm. Had this finished on time but had no scanning time til today, aaa

#heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic coat of arms with a relay-racing theme, illustrated in ink and copic markers. The shield is at a tilt, with four orange stripes with white borders resembling running track lanes laid out top to bottom. Two hands are pictured on the shield, one dark skinned, ready to underhand-catch the baton the other, lighter toned hand is passing over. Both hands wear bright blue armbands. Set above the shield, instead of a traditional helm, is the head of an athlete with a determined expression, her brown hair in a ponytail and wearing a blue and white striped sweatband. Her skin is the same tone as the hand holding the baton. The head is cropped at the neck by the gold medal on a ribbon she's wearing.

An albatross for the long migrations they complete. When I looked up references, I found myself on Wisdom the Laysan albatross' wikipedia page. Since that species nests in Hawai'i, I drew a Mahiole for the helm.

#heraldry #heraldecember
A coat of arms rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is drawn at a tilt, with an orange, yellow, and black Hawaiian mahiole (feathered helmet) set on the top corner. It has a skullcap with a swooping crest on four stilts rising from the center line. The shield depicts an albatross in flight against a sky blue field, above heraldic-stylized undulating waves in blue and white.

The distaff, spindle, measuring rod, and shears of the Moirai, or Fates, of Greek mythology. Wanted to use a Greek shield but didn't want a round one, so I went with a Mycenaean figure 8 shield, and a boar tusk helmet to match.

#heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic coat of arms rendered in ink and copic marker. The shield is oval-shaped, with oval cuts into the sides. It has a gold band along the rounded edges, and is split in half down the middle, one side red and the other side blue. A distaff and measuring stick are crossed saltire at the top half, with a drop-spindle between them. A thread winds from the distaff to the spindle, and then becomes the center line of the shield. A pair of shears sit horizontally on the bottom half, one blade over the center line, threatening to cut. The shield is set at a tilt. At the top of the shield sits a Mycenaean helmet, with face guard and top covered in close-set slices of boar tusk. A jaunty horsehair tail issues from the top of the helmet.
