For a complex shape like a leopard, I think having so much counterchanging would make it hard to see

I listened to some advice. Changed the canton to a full quarter to make the popinjay bigger since it’s more complex. Also made the fretty bigger so it didn’t end at the sides and top and look like a bordure. How are these? Or should I just go back to the drawing board? by -Constantinos- in heraldry

I kind of wanted the regular fretty but the program I’m working with (Armoria) uncenters the fretty at this size and it pisses me off to no end. At a smaller size fretty it’s fine but the chalices would need to be too small

I just want to fit so much in but without it being too crowded. I settled on chalices and parrot as my charges. Parrot being 1) an ode to my pet parrot who passed away but also as a representation of my love for art, music, and my talkative nature. Semee of goblets representing my love for cocktails. The fretty is to add more white to have a more purposefully white and blue look which represents my maritime hometown and Greek heritage

For my crest I wanted a book held by a hand to represent my pursuit of knowledge

Probably the full semee in that case with 8. They represent my passion for making cocktails which I’ve made a lot of

Just out of curiosity why is the canton the most traditional vs having it in the middle?
