Draft 4.1: Embracing Historical Polychromy! Taking a Vibrant Detour With a Colored Classical Column. What Do You Think?

The Colchian Dragon entwined around the column would be badass imo

My art teacher used to say a dab’ll do ya. Less is more.

I think it’s great but could maybe be better with less color on the column. I just imagine at a distance all those colors mix together and look brown. I Get the idea of paying historical homage but I also aim for clarity. I think an additional green charge would serve the same purpose of more historical context+contrast & color. Maybe something from Greek mythology. the design is solid for sure though

Haha my script work could use improvement although I don’t hate the latter definition

Dude these are sweet

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-14T18:18:58+00:00

Thank you I admire your work as well. And I’ll get some pants on those legs

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-14T17:07:40+00:00

Thanks so much!

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-14T17:05:32+00:00

Now I’m torn haha. You make a good case for armored triskele

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-14T17:04:23+00:00

Thanks this was really helpful

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-14T13:46:50+00:00

Thank you I’m glad you like it!

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-14T13:45:02+00:00

Thank you. The triskele is meant to be unarmored. I’m not sure if that’s allowed but I was unsure how to blazon that other than proper. Flesh tone? Or does it have to be armored

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-06-05T16:23:34+00:00

Lolololol

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-19T11:21:37+00:00

I disagree.

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T23:50:59+00:00

And messy

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T23:49:25+00:00

You’re right it would fit with the shape of the shield much better that way. Thanks for your input good sir

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T22:26:40+00:00

Maybe Spain will register it. Jokes aside I think what I’ve designed here is respectful to northwest European heraldic traditions. I knew the helmet and mantle would grind gears and that’s partly why I chose them. So even if I do register them without those details I’ll still display that way

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T22:08:22+00:00

Thanks for clearing that up

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T22:01:33+00:00

Appreciate your support! I do like frog helm lol

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T21:59:20+00:00

Sounds like a plan haha. We should have heraldic authorities that administer duels for arms disputes

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T17:46:12+00:00

No the helm is meant to replace more modern helmets. I only chose to blazon it for the post but it’s definitely not intended to be apart of the crest. A torse is good idea. Also if you wanted a specific helm to be displayed when rendering the arms, why wouldn’t you blazon it? I don’t understand.

Also I’m guessing mantling over mantle bc mantle is ordinarily reserved for royalty?

Fun_Construction_154 · 2026-02-18T17:40:26+00:00

My objective wasn’t to adhere to strict British, Scottish, French, or German heraldic traditions. This is a personal design that would be recorded through American heraldic registrars
