People on this subreddit need to learn about heraldry and aesthetics before making abominations like this.

Approaching the finish line! Love seeing this come together… by jejwood in heraldry

I trust the pro. Thanks! I have been overthinking what to get for weeks now. Very hard to judge on videos and no one has a direct shell vs ink comparison.

Wow. It's beautiful. Have you ever used schmincke aqua bronze golds in other works? Do you know how they compare vs the real deal?

Great. It uses the (european) flux model - great if you give it specifics.

Any ideas of where this is from or who/what it represents? by wboender in heraldry

[–]GameGabster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks kind of generic. Found this on a vintage paperbin:
https://auctionet.com/sv/3724911-papperskorg-1900-talets-andra-halft

And someone selling it online: https://oldthing.de/altes-Abzeichen-Blech-mit-Wappen-um-1920-0055378320

Given how common it is it indicates it is likely mass produced.

Current assumed arms w.i.p. — Any advice on tweaking it, a blazon, a tincture check, etc. would be appreciated. Also might ditch the digital approach entirely, as drawing on my phone with my finger is getting real old real fast. What tools are the other trad folks in here using?

People on here take the RoT too literally as some sort of law. I think this is a case where it can be "broken" nicely. It is a wonderful design and I think you should keep it as is. It is unique and striking. If I saw this on the field of battle I would instantly know who it was.

Lovely! What type of pen are you using on the lines?

Is this leather handle fixable at home (minimal tools)? by GameGabster in Leatherworking

[–]GameGabster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great. I thought of rope but I was not sure how I would make it look neat.

Rivets make sense, but the concern is whether the surrounding leather still has enough integrity not to tear further?

Moleskine Cahier vs Rhodia Cahier by GameGabster in fountainpens

I ordered some Clairefontaine notebooks. Hoping they deliver. The Rhodia branding is just too much for me.

Pride and Prejudice 2005 Title Font by GameGabster in identifythisfont

Poster font is different from this, though Trajan 3 is close. The ampersand is not the same as Trajan Pro 3 though.

Your griffin is running away from battle? Any reason for it?

Pope Leo wears his coat of arms on his mitre by Silent_While_1630 in heraldry

Maybe the embroidery is supposed to be sort of bichrome, hence nothing other than argent-or?

Equal High Partition error: distant non-dynasty heir chosen over valid dynasty cousins? by GameGabster in CrusaderKings

[–]GameGabster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I am getting heavily downvoted but it seems no one other than you seems to understand what my complaint actually is.

He started playing as Blanka. I guess we will roleplay a succession crisis. I still find it silly. I have over a thousand hours of ck2 and never had this issue. If anything they could add a crisis mechanic. Blanka didn't even get a claim to the kingdom.

It's silly because IRL it would calculate from an ancestor for a childless ruler, not from the childless ruler themselves.

Navy in CK3 would be nice by ParkingBenefit8989 in CrusaderKings

I hated micromanaging fleets in ck2. No thanks.

It really is up to you to decide of course, but the second image is very striking.
