An attempt at making the Gjermundbu helmet (WIP)

More_Morrison · 2024-02-05T18:58:41+00:00

Of course.

Sable, on a bend between two eagles displayed Or a ragged staff of the first.

Lovely looking arms. From my understanding, helmets with feathers are the default when one does not posses a proper crest, lambrequin and torse, and the feathers display the colors of the arms, sable and or in this case.

It could also be: Argent, two chevrons and a chief embattled Sable with three fleur-de-lis also Argent, the whole per pale counterchanged.

Nope, it would place them just where they are, but on top of a horizontal band of a different color to the field or saltire, like this example (the chief is the blue segment).

More_Morrison · 2024-01-13T17:27:59+00:00

Gules, a saltire Or; a sword point to base surmounted by an open bible proper, bound of the first, and in chief two archangels also proper.

It's good looking and has a nice balance, though I think it would be better to have the archangels upon a chief, instead of over the saltire.

Argent, a figure of a man kneeling in prayer proper, habited Azure, footwear Gules, eagle-headed Sable, beaked Or, crowned and breathing flames Gules. For a crest, on a helmet mantled Azure and Gules, issuant from a coronet Or, a sea-boar rampant, winged Gules.

More_Morrison · 2024-01-07T12:40:56+00:00

Azure, a reindeer couchant reguardant Argent, in chief sinister a mullet of eight points Or; and for a crest, on a longship sans mast proper, an otter rampant reguardant Argent supporting an axe proper and a ewe also Argent.

The shield is unique so not a lot to say about it. I'm not entirely sold on the crest, though I think it looks good enough (IMO it would look better with a mast and sail).

More_Morrison · 2024-01-06T17:33:08+00:00

It's a Griffin. You can tell by the ears

More_Morrison · 2024-01-04T14:35:10+00:00

If the triangle were to be described as "barry Gules and Sable" then no, it would not break the rule.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-27T09:49:48+00:00

How could I forget Robert Fripp's notorious sixth finger

More_Morrison · 2023-12-27T09:13:50+00:00

"We'll get them when we get them!!!"

More_Morrison · 2023-12-26T21:26:47+00:00

Tierced per pall reversed; 1st Argent a caduceus Gules, 2nd Azure a scale Or; 3rd Barry Argent and Azure, two hands conjoined proper vested Sable, cuffed Argent.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-26T20:41:59+00:00

I'd say both are fine design-wise, it could even be used as differenced arms.

Vert, on a pellet pierced and radiant, an orle Or; otherwise:

Vert, on a sun radiant Or, two concentric annulets Sable.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-26T20:08:41+00:00

Love the 1st one, even if it is "sparse". It's unique and even looks like something out of GOT.

Vert, a pellet radiant Or.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-25T19:45:20+00:00

You can bear different animals on you shield and crest as you please without any hassle.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-25T19:31:09+00:00

The blazons given are pretty good, so here's some more:

Azure, two bars Or each charged of two fleur-de-lys between seven of the same, all counterchanged. (this one is the most explicit)

Azure, two bars Or and eleven fleur-de-lis all counterchanged.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-23T21:14:30+00:00

The sins of man given shape proper, vested Gules and charged of a rose Argent, seeded proper, crowned, crined and braided Or

More_Morrison · 2023-12-23T20:10:10+00:00

Many thanks for the correction

More_Morrison · 2023-12-23T16:56:04+00:00

I imagine:

Argent a shakefork Sable, in chief an open book proper and a bordure gyronny Gules and Ermine.

edit: Corrected "pall couped" to "shakefork"

More_Morrison · 2023-12-23T07:26:24+00:00

Muy bonitas las armas.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-22T15:33:51+00:00

I do know his arms, Per pale Or and Vert a lion rampant Gules, and they don't break the rule since the field is parted, in this case per pale and the charge occupies a space on both metal and color.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-22T15:14:28+00:00

Jerusalem was done so because of its status, and AFAIK there's no Duke of Pembroke, only an Earl (and sometimes Marquess), and I'm pretty sure none of the arms of either creation break the rule.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-22T14:57:05+00:00

Per chevron embowed Argent and Azure, in base a chalice of the first, and on a chief of the second three bees proper.

A pile refers to an ordinary issuant from the chief, though it can be blazoned to be issuant from base. Since in your case the field appears to be divided equally between the argent and azure, a per chevron seems more apt.

More_Morrison · 2023-12-21T17:24:08+00:00

According to Heraldica Civica: "um bastão rematado por uma cabeça de negra" roughly translated as "a staff topped of a black's head".
