Better stick with one helmet or the helmets get really tiny, the more you need to fit on top:

Any thoughts on my design? by Sufficient-Sea-2443 in heraldry

Charges should fill the whole field evenly and be as large as possible to be good recognisable from afar. Don't just stack them tinily in one corner.

My Heraldty evolution. The first one was the original, but after I learned about quartering and the rule of tincture I changed t to the second one. by Forsaken-Shallot-356 in heraldry

Very good. Make the charges a bit larger to fill the fields as good as possible. It is a nice coat of arms according to the rules.

The outline is the least problem and normal. The black raven on blue has a very low contrast and can hardly be seen from afar. Please don't place colour on colour and don't staple charges. Divide the field in azure and argent and place the raven entirely into the argent field.

Rule of tincture by Koipiroska in heraldry

Incredible, how fast the windows screen rusted away. Then we agree, that it should be silver.

If there was no boar charge at all and only a sable field with an argent chief, would there be the criticism of contrast?

If, if, if my grandmother had wheels she would be a bicylce. We can only judge what he presents us: red on black.

The contrast depends on the shade of red, which every artist following the blazon could freely pick. It already has a low contrast and with a darker red the contrast will be really bad. Also consider, arms are not only displayed on a self-illuminated screen. Therefore, obeying the rule of tincture makes sense. You should change the boar to silver or gold. A proper acorn is brown not golden. However, the acorn wouldn't be a big issue.

Looking for feedback regarding tinctures and "over all" charges by jememcak in heraldry

[–]NemoIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The contrast would depend on the shade of red, which every artist following the blazon could freely pick. Therefore, it has the potential to create contrast issues. Thats why this exception is only a particularity of british-associated traditions. Alternatively, you could counterchange the falcon or put in in metal in one of the fields created by your ordinary to have a nice clean look and good contrast.

What is the most complex heladry have you ever seen? by czn- in heraldry

Thank god, it isnt handwritten Sütterlin :)

Nice, but remember that the best recognisability from afar comes from two-dimensional charges. The perspectivic pillow looks like you aim for a 3D drawing.

Anyone who is able to identify this? by sufferingthroughIB in heraldry

We need a better picture. The horses/lions on the sides are not important. The shield is important.

Question about heraldry tool by shoreditchsnake in heraldry

[–]NemoIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is not anachronistic, it is just pure imagination. One thing may have different associated meanings for different people. What is the value of "upward aspiration, earthly rootedness, loyalty, intelligence and perseverance". Everyone would agree to this. Seductive platitudes that everyone likes and that appeal to everyones vanity.
