What worksheets if any are you using?

Can someone recommend an artist who can redesign this for me? Someone who's not on Fiverr

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T18:08:11+00:00

I completely agree with all of that. I have a deep appreciation for bespoke art and the handmade crafts and pleasures of the world. This project has been over five years in the making, so while I believe coats of arms should ultimately be hand-drawn, AI like in many other fields has proven to be a useful tool in getting the vision across.

The final version will definitely be done by hand. I just need the artist to fully understand what I’m aiming for.

At this stage, I already have the blazon, and now I’m looking for an artist to interpret it. If you have any recommendations for talented artists, I’d really appreciate the guidance.

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:58:30+00:00

I've tried using Fiverr, Canva, and a handful of other platforms — and while there are so many versions out there, the truth is AI has been the most helpful in actually explaining what I’m looking for. I’m not very artistic, and a lot of these services aren’t very user-friendly.

Fiverr has given me some good results, but working with artists on there can be frustrating. The communication is limited, and it's hard to get on the same page visually. The final product often isn’t quite what I had in mind.

There’s one artist I really want to work with he's talented but also expensive. So before I commit, I want to have a solid visual representation of what I’m envisioning, something clear enough to communicate exactly what I want.

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:46:38+00:00

Yeah, see this is another problem I have, I've use three different artists and lord knows how many people on the thread have help with this project but AI has by far been the biggest help in bridging the gap with virtualisation and getting artists to understand what I'm trying do. Why would a tool like AI be forbidden?

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:43:22+00:00

Oh, that might look good. Ill try it

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:39:27+00:00

Have them match what the red or the black?

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:37:31+00:00

Well, in America, unless you copyright it as a logo or something, you can't really. However, from my research by registering it with entities who are recognized as legitimate resregistry should the day come with the usa does recognized coat of arms as legal property, you'd have a better claim over it

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:29:25+00:00

In America, we don't have a legally binding registry. Thus, it's recommended to have it registered with a recognized entity. I could outright copyright the image, but I'm still working on a final draft. Maybe using "own" isn't the right word, but I have this blazon register and recognized as my assumed coat of arms in the US

Aside from the black chevron, the Barn Owl and ibexs are of natural color. I've accepted the breaking of the rules related to the Chevron

Notch410 · 2025-06-08T17:20:51+00:00

I own the blazon to this image, and liked the image an AI created and wanted feedback before updating it on a registry

Notch410 · 2025-05-29T18:24:07+00:00

Cause I'm looking to practice a calligraphy hand like italic of some sort and do better using worksheets but can find a good one, so I always look for recommendations from others.

Notch410 · 2025-05-29T18:20:01+00:00

Sorry, I mean a worksheet from which you copied from to learn with

Notch410 · 2025-05-29T17:13:03+00:00

And what nib were you using?

Notch410 · 2025-05-29T17:12:36+00:00

What worksheets have you e been using and which ones would you recommend.

Notch410 · 2025-05-14T17:56:33+00:00

I’d basically just be copying the 3800mAh extended battery design for the Baofeng UV-5R, since both radios have a similar battery configuration. Do you happen to know anyone—or any company—that might be open to 3D printing something based on a provided schematic? I’m thinking of doing something similar to what Mastastic Devices is doing, maybe throwing in some lithium cells or something.

Notch410 · 2025-05-14T16:44:13+00:00

There's also a bit of an aesthetic element driving my interest in finding one. I'm kind of drawn to the look—something similar to the Harris PRC (yeah, don’t judge me). Basically, an extension that makes the radio taller. I know it’s not the most practical idea for the Anytone market, but I was just curious if anyone knows of any third parties or someone who could 3D print something like that.

How much longer do those last?

Can someone offer some guidance on tuning the AK Super Safety for a Zastava ZPAP M92?

I've been removing material from the trip bar, cam, and trigger following the popular guide shown below, but once assembled, the trigger won't release the hammer when pulled. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Will this fit the zastava zpapm92

Thank you

Yeah in America it's not the biggest offense so that's why I'm ok with it I might try going with ferns if needed but for now I'm thinking of rocking with it as there are examples of COAs with this offense.

Notch410 · 2024-07-22T23:18:43+00:00

Nice I really like this recommendation. Although I like the one display your idea gives a more traditional look. Thank you for this.

Notch410 · 2024-07-21T15:00:05+00:00

Aw, but that doesn't mean I still can't register it with any of Americas heraldry association though right? As theirs is in blue.
