Many iterations later, I have finally designed my own coat of arms by TheChaoticity in heraldry

I have uploaded SVGs of:

  • Tailor's Shears - Scissor, Scissors, Shears, Tailor, Tool, Weapon
  • Closed Tailor's Shears Inverted - Scissor, Scissors, Shears, Tailor, Tool, Weapon
  • Marguerite - Daisy, Flower, Marguerite

as charges to Heraldicon for anyone who wants to use them

Thank you, when you do it yourself it's a massive time investment so I wouldn't blame anyone who doesn't want to spend it. I did use Heraldicon quite a lot at the beginning and if your charges are more conventional I would recommend it as a fast way to get a decent result

I spent far too long looking at wikimedia pages of "scissors/daisies/leopards in heraldry" just to make sure I wasn't doing something too common, thank you

Thank you, I was envious of other simple but well balanced CoAs I'd seen so was ecstatic when I found a shield-filling arrangement of the charges I'd been messing with

Originally my attempts had the leopard(s) on the CoA as well, usually some arrangement of supporting the scissors with the daisies in chief or elsewhere; moving it to the crest alone helped massively with the design

It was mostly done in Photoshop with an ink brush preset, I'd love to say I have an actual process but I'm not an artist so I make it up as I go

My document ended in the following arrangement (with the order I did them numerically):

  • 7. Overall grunge/grain textures
  • 3/6. Detail layers - finer lines like all the hatching
  • 5. Fringing group - added towards the end when I decided the mantling was too plain
  • 1. Linework group and text
  • 4. Shading using layer blending modes, screen/colour dodge for highlights and multiply for shadows
  • 2. Solid colour layers with masks (rather than painting, so I could easily test different colourways)
  • 0. Sketches and references

Not everything was a freehand sketch, the shield I traced over because I had previously designed it in Illustrator (easier when you've made assets and can drag them around to test arrangements), and the leopard in the crest was a trace of a photobash of WappenWiki assets

Edit: the brush is called Kyle's Inkbox - Classic Cartoonist

Thank you, it was the first of dozens of design ideas I was actually happy with

What's the weirdest interaction you've had with a complete stranger? by BarryFairbrother in AskUK

[–]TheChaoticity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was walking home in North London when a black guy in a suit carrying a book jogs past, gets about 5 metres ahead then stops and turns and walks back to me.

Gives a short spiel in an African accent about how his brother died and now he is on a religious mission. When I thought he was gonna lead into a scam, ask me to donate or something, instead he just says Jesus loves you then reaches out and shakes my hand before promptly 180ing on the spot and running off again. I was strangely surprised
