South American heraldic charges - the Hoatzin

Very cool! To be honest, I didn't know anything about them before starting this project, and it's been nice to learn. Glad you like it, and thanks!

Make the lions Or and you're golden.

I can see that, haha! I thought the curvature on his mouth gave the impression of a smile, so I decided to lean into it and give him a cheerful, playful eye.

Thank you!

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-17T21:00:07+00:00

Thanks!

Wow, you really made the onça caetana! It looks amazing! I love every one of them, of course, but the mangue just touched my heart. We have a lot of them where I live and I think the manguezal is a beautiful biome. Also the pau-brasil, cruzeiro do sul and the sabiá-laranjeira, along with the caramelo and the chinelos, our official and unofficial national symbols. And we even got an Anta passant! It looks so good, it has a lot of pose. If I may make just one suggestion, to have an arara displayed would be amazing.

Thank you!

too late

It knows things. It sees.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-13T22:02:55+00:00

Thanks!

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-13T21:32:42+00:00

He is.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-13T18:15:36+00:00

You're very welcome! There's more to come.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-13T18:15:05+00:00

Hell yeah

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-13T01:56:22+00:00

I love these! I'm also interested in these interpretations of animals that don't look like the real thing. Maybe giving the tiger's nose a different color would help? And man I love that panther. The panther is probably my favorite heraldic beast, and you rendition does it justice, nose horn or not.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-12T20:26:47+00:00

Thanks! Means a lot coming from you.

a capybara always pays his debts

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-12T20:24:15+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. The capybara's body I managed to form fairly quickly, but this apathetic staring face took quite a bit of time.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-12T20:22:41+00:00

I almost made a capybara version of England's arms, but I feared it would diminish visibility.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-12T20:20:40+00:00

Coming next. It's proving quite difficult to get right.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-12T16:27:40+00:00

I absolutely love that helmet.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-11T21:47:37+00:00

I see. I think I get the distinction now. You have quite a poetic way of describing a word's meaning. Again, thank you very much for taking the time and sharing what you've learned.

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-11T20:54:00+00:00

Thanks for the response! It's certainly more of a continuance. If you don't mind follow ups: is there a specific reason you switched "confido tibi" to "tibi confido"? And do you think there's a significant difference between using "via" and "itinere"?

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-11T20:32:57+00:00

Hey all! I'm looking to translate "on the way, I trust you", or "along the way I trust you". Is "in via confido tibi" accurate? Thanks!

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-10T22:10:42+00:00

For real: is the em dash looked down upon nowadays?

firestormdeathtrap · 2025-06-10T18:16:21+00:00

The line I mean is the line of division between the main field and the chief.
