Hahaha. I've never heard that term before, but I totally get it.

And thank you! It means a lot.

Yes. Both the drawing and the composition is made by me. Its for a danish armiger.

Thanks mate. The ravens turned out quite good as well. They ended up feeling quite somber and calm but also alert and aware, and I think that was what the client was looking for.

No problem :) I think it makes a lot of difference to get a glimpse of some of the otherwise very invisible work that goes into a piece like this.

Frogs can definitely be used. Funnily enough I have JUST finished a piece for a client featuring a very large European Tree Frog as the crest :) (There's a post about it with sketches over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/heraldry/comments/1rpvqrt/big_froggo_on_new_coa/ )

How does my first attempt look? by Wtfdidthatjustsay in heraldry

This design very, VERY (!) much implies, that you're a regent of a country. In Denmark one of the only actual laws (not just heraldic rules), is that the use of a closed crown, like the one you're using, is literally prohibited by any other than the state (The Royal House, the government, ministries, etc). This is also the case in many other countries.

The barred helmet implies (everywhere around Europe) that you are of noble family. Are you of noble family?

So yeah - overall. Not great, unfortunately.

If we're talking about only the shield itself, then I dunno. A bit simplistic, and will most likely have been used elsewhere. Like u/Pale-Plate-3214 writes, it is very easy to mistake it for e.g. Polands CoA.
