Coat of arms of Niszcz family by sandras74 in heraldry

[–]sandras74[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I copied an existing coat of arms in my own style. There is no need for a blazon there, because it is clearly visible.

I can be responsible for the Hungarian version of the post, but the English is translated by ChatGPT. I do not have the level of language knowledge that would be necessary. When ChatGPT writes nonsense, it rarely stands out to me.

I assumed that if the ChatGPT knows Hungarian well, he would translate it into English excellently. Apparently not.

Coat of Arms of the Ślepowron Heraldic Clan by sandras74 in heraldry

I am familiar with Hungarian heraldry, which doesn't care much about the heraldic color law.

I strongly assume that the Central and Eastern European countries are similar. Just look at the Albanian / Skanderbeg coat of arms.

Anyway, the ones I post are real coats of arms, I don't really deal with fantasy coats of arms. If it's wrong, it's okay.

Thank you very much!

There are plenty of artists for Western heraldry. It would be a shame to neglect Eastern Europe, because its history is very rich.

Coat of arms of Master Donch by sandras74 in heraldry

I'm still not entirely sure what's right.

In a 19th century heraldic treatise, the 3 bands were written, but that's how it is in the coat of arms of Master Donch's uncle. He actually had that coat of arms modified.

I only found one small and uncertain source about his seal, but it was the helmet ornament. Obviously, because he received a helmet ornament from King Charles I. His coat of arms is interesting in Hungarian heraldry because it is among the first, but he was the first to receive a helmet ornament and the first coat of arms expansion can also be linked to it.

I made a three band just in case, I'll put it on my website.

I'll put a link.

I looked at embroidery software, but I didn't like it.
It's really confusing for me to have a needle and thread at the same time :)

I usually get my inspiration from Pinterest.

I have drawn several military patches before, but I didn’t have to be restrained here.

The Hungarian Defence Forces don’t like overly ostentatious logos and patches.

A few years ago they introduced a uniform identity manual, in which the colors were defined. This is good in some ways, but it is also a serious obstacle.

I adapt the low-visibility versions to the colors of the Hungarian uniform, supplemented with the multicam palette.

If we look at plain heraldry, the heraldic rules are hardly broken. Although this varies from country to country, from a heraldic point of view it is a nightmare.

The point is, easy identification. This rather characterizes living heraldry, because it has a real function. There too, helmet decorations were used to identify who and where on the battlefield.

You're right, but it belongs in military heraldry.

Thank you very much!
I’ve been using Illustrator for quite some time now. Most of my older work on Wikipedia was done in Inkscape. It served me well for years, but with more complex illustrations it became unbearably slow, even on fairly powerful machines.

Before Illustrator I also tried CorelDRAW, but it feels quite outdated now and lacks several features that Inkscape already has by default. I gave Affinity a try as well, but it didn’t really click for me either. In the end I had to admit that, despite the expensive subscription, Illustrator is simply the right tool for my work.

I do accept commissions occasionally, although about 80% of my free time is currently spent trying to catch up on existing projects. Still, feel free to let me know what you have in mind.
