Heraldry Was Pretty Design-trendy A While Back, But Like Most Trends/fads It Was Pretty Shallow. Pretty!
Heraldry was pretty design-trendy a while back, but like most trends/fads it was pretty shallow. Pretty! And shallow. But the worldbuilding nerd in me wanted to make some designs that actually had some research behind them so I could use them for story. Blazon, the hardest part (hard=interesting I'm so predictable bleh), is the most interesting to me since the designs have to be reproduceable reliably through their written descriptions.
Have several of these, using them to learn inkscape. This one is for the United Houses of Applied Thaumantic Radiology (ahem). Described as:
A kite, gyronny of twelve, murrey and tenne with an orle argent; overall a five-toothed cogwheel Or, on a rondel azure.

What are the naming conventions?
Assuming I have them, lol! Honestly I pull names out of my butt. Sometimes I'll put in a little more effort depending on the story (I have one where I made sure at least most of the characters have names that are marginally clever puns) but for the most part I just go with whatever I think of that feels right at the time... D:
I have the WORST art block right now... sigh. But I finally made it to a Dr. Sketchy's to see what the fuss is all about. It was alright though I'd love the chance to go to one with better costumes LOL

questionstar.org & questionstar@deviantart. I like to make art, friends, costumes, trouble, and history this is an art/creativity/rambling blog where I complain about art more often than I actually post it!
