A heraldic shield set at a tilt, rendered in copic markers and ink. The shield uses heraldic symbols and shapes to recreate the "Man." meme, wherein a horse looks out over the ocean seemingly pensively. Instead of a normal helm on top, there's an elaborate horse armor helmet.

Man.

Very amused that this is the only nonhuman helm so far but it was too funny a concept to pass up.

A heraldic crest drawn in ink and copic markers, set at an angle with a white chess piece king's crown set above it. The shield is checkered in black and red, and has two white chess knights facing each other. A motto scroll curls in a circle around and behind the crown, reading FUMUS ANTE IGNIS.

The motto β€œfumus ante ignis” is my tentative Latin translation of β€œsmoke before fire,” the phrase indicating that white starts a game of chess.

A heraldic shield, drawn in ink and copic markers, at a tilt with a helmet set on top. The design on the shield is a cornucopia overflowing with dungeon food: a mimic claw, a giant tentacle, a walking mushroom, a dryad pumpkin, and mandrakes. The shield is a circle with handles, because it's actually a wok. Senshi's horned helmet sits at the top, and his fist holding a ladle is sat above the helm.

#Heraldecember 2025, day 1 prompt - Counterfeit
Can't say if I'll have time, energy or inspiration to do all of the prompts (knowing myself, that's a no), but here's a little something. "Bezants voided" are sometimes refered to as "false roundels". #heraldecember2025

A heraldic shield, tilted at an angle (accouchΓ©) with a helmet placed on the top corner. The shield is red with four gold coins, and a fifth chocolate one underneath, with a bite taken out of it. The helmet is chocolate too, with strips of gold foil draped artfully around it like mantling.

I told my partner I might do coins, with one bitten to test its quality, but they thought I meant chocolate coins. I was like oh wait i like that even better! Then I made the helm chocolate too, with the ripped foil wrapper as mantling.

Emblazonment of the coat of arms of the Isle of Man, featuring the iconic Manx triskelion of armoured legs on a red shield, supported by a peregrine falcon and a raven. Over the shield is the British imperial crown, with the island's motto "Quocunque Jeceris Stabit" (Latin for "Wherever you throw it, it shall stand") written on a scroll underneath.

Digital drawing of an armorial achievement, ie. a shield on which there's a helmet and on it there's mantling and a torse and on the torse there's a walking duck. On the shield there's also a duck and a chief with a squiggly line.

For #InternationalArtistsDay I wanted to share a recent commission, and it felt particularly apt to display this one which is the first to include my own artist mark, which the patron of this piece had encouraged me to develop.
