Heraldic creation methodology

Artista03 22 SinoplePlataOroAzur jpg

While writing and illustrating «The book of the coat of arms of the Wolves Sable and the Unicorns Argent», I established the foundation for a work process that has now become my signature methodology in heraldic creation. Recognizing the importance of a methodological approach to consistently produce quality artwork, I continue to refine it with the experience I accumulate.

My methodology can be summarized as a 3-phase process, each containing 3 distinct activities, with the flexibility to revisit any phase for continual improvement.

The diligent execution of these nine activities ensures that the final product meets the expectations of the future bearer of the heraldic coat of arms.

The three phases are as follows:

  • Conception, which encompasses: elicitation and ideation, heraldic research and critique, creation of a preliminary coat of arms sketch.
  • Plastic execution, which includes: layout and tincture application, ornamentation and detailing, lighting effects and final artwork production.
  • Completion and fulfillment, which involves: heraldic editing, final review and artwork delivery, documentation and archival closure.

Pinterest, heraldry and coats of arms

Pinterest, board of heraldry and coats of arms

I introduce my heraldic style and coats of arms in pinterest.com/blasones with the following description: «My style as a heraldic artist is clear, simbolic and methodic. Clear because my work searches pieces which transmit energy and vital force to the owner, I think that a coat of arms should be a source of light and joy and an expression of freedom. Symbolic because coats of arms must be a representation of its bearer, his/her ideals, motivations, history and anything he/she might want to display. Methodical because heraldic art is founded on a science, the so called science of heraldry».
