Photograph of the a small-sized Giclée proof for the coat of arms of family of Lucas Cruz (UK, Puerto Rico, Belarus, US Army) designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. I usually employ the Giclée printing technique on Hahnemühle paper, produced by the paper mill founded in 1584 in southern Lower Saxony. This paper is made from 100% cotton, weighs 280 g/m², and is manufactured using natural fibres and tones. These reduced-size proofs are printed to verify the fitting of the armorial achievement on the sheet, to check the registration marks that frame it, and to assess the rendering and balance of the heraldic tinctures before producing the final print.

The genealogical chart with the coats of arms of the House of Potts of Wentworth, all designed by Randy David Lee Xavier Potts and emblazoned by me. The House of Potts of Wentworth are Randy David Lee Xavier Potts, Kimberley Ann Potts, Britania Anastoshia Korÿn McCoy, Köryn Alexandria Konstånz Potts, Konstånz Chantal Leóné Potts, Tiana Rose Lee Potts, Makayla Danée Robidoux, Corey Scott Lasco, Sebastian Artemis Cole McCoy, Evander Graham Wylder McCoy, Bradlee Tatym LaRue Botkin, Rhettlee Cooper Jones, Easton Michael Jones, Hudson Hayes Lasco, and Ryker Scott Lasco. The composition of this entire family set of coats of arms follows an assumed American heraldic practice rather than a strictly British or Scottish legal model. Kimberly is a heraldic heiress, and her daughter Tiana quarters both parents' arms, Randy and Kimberly, accordingly. Randy's other son, Britania, and his two daughters, Korÿn and Konstänz, as well as his grandchildren, use Randy's arms, each with their own marks of difference. Kimberly's other daughter, Makayla, her son Corey, and their descendants are not presented as inheriting arms by right under British rules, but rather by family courtesy and internal consistency within the assumed system used by this family; that is, they bear Randy's arms quartered with Kimberly's arms, each again with their own marks of difference. In the United States of America, where arms are commonly assumed, as in Castilian heraldic tradition, rather than formally granted, such arrangements are a matter of family tradition, agreement, and personal decision, rather than enforceable heraldic law. The overall composition of the arms of this extended family is a clear and good example of this approach. It should be noted that the English expression «assumption of arms» does not translate well into Castilian as «asunción de armas», but rather as «adopción de armas», «adoption of arms» a much more accurate and meaningful term. The concept of adoption conveys incorporation into a family: we adopt fundamental bonds, such as a child; deeply personal relationships, such as a companion animal; and also highly symbolic and identity-defining elements, such as a coat of arms.

Coat of arms of Tomasz Arkadiusz Grzeszkowiak designed by Tomasz Steifer and interpreted by me using dots and lines, this method is called hatching, it was useful for black and white illustrations. For the hatching I follow Silvester Petra Sancta (1634 without the purple and 1638 with the purple) and Marcus Vulson de la Colombière (1639): metals) Or = dots, and Argent = pure white; colors) Gules = vertical lines, Vert = diagonal lines bendwise, and Sable = squares. For the historical definition of this type of hatching techniques, see [Petra Sancta, S.; 1634; pages 313–314].

Kimon Andreou edits, from November 2008 to July 2015, his interesting idtg.org on heraldry, genealogy, history and other related topics.

The name and domain of this blog idtg.org are the acronyms of Kimon Andreou's own Greek motto which says:

• «Ischys Dia Tis Gnoseos»,
• in Greek «ΙΣΧΥΣ ΔΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΓΝΩΣΕΩΣ»,
• which could be translated into Castilian as «el poder del conocimiento».

This motto has led him to seek knowledge since he was young and he offers it to us with his enjoyable posts about biographies, books on heraldry, coats of arms that generate controversy, on how to design your own coat of arms (gentilitian), heraldic artists, nobility, orders of chivalry and merit, orthodox orders and many other topics that I recommend.

Coat of arms of Juan Lanzagorta Aras designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and emblazoned by me. In the case of bendy fields like these, it is not immediately clear whether they should be blazoned as bendy Azure and Or and bendy Azure and Argent, or rather as bendy Or and Azure and bendy Argent and Azure. I have followed the criterion of starting to list the tinctures from the dexter chief of each quarter, and for that reason I blazon them as bendy, in this case wavy bendy, Azure and Or and wavy bendy Azure and Argent, since in both quarters it is Azure that begins at the dexter chief.

Design rationale

This design combines elements and tinctures from the arms of his lineages: Luttrell, Anglo-Irish, and Nelson from Ireland, along with personal details. The bend, martlets, Or, and Sable are from Luttrell. The fleurs de lis Argent, Sable, and per pale Argent and Sable are from Nelson. As personal elements, the layout includes the letter N from his surname, and the color Gules.

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, in English, Nordic Heraldry Society, was founded on February 27, 1969, at the National Archives in Oslo, with the aim of promoting the study and knowledge of heraldry through meetings, lectures, excursions, and other dissemination methods, and additionally, to become an advisory body to resolve issues in matters of heraldry, flags, personal coats of arms, etc. Its first president was Dr. Philos Herman L. Løvenskiold.

Since then, these have remained the objectives of the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and its membership count has remained between 150 and 200 members, and it cooperates with the Nordic Heraldry Society, «Societas Heraldica Scandinavica».

The website's address is Heraldikk.no, its content is available in both Norwegian and English, and they work systematically to expand it and provide greater and better information to both its members and those interested in heraldry.

Blazon

Alex Maxwell Findlater described it in English, including its crest, in an article that was on their previous website under the title «About the society», as follows: «Gules issuant from base two battle-axes addorsed Argent shafted Or overall at the nombril point an escutcheon Or; for Crest between two axes of the arms a panache of three peacock feathers proper; Mantling Gules doubled Or». But given that «shafted» applies to weapons with a shaft and «hafted» to weapons with a handle, in the case of axes, I use «hafted» although both terms correspond to the Spanish «fustado».

Note how the axes are described as battle-axes, just as in the blazon of the Norwegian coat of arms, where its lion holds a battle-axe.

Coat of arms I attempted to interpret in the Norwegian style, all in flat tinctures, without Sable outlines, lighting or shading, and only with a simple rough finish.

My heraldic Pixiv wall is Dr.A.Salmeron @antoniosheraldry and pixiv.me/antoniosheraldry.

Pixiv is a Japanese online community for artists. I post in Pixiv 2 or 3 coats of arms per week. They use a strict form to post with many mandatory input fields. This week, they have added a new mandatory field «AI-generated work: Yes / No», AI ~ Artificial Intelligence. In the image, I have highlighted this new field in red.

My animation of the coat of arms of Juan Lanzagorta reached position 33 in Pixiv’s daily Ugoira animation ranking. I am very happy about this, as it is not easy to achieve.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a vesica piscis outer contour and with a leather finishing.

This is the traditional coat of arms of the Royal Abahinda Clan of the Ankore Kingdom (1478), Uganda, renewed by them under the supervision of Crowned Prince Tugume Salim, and emblazoned by me. The motto over the coat of arms, «Oruganda Rw'Abahinda», means "Clan of Abahinda", and the motto below, «Abazira Nkyende», states that their totemic animal is the monkey. This coat of arms was renewed by the Clan under the supervision of Crowned Prince Tugume Salim, and I have had the honour of refining and rendering its design. Harmonising the European rules of heraldry with African expressiveness is no easy task, yet it can yield great results.

Quarterly Azure and Gules; overall a leopard face, crowned Or, langued Gules, within a tressure flory Or. Motto: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

Escudo cuartelado de azur y gules; brochante sobre el todo, una cabeza de leopardo coronada de oro, lampasada de gules, dentro de un trechor flordelisado de oro. Lema: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

Coat of arms interpreted with: a pointed base; its quarters enamelled in plain Azure and Gules; its tressure flory and the leopard face illuminated in Or and Gules; the motto is illuminated in Gules on an Argent scroll lined Azure; and all outlined in Sable and with a parchment finish.

Tressure and orle

The tressure, according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 242 and 243], «es una especie de Orla estrecha, ó un filete puesto en la misma situación de la Orla», regarding its dimensions in relation to those of the orle it states that «es de la mitad de su anchura, correspondiente á la quarta parte de la latitud de la Bordura, y la vigésimaquarta del Escudo», further clarifying that of these pieces called tressures there are «simples, y dobles, algunas veces floronadas, otras contrafloronadas, y también flordelisadas.», the last of which is the case of the present coat of arms.

Since the tressure is a piece of half the width of the orle it can be considered a diminutive piece, and that is how it is read in many texts; however, the «piezas fundamentales de la heráldica son», according to [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 144], «aspa, banda, barra, bordura, cabrio, campaña, cantón, cruz, escusón, faja, franco cuartel, jefe, jirón, lambel, orla, palo, perla, pila, pira y trechor» and, accordingly, in his synoptic table [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; pages 150-151] includes the tressure within the category of fundamental pieces.

Leopard face and lion face

One of the fundamental differences in heraldry between leopards and lions is that the former «tienen siempre la cabeza de frente, mostrando los dos ojos» and the latter «son siempre de perfil, y no descubren sino uno solo», [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 330]. It is for this reason that, as against the English blazon which reads «a Lion face» ~ «una cara de león», in Castilian I write «una cabeza de leopardo».

Motto

The motto «Entalente a parler d'armes» bearing in mind that in French «entalente», in the context of battle, means «hábil y valiente», could be translated as «Valientes y con talento para hablar de armas», my shorter and freer translation would be «¡Hablemos de armas!» with exclamation marks to show that the one who says it is eager to do so. Regarding the translation of «entalente» the following article by Auguste Vachon, Outaouais Herald Emeritus, is of interest: Entalenté à parler d'armes. Additionally, it should be noted that today it would be written as «Entalente à parler d'armes» with a grave accent.

The official blazon of this coat of arms is «Quarterly Azure and Gules a lion’s face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a tressure flory on the outer edge of the same». The following are my comments to the official blazon:

• With «crowned» can be assumed the common default «crowned with an ancient crown».
• With «tressure flory» can be assumed the common default «tressure flory on the outer edge».
• I use to specify the «langued», for example Gules or Azure, because I think there is not a common default tincture for «langued» in all heraldic traditions.
• The use of «overall» can help to understand the blazon, then I add it.
