Sun

Motto: Stand and Be Counted

Gules fretty Argent; on a chief wavy Bleu celeste, a rising sun Or.

Escudo de gules fretado de plata; en un jefe ondado de celeste, un sol saliente de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted and emblazoned by me with with a semi-circular ended shape, illuminated, and with a iridescent finishing.

The sun used to be emblazoned with a human face, with its eyes, mouth, and nose, but in all the interpretations that I know of this blazon, the sun appears without a human face.

Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or. Crest: upon a wreath Argent and Azure, a sun Or issuant from clouds Argent, debruised by a demi-stag proper, attired Or. Motto: «In Honorem Dei».

Arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a freehand finish.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The English term «debruised» is written in Castilian as «resaltado»; I usually write it as «debruised by» ~ «resaltado de», where the charge below is debruised by the one above. It is analogous to «charged by» ~ «cargado de», except that the upper charge projects beyond the surface of the lower one; in this case, parts of the stag project beyond the surface of the sun and the clouds. In English, «stag» corresponds to the Castilian «ciervo», although «deer» is occasionally found instead. When a stag's antlers are of a different tincture from its body, the English term is «attired»; in Castilian I prefer «ramado» to «arcornado». When the animal issues from the wreath, rather than standing upon it, I write «demi» in English and «saliente» in Castilian; «demi» is reminiscent of the Castilian prefix «semi». When the animal is «demi», the animal's default attitude is «rampant» ~ «rampante» unless otherwise specified.

The coat of arms of family of Lucas Cruz (UK, Puerto Rico, Belarus, US Army) designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. This photograph shows my hand-drawn lynx couchant alongside the coat of arms in which it is used as a crest. The lynx couchant was drawn directly in ink on tracing paper using a fine technical pen and long, continuous strokes, without any preliminary pencil sketch, repeating the design as many times as necessary until the desired result was achieved. The image shows an initial tracing on tracing paper with a second, more refined tracing superimposed over it; this version was later refined a third time digitally, as can be seen in the final rendering of the coat of arms.

Heraldic standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri emblazoned by me. Structure: his coat of arms; his heraldic badge; the 1^st line of his motto «Incipit Vita»; his crest; the 2^nd line of his motto «Nova»; and his badge. I usually do not blazon standards; I only describe their structure, since the coat of arms, the badge, and the crest they normally bear are already known as those of the armiger. However, in this case I have blazoned the standard with details from the hoist to the fly. The hoist is the part attached to the mast, and the fly is the part that waves freely and in this case ends in a swallow-tail, although this is an artistic detail I have not blazoned. For the specification of this blazon I use brackets for each of the parts, for example, the blazon of the arms, the blazon of the badge, or the blazon of the crest. In this case I have repeated the blazon of the second occurrence of the badge, but I could have avoided it by referring back to the first. It is unusual to find such a detailed specification of a standard. This standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri, emblazoned by me, is registered and published in The International Register of Arms, 13th August 2026, registration number 0812, volume 5, armorialregister.com/arms-br/nastri-mv-arms.html.
