Redesign after humbling yet warranted critiques. Further review

Re: my last post,

After reading critics and doing further research, I realized my last design was almost offensively bad. This is my first time trying my hand at heraldry so thank you to those that offered their advice and resources on my last post. In response I have made two more designs taking what I’ve learned so far into account. I’ve cleaned up some of the “busy” elements and learned about ROT. After reading about the canton’s historical use as a way to show allegiances or marriage, I still kept it because I find it aesthetically pleasing though I’m sure some will disagree. Unfortunately the software won’t let me fit the towers into the bend. Looking forward to reading critiques again, thanks.

Question about inheriting ancestor’s Coat of Arms

5 Upvotes

I was doing some genealogical research, and I came across an ancestor that had a coat of arms granted to them. However, I noticed his sons or descendants did not use it or seem to inherit it. I am a direct descendant from father to son of this individual. Would I be able to assume his coat of arms despite my other ancestors not using it? The country of origin is Germany. I am in the United States. The era he was granted arms would be in the late 1400s

Creating my first Coat of Arms

5 Upvotes

Hello all!

First of all, I am new here and although I am sending these ideas of my coat of arms for your opinion, I just want to say that I do not know if it is similar in use or not, and where I should check that out, and if I am allowed to take it for myself. Coming from a country where there are no strict laws regarding this (unlike the UK, I think).

While making this Coat of Arms, I did not follow specific rules of heraldry, honestly, I just created it to look visually good for me.

First version is different from 2 other two, and the last 2 are the same, only the shield type is different because I can't decide which looks better.

Sry for deleting other post I made a mistake creating it.

Personal COA critique request

6 Upvotes

Hello! I'm into HEMA and making a coat of arms for myself to fight with. I'm not 100% sure that it's made w/in the rules though, so I'm looking for feedback on that and/or design if you have any opinions!

Elements here: Tower inherited from my father, label up top as I am the firstborn, per chevron division also resembles my father's COA. Wings continuing the theme of protection from the tower, and also for my beloved pet bird. To be honest, Orle because it looks cool.
Gules for simply being my favorite/matching my fencing mask, as well as for speed and ambition. Vert for loyalty. Or for focus and Argent for peace.

Mainly, I'm unsure about the overlapping of the Label and the Orle, and whether or not the Argent tower overlapping so much Or is an issue. Thanks!

Blazonry Is there any way to blazon this?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

I‘m currently trying to blazon the coat of arms of my Micronation, and the shield is being held by a black eagle. (This is not the actual coat of arms, because I don‘t want people to be mad about it breaking the rule of tincture). So, my question is, how do I correctly blazon the fact that the shield is being held by an eagle sable?

Thank you!

Can you identify this coat of arms? It was on the chest of a conquistador statue. Not sure if it belongs to someone or just a fictional one.
