Because more people need heraldic icons...

[cormac]

I'm feeling silly, creative and generous. The first five SCA-types with registered armory who respond to this post with their blazon get three LJ icons: their device, their device with elements rendered in 3-D, and their device with some sort of animation (the last depending on whether I'm inspired by the armory, and have the capability to do what it is I'm inspired to do).

Okay, I have to play. *g*
Argent, a water bouget sable and a point pointed azure.. (For what it's worth, I usually depict it on a lozenge *points at icon*, but have fun. That icon's from an old CorelDraw rendering. LOL)

[ermine-rat.livejournal.com]

I'd like a better one than the one I have...

[the-celestia.livejournal.com]

Gules, a Felze (they may have called it a Gondola Prow, but it is a Felze...Gondola Prow is incorrect) Or.
I sent you (at your email) artwork a while back, did it not get there?

(Don't worry about animation...I've taken the people with animated icons off my friends list, the animations break my computer...I'm on dialup on a Pentium II)

Thanks, t_C

And you are creative and generous. As well as at times, silly.
Speaking of which, might you be at DunOr on the 13th?
I have an idea to throw at you regarding some Yule sillyness.

Vert, a rat rampant ermine, a bordure dovetailed argent.
My rentitions have always made the rat look more skinney and mean.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

3-D:

And because I couldn't come up with a decent animation within my capability, here's two more (a different rat, and a cropped image of your device from your knighting scroll (upon which I based the first two):



trying a new server, so we'll see how it goes.

Damn! I missed out!
But, if you get bored mine's kind of fun to animate... I once did it with exploding skulls...

Argent, a cross Gules overall on a bend Sable three skulls palewise Argent.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Haven't missed out. You're number 4! I'll get to work on it...

[fitzjames.livejournal.com]

Hey I would love to have my badge done... Animated would be really cool also... (Fieldless) A sword inverted argent surmounted by a rose proper

[shaunacarrick.livejournal.com]

Well, not sure on the animation possibilities of mine, but if you want to play with it, go ahead. The blazon is LONG due to the augmentation - HL Athenais did the artwork that you see in my icon, and that is the registered artwork as is.

[hagerson.livejournal.com]

Damn, I really did miss out :(

But I don't know that you could animate Per Pale, Gules and Or, A Pheon Counterchanged, in any way :)

[patgund.livejournal.com]

Darn, missed it

[patgund.livejournal.com]

(Oh, and Sable, a chevron Argent, three cat's paws Or)

[ermine-rat.livejournal.com]

ooo WOW!
Thanks!

[lady_songsmith]

*is mildly amused by the number of people replying to this who already have heraldic icons* I think you chose a poor intervention point -- your output is not creating the desired outcome.

... sorry, policy on the brain again. *returns to studying*

[digital-panther.livejournal.com]

if I may ask what 3d prog are you using?

[cormac.livejournal.com]

I'm using the bevel and emboss and drop shadow features of Photoshop.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Martin,

Here you go!

I'm quite proud of this one. :)

[cormac.livejournal.com]

[cormac.livejournal.com]

[cormac.livejournal.com]

It's a small bit of animation, but I like it.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

And you're right. There's not much in the way of animation one can do. However, with your colors, I couldn't help but come up with a seizure-inducing image.

Use it in good health!

[fitzjames.livejournal.com]

Very Cool! I think I am going to use this often. See you at War.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Glad you like it. :)

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. Use them in good health.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Well, here's a consolation prize, at least.

[patgund.livejournal.com]

Coolness, thank you!

[penumbren]

Oooh. I like the drippy, especially. :) Thankee sai!

[penumbren]

I'm still awfully proud of how that came out, too, considering that it started with a scan of the paperwork.

[penumbren]

I should've had you animate my badge... (Fieldless) A staple sable. Somehow, I imagine it spinning.... *g*

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Can you send me the original scan of the artwork? I can't find a raven volant I'm entirely happy with.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

We have very different ideas of animation for staples, it seems. :)




If you don't get it, let me know.

[penumbren]

I'm not entirely happy with that one, and I drew it. *g*

[penumbren]

*blink* Colour me clueless... of course, it may just be the day-long headache.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Poor thing. Feel better soon. I turned your staple into the Hebrew word for life. Chai, as in l'Chaim!

WOW, THANK YOU!!!

[the-celestia.livejournal.com]

This is great. I've not had anything that depicted the entire device since I submitted it. Thank you so much!

t_C

[penumbren]

Aww. Cool. Thanks. :)

I need to login to LJ more often... :)

[jdriddle.livejournal.com]

This is Tighearnan.

Do you provide this service for a fee normally? The only digital rendering of my device if from the original artwork, isn't particularly appropriate for an LJ icon, and I'm not quite sure which digital hell it ended up in.

Re: I need to login to LJ more often... :)

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Nah.
I do this for fun.
Besides, I wouldn't know what to charge.

Re: I need to login to LJ more often... :)

[jdriddle.livejournal.com]

If you're interested, I may have some graphic design work for you... for web projects...

I'm have no idea what your current employment situation is.

Re: I need to login to LJ more often... :)

[cormac.livejournal.com]

I'm gainfully employed, but could always use some extra money.

[cormac.livejournal.com]

Sorry I missed you at Dun Or. I'll be at Coronation/QC, though, and if you'll be there I'll meet you there.
