Would you pay for this?

Hello guys,

I’m not sure whether something like this is allowed in this forum. If not, please forgive me and delete or close this thread, but if it is, here it goes.

 

When I needed an emblazonment for my arms, people offered to do them for me, but said they wanted US$40+ for an electronic emblazonment, then I learned that a professionally hand-drawn emblazonment could cost up to US$300+. So I go and just do it myself, but then people some people actually liked my emblazonment, so now I ask: Would you pay let’s say 5-10US$ (or it’s equivalent in whatever currency) for my work?

 

Here’s the only works I’ve done so far, they’re both my arms, the first with a tilting helm as in Norther European heraldry, and the second with a gold-grilled helm as in Iberian heraldry.

I like your work.  But I must admit that I liked it better without the dark embelishment.  You’ve posted some stuff before that I liked more.

Good luck!

I have found that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you often get what you pay for.
