Mostly… Obviously there are a few things missing, and some things to clean up, but the bulk is complete!

Edit - adjusted the angle of the arms and moved the mantling some

It looks good! There are a few inexpensive (or free in some cases) clip art sets you can download if you want to clean the mantling up some… or even commission Mr Swanson over at http://usheraldicregistry.com/ he does good work, as as heraldic design goes, he is very reasonable.

Everett - yup, a professional rendering is in order, as is registration of course. And thanks, but you helped.

only one coment (it is a nice picture) the mantling should be starting at the 1st twist of the wreath not from the 3rd one as in this picture. just a small bit of visible mantling will do smile

Done, and now the mantling needs work more than ever.

loaba, your artwork is extraordinary, and your avatar is simply beautiful!  How did you create them?

Yup, I like it too and if it were up to me it would stay. But per some Aurellio, it’s not quite keeping in a Spanish tradition, so I need to figure out how rectify that. One thing I know, I’m not a fan of the "geranium" style mantling. :wookie:
