Below are coats of arms I recently completed for two priests. The first is also a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre:

Very nice Father! What type of mediums do you use if you don’t mind my asking?
Well done, as usual, Father Guy. Great work.
Excellent work! :D
Take care,
very nice good father. i am a huge fan of your work.
can you give us some background as to whay these priests wanted these charges? i just tihnk it might be nice to see what they were thinking and how you made it come to life. again very nice.
Fr. Guy,
Nice clean designs. I especially like the second as the cross raguly Or plays nicely with the vert field.
The first design is nice as well; a bit more subdued because of the red/black visual effect—but very well put together.
Regards,
[the other] Guy

These are done in ink.
Very nice and simple arms. May I inquire as to the fonts you used if any, for writing the mottos. And by fonts, I don’t mean just on the computer. I mean that you wrote them in. I guess they would be called in that case type styles?
Cheers,
The first one, "Duc in Altum" is a simple block letter. The second one, "Levate Crucem Sublime" was done by hand with a calligraphy stylus. It isn’t, however, a particular style. It is, rather, something I just sort of made up on my own.
(does that mean I get to name it after myself?)
LOL!
The venerable Guyian typestyle. Or pehaps the Selvestric type? Very nice designs either way! Lemme try my hand at trying to translate the Latin, but be warned, by Latin is horrible!
1st one: Leader in high? Leader above?
2nd one: Raise the sublime cross? The Rosen Sublime Cross?
Hope I came close!
Regards,
"Duc in Altum" = "Put out into the deep"
"Levate Crucem Sublime" = "Lift High the Cross"
Fr. Guy,
Correct me where I err in pronunciation:
"Duc in Altum" duke een altoom
"Levate Crucem Sublime" lay-vah-tay cru-chem soob-lee-may
[the other] Guy
that’s it.
