Keep developing your style and double the size of the "canvas", and I for one would gladly pay you for an emblazonment of my arms.


Me, too. Keep at it.

that is even better than the previous one, which was good. i like this one a lot. i especially like the shield and the crest. my only comment would be maybe make the helm a little bigger next time, but even that is a minor thing IMO. this is a very nice work and again i think of wonderful Germanic emblazons when i see your arms. just very nice Alexander.

after re-reading my previous post i do not want anyone to think i don’t see de Bruin in your work…only that i see other Germanic artists more so.

i havent had the opportunity to create a large scale coloured one yet.  this one is only slightly larger than those of my grandfathers.  and when im sketching out arms, they tend to be small anyways tongue laugh

Again, I am reminded of both the medieval and the modern.  You have a wonderful style.  Beautiful.
