Joshua, you are definitely developing your art!  Given part of my personality requires that I’m a critic of those that can achieve what I cannot - have you considered enlarging the crest a bit to be more in line with the size of the helm?  The Eagle looks just a little small to me.

I was concerned that with the cross already being large, that it would mess it up, though I agree the eagle could afford to be larger.  I definitely can try it though, and thanks for the suggestion.  I’ll post it with a larger crest when I get home from work this evening.

Oh wow Josh!  That is fantastic!  I love this new style that you’re working on.  I do agree with Kathy though that the eagle could be a little larger.  However, I love the way the mantling looks and love how you incorporated the motto.  I can’t wait to see more!

It was my first impression too ,that the eagle in the crest is a bit too small in comparison with the rest .The whole design has this 3-D appealing look that I like and only if it was up to me I’d opt for less spiky mantling .

Good to see you Josh mastering your skills smile

I would say much better ...it almost got classic proportions of the Gothic coat of arms smile

Yep, You have it - and I like the sharp mantling, it’s becoming something recognizeable as yours…

The proportions look better with the larger eagle.

Agreed. So, do this mean you win the $50 David was offering?
