And yes, I kidnapped the bear, made the pillar Corinthian style and opened the book. Lock me up, why don't you?

Adapted from a wonderful design drawn by the great heraldry master-artist, Dan Escott.

He's becoming a prominent person - he got interviewed and now others start making his coat of arms.

I saw the interview yesterday. Although I did the CoA just because of the great design.

Well yeah, but because of you I'm damned to change the crest of my arms...
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, really? Why is that?
π: 0 β©: 1
You see, my crest had a demi-panther or with an opened book, just like the bear in your version. I designed it before Fenn uploaded his first arms, but his book was closed anyway. And now you uploaded it with an opened book while I still haven't uploaded mine. And now I'd feel like a copycat if I uploaded mine...

Oh, my... I feel terrible.Β
Might I give you some alternatives, if you don't mind? You could have an opened scroll instead of the book. Or you could make the book opened but not pointing forward, but upward...
I am curious about your whole Achievement design though. Looking forward for it.

It will probably take a lot of time though, since I still have to improve my skills with inkscape etc, and I want it to look really good when I upload it.
Thanks for the tips, I may use the idea with the scroll!

Well, you could divulge the design until then 
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course I could. It's nothing fancy, the crest has more detail than the actual escutcheon.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well then, let's hear about the design...
π: 0 β©: 1
Let's see, I'm pretty bad at English blazoning... I'llΒ use your blazon for Fenn's arms as a base.
Gules, a panther rampant double-queued or armed vert. Mantling gules doulbed or. For a crest, a wreath of the colours gules and or, a demi-panther rampant double-queued or armed vert, holding in his claws a scroll.
And here I just realized I have a problem. The scroll should be argent, but then it would be argent on or, which breaks the rule of tincture...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the scroll is just in the Crest, so you don't have a metal-on-metal rule there.Β
I guess the Panther is not reguardant, is it? Also, I believe the fire that emerges from its mouth is also Or.Β

I didn't know the term for the emerging fire. Thank you. ^^ And yes, it's true. The fire is Or and he's not reguardant.
You see, I may be a big fan of heraldry, but I have much to learn.

We all do... trust me. Oh, I forgot, the proper heraldic Panther has spots of different colours on it (red, blue, purple, green). Does yours have 'em?Β

Not in German Heraldry. I can show you someΒ good examplses of a German panther:

That is true, yes... And might I add that the German Panther looks more like an ox.
I must prepare now to make an awesome raven Crest... *rolls eyes*
π: 0 β©: 1
Like an ox? I wouldn't say so... If you're refering to it, that one example on Wikipedia is put together from many charges. Among them an ox, I'd say, judging from the head.
What's the problem if the crest is awesome?
π: 0 β©: 1
I hate ravens and wolves...
π: 0 β©: 1
Shocking! I love those animals...
π: 0 β©: 1
Most of my requests are with these animals... -.-

Hmmm, not lock you up abut an 'Murican might sue you
Wonderful as always

LOL, thank Xenu this bearer is Finnish.Β

What would another nationality mean?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I meant that he's not 'Murican so he won't sue.
π: 0 β©: 1
Uhuh

I must admit this idea for a CoA is awesome.

Give him the medal of awesomeness ^^

Well, I'm glad you like it!
I just couldn't help myself. The design was really witty, and everything very well balanced.Β
