Well that's why I couldn't find a word for it. o

I must say your griffin is much better than that other one.

 

[Birger]

Thanks guys.

Two new familymembers, I wasn't happy with the previous lion and "leopard".

...

I guess it's shieldmaking time now.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Wooho! I guess a Normandy one would be easy to make, pleeeeease..?

 

[Birger]

Not that difficult...

Normandy would look like this:

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Thank you!

Is it possible to do a shield for the kingdom of Alba?

(I know that I'm not the only one who wants sources made for some nation. :rofl: )

 

[Birger]

Not that easy, I can give you Scotland instead.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Thank you very much! You think this shield could be used for the Kingdom of Alba?

Oh, and a last request, though not for me. The arms of King Stephen for mandead!

 

[cool-toxic]

So Birger any news ? We are looking forward to this.

Yes!

And to go with the source images, could you please finish and release the wonderful templates (proposed in AGCEEP subforum)?

And this one as an option too. EU2 community could be very grateful!

Yes! I'd love to see how he does though.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Yes! I'd love to see how he does though.

I requested it to get you to shut up, really!

It's coming along, never abandoned this project, however I have remade/redrawn most of the "heraldic symbols/animals".

Here are some previews of some of the 600 shields I've made so far.

I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to display them on a site

 

[cool-toxic]

Oh jolly good ! 600 ! That's a lot.

Maybe you can make a bmp map which then has links to the svg files?

 

[Birger]

More are coming along as we speak it just takes some time to draw new symbols/animals.

I'm thinking of making a site with a map, just as www.earlyblazon.com.

 

[unmerged(40707)]

Yes, great site and good idea.

 

[cool-toxic]

Hmm yes in that case may I suggest using RomE map, made by Elvain, as base ?

[Birger]

Good idea, I'll see if I can use that.

Later on I want to make the site in flash so you can zoom in/out and move around easily.

well, the project was started to serve as source map or base map for things such as this.

So if I can do somwthing with the map to help you, just tell me

 

[Birger]

Got some new "previews"

Currently taking a break from the shields and working on the site, registered a website address as well. (www.armorial-bearings.com) the mapview will look something like this, (smaller, more zoomed in and detailed though).

Map showing europe in around 1200.

* - some of the shields on the map isn't all 100% correct for the timeperiod, just wanted to make a preview for you guys.
