Your artwork is fine. No problem there. You did a good job. I apologize for not mentioning that in my post. My only beef is with the design itself. An interesting exercise in rendering the arms? Yes. Worse blazons in Burke's? I'll buy that. Worse designs in Burke's? Hmmmm.... No sure about that. My bottom line is ... there are a few simple guidlines that any would-be armiger ought to keep in mind:

1. KEEP IT SIMPLE! Try not use more than two colors and try not to use more than one metal (i.e., silver or gold). Further, try not to use more than two charges.

2. KEEP IT UNIQUE! Don't infringe upon the rights of another armiger. If needs be, you can base your design on that of another armiger, but change at least two elements (i.e., colors, metals, partition lines, charges, etc.).

3. AVOID THE "FROSTED LUCKY CHARMS" COAT OF ARMS! Remember that you're designing a personal coat of arms, not a national flag. If you're part French-Scottish-Irish-German there's no need to include a French fleur-de-lis, a Scottish thistle, an Irish harp and a German cross formee in your arms.

4. AVOID THE "DOG'S BREAKFAST" COAT OF ARMS! Remember that a coat of arms shouldn't include symbols alluding to every interest or hobby that you have. Placing too many charges on a shield will make it look cluttered.

5. CANTING ARMS... A "cant" is a wordplay on one's name. If your surname is Archer, then ... including symbols that allude to archery on your arms would be a "cant". The same can be done with your given name, but remember that your arms will be used by your offspring and their heirs.
