Day 29 : Gold "D’or à l’ombre de soleil accompagnée de trois ombres de fleurs de lis." Louis XIV, the Sun king, made extensive use of gold. The ombre de sun reflects the king death and the ombre de fleur-de-lis the end of the french monarchy. Only gold remains. #heraldecember2025

Day 30 : Garden "D'azur à une pioche accostée d’un jar, d’un houx vrillé arraché, le tout d’argent." In ref to my "pépé", a miner who used allotment garden. In french "d'un jar d'un houx vrillé" is pronounced almost like "d'un jardin ouvrier". Canting arms. #heraldecember2025

#Heraldecember2025 27 | Leopard The Latin says "Don't Play With Fire." #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is orange, with a spotted heraldic leopard in yellow walking across it, facing the viewer and baring its fangs and tongue. The helmet at the top of the crest is crowned with elaborate orange and yellow mantling that looks like flames, and topped with a more naturalistically-drawn fire. A charred ribbon reading "Noli Cum Igne Ludere" arcs behind the helmet.

#Heraldecember2025 28 | Road I'm fascinated by medieval pilgrimage imagery, I find it charming how they would collect badges along the way. These aren't based on any actual holy sites, though. #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is green, with five smaller shields with small insignias on each. A thin road loops across the shield, threading them together. At the top of the crest, instead of a helmet there's a pilgrim's wide-brimmed hat, with shells set in the brim. Two pilgrim's staffs with shoulder bags hanging from the ends are crossed behind the hat.

#Heraldecember2025 29 | Gold Referencing the phrase "selling shovels in a gold rush," a rather morally dubious but certainly lucrative way to actually profit from one. #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The subtly shovel-shaped shield is blue with a shiny gold saltire and crossed shovels across the center. The helmet at the top of the crest is a kettle hat, with yellow and blue mantling with hand-shaped trim. Emerging from the top of the helmet is a pale hand with a tiny piece of gold pinched between its thumb and forefinger.

#Heraldecember2025 22 | Mandarin I wound up down a rabbithole reading about citrus breeds, which reminds me of quartered crests for royal family trees. So this is the lemon's lineage: a pomelo and a mandarin orange make a bitter orange, which is then crossed with a citron. #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is broken up into quarters, which are each subdivided in half. On the top left and bottom right quarters are a pomelo on green next to a tiny mandarin orange on yellow. On the other quarters are a citron on sky blue over a bitter orange on white. The gold helmet at top of the crest has a domed top with chain mail hanging down, and yellow and green mantling that looks a bit like leaves. On top of the helm sits a lemon.

#Heraldecember2025 | Ring Bellchoir handbells and gloves! #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is white with a red diagonal stripe, with four gold handbells, small to large, running along the stripe. The helmet at the top of the crest is gold and rather bell-shaped, and the red and white mantling has sleighbells along the strips of fabric. On top of the helmet sits a pair of white handbell gloves.

#Heraldecember2025 | Talent A talent is an ancient unit of weight (it varied culture to culture, though) that eventually became a monetary unit as well. #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is divided in half diagonally, one side yellow and the other side blue. An old-fashioned scale is depicted in the center of the shield. Over the helmet at the top of the crest is yellow and blue mantling, and at the top of the helm sits a gold coin with sparkles around it.

#Heraldecember2025 25 | Room Hey buddy, gonna put anything else on there? No? Alright... #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is angular and simple, just a big white field with a comically tiny little man in the center. The helmet at the top of the crest is small and bucket-shaped, with a slit for eyes and holes for breathing, with no further mantling or symbols.

#Heraldecember2025 26 | Apart More ludicrous quartering! More!! This one really laid bare why you shouldn't have colors on colors, I filled out the braid on the torse in dim lighting and could barely tell the difference between the blue and green! #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic crest, shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The sield is quartered awkwardly, with the top and bottom pieces of a yellow lion on green at top left and bottom right, and the top and bottom pieces of a white rat on blue on the other quarters. Instead of a helmet, there is a janus-head at the top of the crest, both faces looking in opposite directions, one frowning and the other cheerful. The mantling over the lefthand face matches the lion's colors and the other's matches the rat's. Above the heads sits a signpost with arrows pointing in opposite directions.

A heraldic shield set at a tilt, rendered in copic markers and ink. The shield uses heraldic symbols and shapes to recreate the "Man." meme, wherein a horse looks out over the ocean seemingly pensively. Instead of a normal helm on top, there's an elaborate horse armor helmet.

At the widest end of white is a small orange cat, walking with its tail in the air.

#Heraldecember2025 19 | Exercise Even a triskele must keep fit! The Latin approximates "no pain, no gain." #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is red, with a triskele in the center in the manner of the flag of Sicily: a central human face with three bent legs radiating out. This one is flushed and puffing with exertion, wearing a sweatband over its blond curls. Its legs are wearing running shorts, athletic socks and sneakers, and arcing out between each leg is a towel. The helmet at the top of the crest is wearing a victorious laurel wreath, with a blender bottle set on top. Arcing behind the helm is a motto ribbon reading "Nullus Dolor Nullus Luctator."

A heraldic shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is blue, with a white and orange cat paw in the center as if raising it to ask a question. The helmet at the top of the crest has a pointed face that looks hard to see out of, elaborate orange and white mantling with cat-paw-shaped scalloping, and on top sits a cat paw holding a blue heart.

A heraldic shield set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic markers. The shield is yellow, depicting an egg being cracked into a frying pan. The helmet at the top of the crest has its faceplates open as if singing, and has a yellow and black mantle draped in zigzags of fabric coming from under its torse. Issuing from the torse is a black beetle.

An angular heraldic shield drawn on a tilt, rendered in ink and copic marker. The whole thing is themed to the show Stranger Things. The shield is bisected horizontally by a band of white. The top half is red, depicting Mike's bicycle. The bottom half is dark blue, depicting three unfurled Demogorgon heads. On top of the crest, instead of a helm, is a bust of young Eleven from the first season, glaring fiercely and with a trickle of blood down her nose.

#Heraldecember2025 16 | Bridge This one will take some explaining, I'll chatter about the extremely specific hyperlocal history I'm referencing in the replies because it'll get too long for this post. #heraldry #heraldecember
A heraldic shield, set at a tilt, rendered in ink and copic marker. The shield is bisected in half by the outline of a metal bridge. The whole shield is decorated with wavy lines of color. Below the bridge, they're blue and white, and above the bridge they're orange and yellow. A helm sits on top of the crest, facing the viewer, its faceplate wide open as if singing. Blue and white mantling spreads around it, and a fermata symbol sits on top of the helm. A motto ribbon that looks like rusted metal arcs behind the helm, reading "hic dentes vermium franget," Latin for "This will break the worms' teeth."
