Part of 14 House Sigils originally created for an EN World project envisioning heraldry as influenced by today's aesthetic/graphic design. Crescent Moon - a sliver moon in a circle with three stars and triangle outrays.

Heraldry, entomology, and general nerdery collide in Valorous Beasties, a series of designs inspired by coats of arms, distinctive unit insignia, and BUGS. Periodic cicadas are known for their long periods of domancy--between 13 and 17 years--a trick that is thought to thwart would-be predators by either starving them out or overwhelming them with sheer numbers when the cicadas emerge. This crest bears the motto "tempore quaeque suo qui facit; ille sapit" or "the wise person is the one who does everything in its proper time," attributed to Ovid.

A trio of North American Canines. The red fox, coyote and wolf. Pretty much always going to be my favorites to draw. Surrounded by Lupins, Hollyhocks, and Magpie wings. From Inktober 2017.

The Lion and the Unicorn are symbols of the United Kingdom. They are, properly speaking, heraldic supporters appearing in the full royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The lion stands for England and the unicorn for Scotland. The combination therefore dates back to the 1603 accession of James I of England who was already James VI of Scotland. By extension, they have also been used in the arms of Hanover between 1837–1866 and the arms of Canada since 1921.

Once formal heraldry became a thing in the 12th century, the Knights of the Round Table got assigned coats of arms of their own. This one is Palamedes' arms: Argent, quartered fess indented sable and checky sable. Translated from blazonry: On a silver background in four parts, the wearer's top right and bottom left divided horizontally in half with black zig-zags, and the top left and bottom right in a black and silver checkerboard.

Once formal heraldry became a thing in the 12th century, the Knights of the Round Table got assigned coats of arms of their own. This one is Safir's: Party per cross, vair proper and or checky vert. Translated from blazonry: Four equal parts, with the wearer's top right and bottom left in blue and white vair bells, and the wearer's top left and bottom right in gold and green checks.

This is an original drawing of one of the patterns, or "furs," allowed in traditional heraldry: vair, which has bell-shaped icons supposedly inspired by silver foxes (I don't see it, personally), in its "proper" or most common color of white/silver and blue.
