G0084: the coat of arms of Heidi Garcia-Bosch-de Morales-de Sola née Adriaensen, of France, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. The image combines a photograph of a drawing of a doe sejeant along with her coat of arms, both painted by me. The figures, especially natural charges, are drawn by my hand. I trace them directly in black ink, without preliminary pencil sketches, using strokes as long as possible and trying not to lift the pen, with fine technical pens and without passing twice over the same line. This method produces long, flowing lines that seem to move freely around the figure, but it has one obvious disadvantage: mistakes and retracing are difficult to conceal. When something goes wrong, I usually prefer to complete the whole figure first, so that I can assess the final result and identify any difficult points that may arise towards the end of the drawing. I then draw the entire figure again on a fresh sheet of translucent tracing paper, using the previous version only as a visual guide. It is quite normal for me to repeat this process several times until I obtain a result that satisfies me. This doe is particularly characteristic of my way of drawing natural figures. Curiously, unlike its final appearance in the coat of arms and unlike my usual working orientation, I originally drew it facing the sinister side of the shield and later reversed it digitally before incorporating it into the arms. If the errors are small, however, I do not redraw the whole figure by hand. This may be the case when a line has gone slightly beyond another instead of stopping at it, when my hand has fallen a little short, or when a stroke has wandered away from where I intended it to go. In this photograph, for example, a small imperfection of this kind can be seen on the front leg close to the hoof. Once the drawing has been digitized, I correct these minor defects digitally. Curiously, this cleaning stage usually takes me longer than the original hand drawing. Contrary to what one might expect, at least in my own way of working, the manual part of the process is considerably faster than the digital one.

Escudo de plata, cinco lobos pasantes de sable; una bordura de azur, cargada de ocho aspas de oro.

Arms emblazoned by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a freehand finishing.

Coat of arms of María Lobo, Lady of the House of Alvito. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The arms are traditionally associated with the Lobo family of Alvito and are documented in Castilian and Portuguese heraldic and genealogical sources. These arms were equally used by other members of the House of Alvito, such as Ruy Dias Lobo and his descendants. I have emblazoned this coat of arms at the request of Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim, as he counts the Lobo lineage of Alvito among his ancestors. It is not necessary to say the arrangement of the wolves which is in saltire, that is, 2, 1 and 2, since it is the default arrangement in heraldry for 5 equal charges.

Coat of arms of the House of Noronha in Portugal, a lineage of dual royal origin. The House of Noronha originated with Alfonso Enríquez of Castile, Count of Noreña and Gijón, the natural son of King Henry II of Castile, founder of the Trastámara dynasty, and of Elvira Íñiguez. The lineage became linked to the Portuguese Royal House through the marriage of Alfonso Enríquez to Isabel of Portugal, the natural daughter of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, an alliance arranged in the context of the Treaty of Santarém of 1373, which brought an end to the Fernandine Wars, during which Ferdinand I of Portugal confronted the kings of the House of Trastámara over the throne of Castile following the murder of Peter I at the hands of his half-brother Henry. The House of Noronha became established in Portugal, and its arms quarter those of the Kingdom of Portugal, differenced by a brisure consisting of a baston Sable, and those of the House of Trastámara. This coat of arms has been emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings, his coat of arms has a inescutcheon with the arms of the House of Noronha.

My heraldic Pixiv wall is Dr.A.Salmeron @antoniosheraldry and pixiv.me/antoniosheraldry.

Pixiv is a Japanese online community for artists. I post in Pixiv 2 or 3 coats of arms per week. They use a strict form to post with many mandatory input fields. This week, they have added a new mandatory field «AI-generated work: Yes / No», AI ~ Artificial Intelligence. In the image, I have highlighted this new field in red.

My animation of the coat of arms of Juan Lanzagorta reached position 33 in Pixiv’s daily Ugoira animation ranking. I am very happy about this, as it is not easy to achieve.

Argent, five escutcheons in cross Azure, each charged with five plates in saltire; a bordure Gules, charged with seven castles triple-towered Or, 3, 2, and 2 [for Portugal]; the whole debruised by a baston Sable.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a freehand finishing.

Coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal differenced by a baston Sable, as it appears in the arms of the House of Noronha. In the Arquivo Heráldico Genealógico of the Viscount Sanches de Baena this brisure is blazoned as «é por diferença um filete de negro sobreposto em banda», while in the Armaría Portuguesa it is described as «um filete negro em contrabanda». This latter term may be confusing, as «contrabanda» corresponds to the bend sinister, that is, the opposite diagonal. For the purpose of blazoning this coat of arms I use the heraldic term «baston» in English ~ «bastón» in Spanish ~ «bande batonnée» in French ~ «bastone» in Italian, denoting a bend reduced to 1/4 of its normal width. It should be recalled that the diminished bend properly speaking is the «bendlet», whose width ranges between 1/2 and 1/3 of that of the bend; the baston, being thinner, is therefore more suitable and proportionate for this shield. This coat of arms has been emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings. In that coat of arms, the inescutcheon of the House of Noronha bears this differenced Portugal arms in the 1^st and 4^th quarters.
