Coat of arms of Amber Martinez, California, designed by her, improved by Kevin D Couling and Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast and emblazoned by me. In general, when the dividing lines are diagonal, whether straight or curved, the traditional French terminology is preferred in English. When the dividing lines extend from chief to base and are straight, «Chaussé» ~ «Calzado» designates a partition in the form of a «V», whereas «Chapé» ~ «Cortinado» designates a partition in the form of a caret «^». When these same partitions are drawn with curved lines, the French adjective «ployé», meaning curvilinear, is added, giving «Chaussé ployé» ~ «Calzado curvilíneo», in the form of a «V», and «Chapé ployé» ~ «Cortinado curvilíneo», in the form of a caret «^», following the terminology proposed by [Sanz Lacorte, J.; 2007]. A second family of partitions originates at the centre of the shield. When their dividing lines are straight, the English terms «Party per chevron reversed» ~ «Mantelado en jefe» are used for a partition in the form of a «V» extending from the chief to the centre, whereas «Party per chevron» ~ «Mantelado en punta» designates a partition in the form of a caret «^» extending from the centre to the base, this latter being by far the most common of the partitions described here. When these central partitions are instead drawn with curved lines, the French terminology is again adopted: «Enté en chef» ~ «Entado en jefe» for a curvilinear partition in the form of a «V» extending from the centre towards the chief; «Enté en point» ~ «Entado en punta» for a curvilinear partition in the form of a caret «^» extending from the centre towards the base; «Enté en chef enhanced» ~ «Entado en jefe alzado» when the upper enté begins above the centre, approximately in the upper third of the shield, still forming a «V»; and «Enté en point abased» ~ «Entado en punta caído» when the lower enté begins below the centre, still forming a caret «^». As an additional distinction, «Chapé throughout» ~ «Capa» forms a straight caret «^», touching the chief and descending approximately to the middle of the flanks, whereas «Chapé ployé throughout» ~ «Capa curvilínea» has the same general arrangement and also forms a caret «^», but with curved lines. According to [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 85], «entés» originate from the centre of the shield; when «Enté en chef» ~ «Entado en jefe» begins in the upper third of the shield it is described as «Enté en chef enhanced» ~ «Entado en jefe alzado», whereas when «Enté en point» ~ «Entado en punta» begins in the lower third it is described as «Enté en point abased» ~ «Entado en punta caído». Nevertheless, heraldic practice does not always follow this theoretical distinction. For example, the pomegranate representing the Kingdom of Granada in the arms of Spain is almost universally blazoned as «Enté en point» ~ «Entado en punta», although it is neither described as «Enté en point abased» ~ «Entado en punta caído» nor usually depicted as issuing from the exact centre of the shield, but rather from a noticeably lower position.

Coat of arms of Amber Martinez, California, designed by her, improved by Kevin D Couling and Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast and emblazoned by me. The motto «Miseris succurrere disco» originates from Virgil's «Aeneid», [Virgil, P.; Century I B.C.; book I, verse 630], numbered as verses 630-631 in some editions. The complete sentence is «Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco», commonly translated as «Not being unacquainted with suffering, I learn to help those who suffer» or «Knowing suffering myself, I have learned to come to the aid of the unfortunate». These words are spoken by Queen Dido of Carthage as she welcomes Aeneas and his shipwrecked Trojans. Offering them refuge and protection, Dido explains that she herself has experienced exile and hardship after fleeing Tyre following the murder of her husband. Her own experience of suffering has taught her compassion and empathy for those enduring misfortune, making this passage one of the most enduring literary expressions of charity, hospitality, and solidarity with people in distress.

Coat of arms interpreted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a chasuble outer contour and with a freehand finishing.

Canting arms of Rex Lancefield emblazoned by me under the directions of his descendant Erik Paul Arnelien. I usually employ the English term «spear», but as this is a case of canting arms for Rex Lancefield, I have written the blazon in English using the term «lance» instead of «spear», since «Lancefield» begins with «lance».

Canting arms of Rex Lancefield emblazoned by me under the directions of his descendant Erik Paul Arnelien. This photograph shows my hand-drawn Nordic scroll alongside the coat of arms in which it is used as a external decoration. The scroll was drawn directly in ink on tracing paper using a fine technical pen and long, continuous strokes, without any preliminary pencil sketch, repeating the design as many times as necessary until the desired result was achieved. The image shows an initial tracing on tracing paper with a second, more refined tracing superimposed over it; this version was later refined a third time digitally, as can be seen in the final rendering of the complete coat of arms.

Almorrabides of Navarre Or, three Pallets Azure.

Paly of six Azure and Or; over all a bend Azure.

For this comparison I make the optical illusion as if the coat of arms of Almorrabides de Navarra was Azure, instead of being Or, and the Pallets Or, instead of being Azure. Para esta comparación hago el juego visual como si el escudo de Almorrabides de Navarra fuera de Azur, en vez de ser de Oro, y que los palos que sobresalen iluminados son los de Oro, en vez de ser los de Azur.
