Been working on some heraldic crests for a personal project (for either a game or a graphic novel, still fully undecided). Here is the first of more to follow;
House Shrouw:

There will be many dragon themed sigils, as is explained once their place is understood in the realm of Chrishodia (a continent of the yet un-named world).

A watery dragon of sorts.
Colours: blue, red, tawny-birch, white and gold.

Thanks Redworld.. I'll certainly post another tonight; I've already penciled it. I'm stoked because the design came to me while in a meditative blank-state, and I think it's really cool.
I just have to colour it!!!

Nice work, have you considered specific items to conjure symbolism behind them? Prominent geography, history, trade etc?

Thanks for asking Epsimrove, I have considered all those things (I've got maps drawn up and histories summarized etc. even a code for their languages), except for the item specs. idea; I will definitely ruminate on that. Especially if I take the game route.. I'll have to post some of the other things I've got soon as well. I just keep changing the maps still.
Edit: I've got lots of names to come up with still for most of the smaller realms.

Good ideas, the abundance of all these small details should really engross your audience. I'll check in now and then; keep it up.

Eventually I will add more. but for now here is:
House Estorra:


A pair of earthy dragons connected at the bottom.
  Colours: forest-green, brown, green, yellow, white and red.

You know what you need to make with these?

Coat patches. Because I would so put one on mine, if I had a cool jacket! <333

That's a really good idea actually.. I'm stoked on that! I could do it too..  by printing GiclĂ©e on canvas, cutting out by hand, and stitching on. One more dragon crest imminent.

House Panel:

Dragon of the white mountain.
  Colours: grey, black, white, violet, twilight-blue and jade-green.

Not sure if this one's a keeper (I may use it for a minor house).

You do? aww jeesh. Well I was going to delete it; but now I'm afraid to delete it! :p I'll keep it, though I will change the dragon later since I like the tree and asymmetry about it. The dragon is irritating me the more I look at it.. I liked it in sketch form quite a bit, but I think it looks "top-heavy" and awkward hehe. I'm super glad you like it though.

House Farinaz:

Wolf, dragon and fish hybrids biting a ring with a sword at its center.
Colours: red, white and black.

Looking really good Lijj, I especially like the elements in the Farinaz one.

Lijj

Glad you're keeping up on this Epsimrove... and fine choice; May be the best design yet. Since you asked about maps earlier, here is an older one;  very outdated though:

also,
I will have an update for the black dragon on House Panel's sigil soon

I admire the linework you've put into these, especially the lower torso of the Panel dragon. There's a nice fluidity to it, even though the contrast from the white background makes it hard to notice from afar. Given how much you've done already, I'm wondering if you've kept up with this project, as it's inspiring to see what you've imagined here. Other than art, what else do you have in mind, such as story or general setting?

Zotis

Hi Lijj, these are all really cool.  Please don't change House Panel.  I really like it, and the dragon looks awkward but in a good way.  I like his blocky body, his shriveled limbs, and his strange mouth.  He looks great next to the tree like that, and the colors are perfect.  Please don't change it.

My favorite so far is House Farinaz.  I think it has the best color composition and most interesting designs.  The detail on each object is really good, the dragons, the sword, the ring.  I especially like the ring with the chubby little face on it.

The only one I think you need to touch up is House Estorra.  All it really needs is a bit more detail on the body from the necks down.  The heads have texture but the body and fins don't.  They just need a bit of texture and it would be perfect.

Anyway, if you can produce patches of these I would pay for them and sow them on my bag and jacket.  Let me know if that's a real possibility and not just a good intention.

Hey guys I didn't see that anyone posted here 'til now.
Thanks for taking an interest in these. They are for what was, when I 1st posted, an undecided project. I was either going to make a comic book (since I can't code) or a video game. I decided to go with making a game. I've developed on these ideas since then. If either of you want some info on the project you are welcome to PM me on this site. I check the site at least 3 times a week if not more.
Zotis, I am sorry but I changed House Panel's sigil a long time ago (like right after I said I wanted to) I just neglected this post :p. I'll keep the old one here at least though. And if you wanted to you really could print these on canvas, I'm going to print House Shrouw's out to sew onto my coat. It's a process called Glicee, just make sure you spray it with a clear coat before patching it cause it will flake usually.

I'm glad you guys like house panel's sigil.. I liked the dragon/tree combo but instead I broke it up into two different houses.

House Panel (new):


simplified a bit; but I like it more.

Colours: Grey, yellow, black and violet.

And
House Varda:


Colours: Brown, white, green and black.

I have an idea for a house sigil based on an actual historic one (House of Beaufort):
dat crushing gate!

Update:
House Voldmhyre:


Colours: Black, red, white and gold.



And since you like the Farinaz crest :D:
