Personal Crests
by Joie on Aug.16, 2009, under Studio
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated, but I’ve been super busy with my day job as of late. I am back from California though, and I really enjoyed Comic Con! It was a shame that I had to leave Saturday night in order to catch my flight home, but there’s always next year.
These crests are personal crests that I designed during my trip. I had just finished reading George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones, and was inspired by the idea of every family having their own sigil/themed animal and thought I’d try it out for myself. The first crest is my own, and the others belong to two of my best friends from California.
They’re just done in pencil, but they were fun and fast to hammer out. I do intend to do larger, painted versions of them as well. I’ve got a few more that I’m doing for other friends as well, and have had lots of fun ideas! I wonder if anyone would be interested in commissioning me to do one for them? Hopefully I’ll have a painted version up soon so you all can see what they’d look like.
Vinny news later this week!

Beautiful, I needed ideas for a crest we were making in school and the design helped a lot! Of course I would never copy directly, so don’t worry:).
