2/ ...towards the end of 2025 caused a halt in the workings of most of the parliamentary institutions meaning they will likely be granted some time at the start of 2026.
1/ An overview of the coats of arms and flags I designed for Czech municipalities and which were also granted in the year. Technically there should be two more but those haven't been granted yet. While they have received expert pre-approval, the Czech parliamentary elections...

Got a bit carried away. There are two paintings today. First is Sable, a Pissant passant proper fimbriated argent. More simply, a black shield with an ant on it, the ant is coloured normally and has a white edge all round it. 'Passant' in heraldry refers to a beast in a walking pose, side-on, and is of course also French for 'passing'. The second shield is black-ish, with two white hands, one passing a golden baton to the other - proof, if any were needed, that hands are difficult (but who is that mysterious person being passed the baton?). yes i know the hand receiving should be a *right* hand and not a left hand for it to make sense.
4. Passing
#Heraldecember2025 #heraldry
(A second day of bonus shield!)
Oh damn it, you did what I was planning to do :D Pissant passant. Well, now I have to think up another idea....
Very cool emblazonment style! With every new arms I see, I'm more determined to commission you for an emblazonment one day!
My third entry for the #Heraldecember !
2025 - Day 3 : "Cavalry"

I think that we will go for the "one day delay" from now on XD

A heraldic crest drawn in ink and copic markers, set at an angle with a white chess piece king's crown set above it. The shield is checkered in black and red, and has two white chess knights facing each other. A motto scroll curls in a circle around and behind the crown, reading FUMUS ANTE IGNIS.
#Heraldecember2025 3 | Cavalry
The motto “fumus ante ignis” is my tentative Latin translation of “smoke before fire,” the phrase indicating that white starts a game of chess.

"Very well, Captain, sound a... countercharge."

If you're feeling brave, try to blazon it. It doesn't bite... much.

Love it!
Preach! 🙏 The save function is your best friend!
Treat it as a low-stakes way of learning the programme! It'll be worth it in the long run :) I've been using it for nearly ten years and I learned some new things today while working on my entry too!
And once again - now for the fifth time - we kick off a new edition of #Heraldecember!
This year's prompts are inspired by various famous novels from around the globe. (More info below...)

"Gules, three bezants voided Or"
Style inspired by the Coffee Hag album.
#Heraldecember 2025, day 1 prompt - Counterfeit
Can't say if I'll have time, energy or inspiration to do all of the prompts (knowing myself, that's a no), but here's a little something. "Bezants voided" are sometimes refered to as "false roundels". #heraldecember2025
4/ ..., and a choice many other Czech municipalities should take inspiration from. #heraldry #vexillology
3/ When choosing their coat of arms, the municipality opted for something simple and striking: a golden trilobite on blue, with the flag taking the form of a banner of arms. It is a clear way of highlighting what makes the place unique...
2/ ...and major nobles. During the rule of the Schwarzenbergs, the locals took part in anti-serfdom uprisings that were brutally suppressed. Skryje is a world-class fossil site, largely thanks to the cataloguing work of the French engineer Joachim Barrande, whose name is well known in Czechia.
🧵 The fourth entry in my trilobite series comes from the municipality of Skryje. The first written mention of the village dates to 1229. Like many small Czech settlements, it changed hands repeatedly over the centuries, being traded, bought, sold, divided, reunited, and governed by various minor...
