Had a rough month so I haven't kept up with posting. Here's a mishmash of random stuff I drew in March. There's: a coat of arms for an RP character's father, some practice sketches, and a LuckyShipping sketch I did for an art game on a forum.

The crest of a fantasy town named Valkar. It is a pointy shield, with a striped red white and green background, with on it, a motif of a fiery flower flocked with a pair of wings. The shield is ornate, golden, with a crowned phoenix atop it. Behind the shield are bronze ornament, and over it, is a scroll with the name of the town inscribed.
Commission from Vgen (my first ! woo !) of a fantasy town crest. I had a lot of fun making this !

The image is from the BRISCOE memorial in the church of St. Michael Without, Bath, and shows three greyhounds courant. #bathhalf #visitbath #heraldry
