Some questions from an interested, but ignorant, noob.
so, I got it into my head to design a COA for myself. I know what the crest associated with my last name looks like, but I'd rather design my own (besides, I'm not british, so would have no real claim to it.) I've been playing around with Heraldry Studio, and I noticed it has two divisions of the field I don't think I've seen elsewhere, which split at the 1/3 line vertically (as if tierced per pale with two adjacent sections the same color). would that be permitted/has that been done before?
secondly, I wonder about designing COAs for my kids, specifically how close to my design I should keep theirs. I've attached the current designs I've come up with. Thing 2 is not yet verbal enough to have a favorite color or animal, so I'm just spitballing on that one.
