This is King Arwyn, the Laughing Dragon, the King of Scotland Coa. He was captured from Wales during early Norse incursions. Later, he worked his way up to become a military leader, participating in the great Heathen invasion of Britain, and he married the daughter of Halfdan "Whiteshirt" of the Danelaw.
This is from a current playthrough of a Norse pagan Welsh character who came in to the British Isles with the Norse Invasion after gaining his freedom and end up settling and founding the Scottish culture and Kingdom known as The Laughing dragon
I don't see many Asian-based heraldry here - so I wanted to post my Hattori (as accurate as I could) design. This is also my first post on here.
I really found it hard to get the outer design part, but I think I did the best with what I had with my current skill.
Looking forward to my hattori/intrigue run in Japan as a custom Noble :)
If anyone can make this better I would absolutely love to see it and lets get some more Japanese/asian heraldry here, theyre underrated
Mods:
Does anyone know a way to convert a multicolored image into heraldry? For example, I found a reconstruction of a Palaiologan-era stone emblem from Meteora that may (according to author) have been based on an earlier military banner. It was associated with a donation dedicated to Byzantine military saints, and I’d love to turn it into a proper in-game banner. I’ve included the original image below in case anyone is interested.

This design requires after the end to be installed as a mod, and vanilla ck3
I mainly had drew inspiration from both the gamboling lamb flag flown by the 1st Louisiana Zouaves during the American Civil War and the bonnie blue flag for this design
Pastebin; I'm using Patrum Scuta, Cat's COA, Heraldic Animals, LC13 and Better COA Designer.
I played a Khorasani (I think non-cultures expanded its Tajik) nomad in Tibet. At first I only wanted to play a nomad to one day have overrun Kingdom CB, but honestly feel in love with the idea of playing tall as an empire, which i don't really ever get to do. After a few decades I was able to vassalize all of Tibet and then settle the the steppe part (since the south and east is already settled but the north and west isn't/I razed everything).
I use this COA a ton and replace the center with whatever fits my run and either add or take away from it
