A drawing of a heraldic shield with elaborately curled edges. It's split into four quadrants, with the upper left and bottom right decorated with a vair (squirrel fur) pattern in purple and yellow, and the opposite quadrants in solid green. Centered in the shield is a clown in a pierrot-like outfit wearing a big two-pointed jester hat. Under the crest is a curled ribbon reading VIVAT LEVITATE.

#heraldecember2024 30: Viva

I found the French phrase "vive la bagatelle," basically "long live frivolous nonsense," expressing a carefree attitude, and set out to make a crest to match. The latin VIVAT LEVITATE is a rough translation of the sentiment, closer to "he lives lightly." #heraldecember

A drawing of a heraldic crest: a dark blue shield with a white candle with a glowing yellow flame centered on it. Draped around it is a ghostly translucent mantle, and peeking out from under it at the top is a woman's head with long wavy hair, serenely smiling.

a blue shield with a white diagonal band from top left to bottom right. On the band are three brown discs with gold detail. As much as they look like cookies, this is meant to represent cross sections of telegraph cable going across the Atlantic

a white shield. at the top is a gold band with three figures in academic dress with grey hair. the main part of the shield shows the back of someone with brown hair wearing academic dress. it's meant to represent a PhD viva (this is as close as I think i'll ever get)

A drawing of a heraldic shield shaped like an oval with notches cut out of it at the top and sides, like a Time Lord cowl flattened into a 2D shape. The top half is a purple crest, it's split in the middle by a silver scullcap with a sharp widow's peak, and the bottom half has two silver chest plates over a purple inner lining. Four starbursts are arrayed along the top edge. There are intricate circular gallifreyan designs on each chest plate.

I left my circle stencil at home during my holiday vacation but I still do things like make a design with a bunch of circles on it, because why not #heraldecember

A drawing of a heraldic shield with a dark blue section with a wavy border against a light blue one, representing the ocean against the sky. Centered in the ocean section is a cross section of telegraph cable: a thin green ring around a thick brown ring of smaller circles, a thin ring of silver around a thick ring of black, and five small circles in the center.

#heraldecember2024 29: Telegraph

I had the idea for this several days ago and looked up an 1850s trans-atlantic cable, then didn't finish the sketch right away. So I left the tab up, occasionally clicking it by accident as if I just needed to Contemplate The Cable every now and then. #heraldecember
