Blazoning is the term used to mean describing the arms in heraldic language, in a concise and unambiguous way

In blazoning arms there are accepted conventions for the order of describing various elements:

1. The field or background
2. Principal features and those holding a central position, e.g. a bend or fess, or a lion
3. Secondary charges on the field, e.g. 3 scallops, or 6 crosslets (little crosses)
4. Objects on the principal charge
5. Important charges which are off-centre, e.g. a chief
6. Charges on [5]
7. Marks of cadency if any, e.g. a label

In practice these elements are often combined, e.g. Argent on a fess sable three bezants between three fleur-de-lys gules

Kass, I rarely comment these days, but after reading a couple of the comments on this image I had to. You've been on my fav's list for a long long time, I think this is one of your best images ever. The blending of the colors is just marvelous. I love the art-deco of old world with the new, it gives it an almost cyber-punk meets old Egyptian feel.

I did see the safety pin that novemberlion:iconnovemberlion: mentioned, but I had to look for it because the rest of the piece is so beautiful. I disagreed with novemberlion:iconnovemberlion: about the glasses too, I think the stark contrast they give by going a different angle to the rest of the movement draws out the features in your face.
