Aritê's Depth 50- Draw 50 Calontir royal arms for use as flash cards and whatever else they may be used for (the Calontir Big Book of Emblazons, for example).
50+/50 completed
Calontir's current Gold Falcon sent out a request for someone to make flash cards of the arms of the Royal Lineage of Calontir. I had recently, for two seconds, thought about illuminating a roll of arms (like the period tournament rolls of arms) before sensibility took over and said "Too much work right now." Drawing things in Illustrator, though, takes much less time and has the additional benefit of building up my library of charges for use with future clients. In short, this request was perfect.
As of the beginning of this challenge, there have been 82 royals of Calontir who either had registered arms or were using them. That's at least 50, so why not make it another challenge? It's not quite enough for two, so I'll just complete the challenge on the way to completing the flash cards.
Making this in Illustrator may seem redundant since one can already access images in the Royal Armorial. However, most of them are pretty low-res and not good for blowing up to the size Gold Falcon wants. Illustrator files are vector art, so it's a non-issue there.
Here they are in no particular order. I'd have them in some sort of order (by reign or by name), except that blogger has decided to place them randomly. If the colors look off from what you would expect, it's because I made CMYK files since they're destined for printing. I also included notes where needed.

| Chepe l'Orageux 5th Champion/4th Warlord and 1st King Per saltire gules and sable, two lightning flashes throughout in saltire, barbed and flighted Or * The emblazon in the armorial does not have the bolts throughout, but I have a hard time believing he didn't intend them to be, so I've drawn them that way here. **These are modern lightning bolts. You may see more rectangular lightning bolts on newer devices, but if I remember correctly, these are Victorian. I don't think lightning bolts are registrable anymore (correct me if I'm wrong), so I've just left them as is here. |

 |
| Iliya of Shadowdale 20th Queen [Tinctureless] A Ukranian trident and a drawn horse bow conjoined in pale [sable] *Device in use but not registered *This design is based on bi/tridents such as those used by the Kiev dynasty and is appropriate for an early period Russian persona such as Her Excellency's. The blazon is a guess on my part. The bottom element might also be blazoned as a heart or a quarter of a Cross of Calatrava. The words in brackets would be necessary for registration in the SCA, but nonsensical in period. In addition to stamping the completely tinctureless design on coins, she also displayed it as Or on purpure during her reign. I've chosen to reproduce it as black and white here to hold true to period design (black and white doesn't necessarily read as "tinctured"), but will change it to Or on purpure if She requests. *Ukranian/Kievan bi/tridents might be descended from tamga (Drachuk, 1975; Yatsenko, 2001; Fetisov, 2007; Lebedynsky, 2011), though the latter two caution that it isn't necessarily the sign itself that descends from them, but rather the system of use and inheritance. |

| Phaedra filia Roberti 32nd and 40th Queen Argent semy of ladybugs gules spotted sable, a bordure gules *The ladybugs I've drawn here are European seven-spotted ladybugs, not to be mistaken for the common invasive Asian species found here in the US. |

| Susannah Griffon 8th, 29th, and 39th Queen Pean, a saltire Or, overall a griffon passant gules, and for augmentation, on a canton purpure a Cross of Calatrava within a bordure Or *I added the augmentation to the blazon. Looks like it was never resubmitted to add it, though it's being displayed this way. **This is a Fox-Davies (i.e. post-period) griffon, which I did not know when I drew it a while back. I'll eventually replace my Fox-Davies art with more period depictions, though they are often still registrable given their accessibility.
