My very own coat of arms

Ive been making headway for the new project at University, in which i work with a team of three other people to make a 45 second animation, so my blog has been neglicted for a while. I will share it once it is finished, but for now enjoy my Coat of Arms…..


I designed my own contemporary coat of arms this week, Im rather proud of it myself.
-Blackbirds provide peace and affection for the home and family, and also I think blackbirds are funny to look at.
-The embellished lines around the bottom mean 'Clouds on Air'.
-The porthole is from my bedroom back at home, with a deep brown night sky in the centre. I like starry skies, and often we forget they're there at night.
-The violin is the instrument I play, and also makes up the shape of the crest in the centre.
-The orange colours mean 'persevierence' and relate to the colours of the blackbird.
And the words 'Esse Quam Videri' meaning 'to be, rather than to seem' which i think in modern terms means 'not to follow' (ergo. I am probably a hipster)

I will wear it with pride!!!

Nothing much has happened in the development of Lilith this week.


Random invented drawing of a guy in glasses, probably suffering from a cold or something.

\\\Fantasy Storyminds, Lets continue...


This is Childhood. His personality is always happy about life and always loves to play games. Often seen hanging upside-down from trees, it has come to the extent his own hair is stuck upwards. A knack for adventuring, he exists in the forest area of lilith's mind and happily joins her in exchange for a truly amazing adventure.

I'm satisfied with the left profile face. I also removed the top panel of the armour of that one to reveal more of the face from other angles.

I'm trying to think of an appropriate entity for this character. His personality is laid back, fairly sarcastic and he smokes a lot. When he's angry, his bitchiness becomes much worse, to an extent he himself starts to smoke. Oh and he wears a sweater/scalf. 


Some of the primarily sketches for childhood.
