Morris Van Rossum Request for Arms

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

My name is Morris Van Rossum.

If it so please the Squirrel King at Arms, I request the assistance of the College in procuring arms for me and my lawful heirs.

My favourite color is Green.

I have attached an idea below.

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

The field is pretty simple, but what is that black object?

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

It is an albatross.

[Ceváglh Scurznicol]

Why a black or silhouette albatross? Why not a real-colour albatross?

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

I like the stark contrast of the silhouette.

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

Sadly, you can't have color on color which is what this CoA does. However, I do believe we need to wait for Count Hooligan to accept the request and for Sir Mick to assign a collegian before getting into this too deeply.

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

But the albatross is outlined in white. Maybe my drawing didn't make it thick enough, but the sable is surrounded by argent.

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

But much of the argent fimbriation is on the argent portion of the field. Also, the silhouette of the albatross, particularly in that aspect, is not very recognisable. We'll have to try to find a more heraldic depiction.

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

Hum de hum hum....

I'd like to try and keep it albatross rampant in silhouette if I can

From and for The Royal Talossan College of Arms

Azul Morris --

As Squirrel King of Arms, I am pleased to accept your request for assistance in designing arms. I now charge the Penzance Pursuivant, Dean of the College, with assigning one of the Fellows of the College to provide that assistance in the final preparation of your proposed arms and the preparation of a petition that they should be granted by the Crown.

Azul !

In that I'm the Penzance Pursuivant, Dean of the College that was mentioned above.

Do you have a preference of which Fellow you would like to assist you in your Request?

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

I don't have a particular preference. Someone who has the time, I guess?

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

I'll assign a Fellow to your petition shortly.

I need to mention ahead of time that there might be a tincture problem with your design, as is.

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

I have asked The Jolly Good Fellow to assist you with your petition. He should be in contact with you shortly.

[Moritz Vandalutz d'Ialüm]

It is the color on color (sable and vert/azure), yes?
