Meeresfrüchte

And from all these 59 pages I like only a few drawings...

As I have said I really, really love the Narnia book series. And I have a soft spot for the Pevensie siblings. So I decided to draw their coat of arms – which does not follow the rule of tincture, since it's very early Middle Ages I guess... Anyway, it's canonically a red lion on the green background – per vert a gules lion. Caspian lately used a golden lion with the same green background.

I also wanted to create each sibling their own coat of arms using cadencies (hope it's the right term) which was a thing in England. Reversing tinctures for Susan. A silver lion for Lucy, since Caspian took the golden one and the white color... I could say something about the Bible and how Lucy represents Mary, mother of Jesus, and how white was one of her signature colors... but in fact white just looked better than other tinctures. Women could have used the family's emblem, but I wanted variety so – hey, why not! And a plain green shield with no charge for Edmund. It's not a usual britain brisure for a second son, I know, but it seems... humble? He is young, he made mistakes, but he is a good guy, not a villian. Also he is closer to magic than any of his siblings which makes him a bit misterious like the Green Knight? Anyway I think it suits the character.

Check also the black-and-white version! I love heraldic...
