So we're refreshing, sprucing up, and generally fixing CoAs. a lot of the very old ones are not actually mapped properly... etc. There's a fine balance between improving our mod at all times, and also keeping things we're all familiar with.   Lannister is... not usually an issue, but it's very "flat" looking and the gold was pretty muddy. I was able to locate the original assets to give it a makeover, but I've also had another mod team member begging me to replace it. So I got way too obsessed and re-drew a lion rampant by hand like at least 5 times, a little more inspired by the style of the lion from the show (but 100% my own so there's zero copywrite concern). Even though I think "stick figure legs with a weird karate kick" (not my words) from the original sigil does seem a little weird... we're all used to it. And the recolor and pop makes them both look good to me. I do think I prefer the new one, but it's not a huge deal either way. Looking for opinions. |

Well i think that our current one looks like he is doing very angry karate kick so i'd rather opt for new one

Both are excellent - I really love how the gold pops so much more now and you can make out a lot more of the fine details now especially the mane - I have a slight preference for the original and its larger head but its pretty much a coin toss - both are a very good improvement on the already nice original

I think the right one is better but the head is too small.

one thing I should have probably mentioned is that the one on the right is probably going to wind up used for mixed sigil CoAs. since it's far less clunky I can fit it into different configurations easier, I think. though that's probably not a very big concern for anyone, I just like things to match.  |

This is very very nice love the crown - is that going on the main baratheon arms? |

One thing that I'm intrigued by is what should the top of the lion be lining up with - the antlers or the head of the stag - with it lining up with the antlers it kinda looks taller than the stag, but I guess it might wind up with too much empty space if it went off the top of the head? Shortening the lion would probably make the top foreleg of the lion line up with that of the stag a bit more I guess - are there any rules that might apply to this?   |
