Drawshield File:Blazon of Champion de Crespigny baronets, of Champion Lodge (1805).svg

Hi

Thanks for uploading File:Blazon of Champion de Crespigny baronets, of Champion Lodge (1805).svg

As you will have realised the 2nd and third quarters (2nd and 3rd azure three bars argent)look distorted.

A workaround on Drawshield that produces a better looking result is 2nd and 3rd barry of 7 azure and argent

You can see the result at https://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/Champion_de_Crespigny-17

I wish the lions in the 1st and 4th quarters were not distorted but ...

@Matilda: Thanks for getting in touch about this image from 2021. I have uploaded a new version at File:Escutcheon of the Champion de Crespigny baronets of Champion Lodge (1805).svg.

There are various improvements that can now be made, as Drawshield develops. On the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the blazon is definitely azure three bars argent, for Vierville de Vierville.[1] Using barrulets doesn't look good, so there is a limit to what I can do there.

The old image is now marked "superseded" on Commons. I am gradually providing replacements for Drawshield images such as this one. Charles Matthews (talk) 05:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - my father has managed to adjust the lions (I htink using Microsoft Paint) so an improved version at Wikitree:https://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/Champion_de_Crespigny-17-1

Drawshield is great but there can be limitations

Regards

Yes. There are people here who produce better shields with software, but I have covered a lot of ground with Drawshield. Charles Matthews (talk) 06:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
