[Ansteorra] looking for a bit of heraldic art...

[Paul DeLisle]

That's "salient guardant" (i.e. "leaping, facing front".)
She is looking for "sejant guardant erect" (sitting, facing front, upper
body raised.) 

Not the same thing at all.

I would suggest engaging an heraldic Artist, and getting it drawn for you.

War thread...)
