ANSTHRLD - Requesting Achievement Assistance

[Russell Rischard]

Ulf, thanks for the quick turnaround on the comments,

I obviously don't know my left from my right.  I would like the sides of the
lion and the man reversed. but otherwise this is pretty close for the medium you
are drawing in.

Secondly, the field of my arms is Purpure and Vert, and they contrast quite well
across a field, thank you very much.
