[ANSTHRLD] Eldwin's Submission II Version 2

[karadelph at aol.com]

A good rule of thumb for anything that is going to be seen from a distance. Draw, color, print it out hang it on the wall. Turn with your back to it standing about 20 ft away and quickly turn to look at it and back away.  If you can truly say you know what it said or looked like its probably at least good contrast. Now stop everyone going by and do the same thing if they can't tell you what it said or what it looked like go back to the drawing board.

Concerning having purpure on azure, that does bring up another issue specifically witht he mermaid in your depiction

The concern relates to your choice of purpure shade.  Specifically there likely will be complaints that it is not a good heraldic purple. (see crayola markers as a good exemplar).  With a more standard version of purple the tail could lose identifiability against the azure background.  It is possible it might get returned for that reason also.

Sorry, but I am trying to help you identify and address all potential issues not before anything gets into submission.
