Spend some time to remember those who gave all.

On an insignificant note, Brunor's home and the Heraldry Pages are down. The galleries and such will probably be placed on my website. Those that are interested may leave a message here or at Phenom Leonidas' for the URL.

Three new coats of arms have been added to the Historic Gallery. Thomas Boleyn and Thomas Parr from Henry VIII's reign are up.

Have been collecting info on Jeanne d'Arc and her contemporaries. The first coat, that of Jeanne, has been uploaded. This one needs to be re-done. The fleur-de-lys don't look right. They need to be re-drawn. May re-draw the crown as well to make it a little more simple.

Also, need to update biographical info.

Added three banners for Scarleth MacRoth's Templar Home and Gallery. The first two are transparent gifs which re-direct to the gallery, one for light and the other for dark backgrounds. The third is a jpeg image which re-directs to the Home page of Scarleth's. Here is the link:

The banners available here have had their drop shadow removed. The shadow did not look very well when placed on dark backgrounds. This is due primarily to the limitations of the 256 color palette used by a gif image.

The banners can be had here Brunor's Banners

Needed an upgrade to my aging Photoshop 4.0, but didn't want to spend the oodles of money for CS. Heard about PSP 9 beta being available, so I downloaded it and have been using it for about 3 weeks.

Liked it so much I bought version 8 with the free upgrade to 9 when it comes out. The selective undo is really cool. As are the art media layers, python scripting, the new selection modifying options, displacement maps, mixing palette, etc.

A significant improvement over PSP 7 and 8. I'll be using the art media in up coming coats of arms and may replace some of those I've already done.
