Timelapse of a family coat of arms
For an overview of the process I have put all the photos of the project of the van Heeckeren family crest in a row , as a sort of timelapse. Read here about the entire development process.
Family crest completed
After this photo was taken, I added the polka dots and stripes on the shield signifying the color code for the gold and red of the Van Heeckeren's.
Crest stone with Van Heeckeren family coat of arms, Bentheimer sandstone, 120 cms wide It was a very interesting assignment, because the coat-of-arms are usually very lively depictions. Because I like it when a relief has a little volume, this one was carved about twelve centimetres (five inches) deep; This gave me the chance to undercut parts such as the tail and two front legs and especially to carve the helmet very open and voluminous. As a result, there is a very clear distinction between light and darkness.
The relief was carved out of Bentheimer sandstone, type Gildehaus. It is 120 cms in diameter and a total of 20 cms thick, of which the relief itself has 12 cms of depth.
