Free (non-AI) Coat of Arms artwork for games

Ok, I’m back with more free tools to make art. Not long ago, I was chatting privately with another author and shared this tool.

Armoria is a free tool for generating noble heraldry, basically those cool designs which knights and nobles wear on their shields and put up on the castle walls in medieval times. Medieval fantasy is popular in CoG town, so this tool is hopefully relevant to some projects here.

Feel free to roll the generator to create as many designs as you can, and find one to your liking. This tool uses Procedural Generation to create different designs and is not AI.

The tool is free to use under the MIT License. That said, remember to check the licenses of the individual elements. If it uses any CC license besides CC0, it needs to be attributed, and if it is CC BY-NC-SA. it cannot be used commercially.

EXAMPLES::

Examples

:down_arrow: Not allowed for commercial use, as it is CC BY-NC SA :down_arrow:

:down_arrow: Allowed for commercial use, but must be credited under CC BY-SA :down_arrow:

:down_arrow: Public domain. Can be used commercially without credit. :down_arrow:

OTHER OPTIONS:

There is also CoAMaker, which is another free tool for making coat of arms. (But note that CoAMaker is only allowed for non-commercial use unless you buy a commercial license.)

Feel free to share other similar tools you know of. If you wish to share generative AI tools, I won’t stop you, but please disclose it clearly.

Oh, this is cool! Perfect for brainstorming. (I prefer drawing the final ones myself, but I can get stuck in designing phase.)

I quite like drawshield for messing about with coats of arms

It takes a bit of getting used to, but it is really good once you know how to work it
