Example coat of arms with a helm & mantling.

The new version of the Coat of Arms Studio has been released! It includes about 50 new charges (a couple creatures but mostly other things such as leaves, a key, staffs, bells, weapons) and several other revised charges. The new charges are those without thumbnail pictures in the software, which will be added shortly. (Screenshot also coming later today.)

For those with the pro version, you can now add Helms, Mantling, Supporters, and other parts of a full achievement! Simply click the green box in the software and choose “Add a Supporter” for supporter or “Add Mantling” for mantling, a torse and helms. The new version is .83 (go to the Help menu and choose “About” to check the version) and pro users should get it automatically. If you don’t get it automatically, simply visit the same download page where you installed it before or email support: support at inkwellideas dot com.
