18th New Feature:

In most places where you can use a heraldic colour you can now also use the word "transparent", which, umm, makes things transparent. Initially my thought was so you could use it as the field colour so that only charges would be visible (instead of having to use "drawn in a square shape blonde..." which I have noticed people using to match the gallery background) but I wonder if it will be useful elsewhere. Only the body is transparent, so the stroke is still visible, as are any features that you give explicit colours too. (You can make ordinaries transparent but since they don't have strokes they just disappear...).

23rd Updates

Those charges which are also (or sometimes, only) available as "proper", with a fixed set of colours are now also included in the visual catalog, for example see https://drawshield.net/catalog/charges/crown/index.html . By request, I've also added a "legionary" as an (always proper) human charge.

I have added the treatments golpy and orangey and a more accurate plain bordure for the French shield shape
