Please, if someone could correct this blazon, as English is not my first language and I am not very familiar with the heraldic formula in English.

Quarterly:

1st. Sable, a tower Argent issuant, and surmounted by an oak tree Or.

2nd. Argent, five hearts Gules arranged in saltire, and a label Sable.

3rd. Argent, a bear’s head Sable, langued Gules, and three gouttes Gules in base.

4th. As the first.

In Spanish it should be something like this:

Cuartelado.

1. De sable, una torre de plata naciente, sumada de un roble de oro.

2. De plata, cinco corazones de gules puestos en aspa y, un lambel de sable.

3. De plata, una cabeza de oso de sable lampasada de gules y, tres gotas de gules puestas en punta.

4. Igual al primero.

A simple representation of my arms, designed to be part of a bookplate. The motto is still missing, as I haven't decided on the font.

I'm debating whether to add more detail or not...

Experimenting a bit, I've tried quartering the coat of arms I've adopted as my personal one (already based on my father's heraldry), with the heraldry of my paternal lineage (which use was abandoned at the end of the 18th century) and with the coat of arms of my maternal lineage.

This was done with the help of a good friend whose knowledge of heraldic tradition far surpasses mine. It was his suggestion to incorporate the black brisure over my maternal arms, as my mother is not the firstborn.

I'm keeping the simpler design of my personal CoA, to use on things like my bookplate, for example...

But I like to bring back the heraldry of my paternal lineage and, in a way, incorporate that of my maternal lineage, since it has been maintained to this day.

I would love to hear your opinion on the design. I apologize for the poor quality of my sketches.

Having taken your advice into account, and after speaking with a historian whom I'm happy to call a friend, I've been experimenting a bit with my family heraldry.

I've arrived at a combination of my paternal linage CoA. my maternal family CoA. and the previous design for my personal arms (already inspired on my paternal linage heraldry).

It's just an idea; I'd like to hear your opinion. Apologies for the poor quality of the drawings; they're just sketches.
