Like quartering?

Unfortunately not. Because of what I'm working on, the empire's coat of arms had to come first. Although, the colors of the babies do represent the heraldic colors of the provinces they stand for.

Check out this link and look at all the different ways to draw a lion: A Complete Guide to Heraldry/Chapter 11 - Wikisource, the free online library

It's not so much HOW the lion is drawn but what the lion is DOING that's important. If the blazon says "lion rampant", the lion MUST have a hind leg on the ground while his other legs are in the air. It doesn't matter what it looks like.
