Star/moonlike shield - asking for criticism and feedback

lotix

Hey! This is one of my very first models i'm working on for the DOTA 2 workshop (I'm fully aware there's a subforum for that, however i'm asking for feedback on design and technical part of my model So here we go! Screenies - http://imgur.com/3YXNSWw,fbaoz6I#1 (top view) - http://imgur.com/3YXNSWw,fbaoz6I#0 (angle) Blender file - http://www.mediafire.com/?8ml9hc24clrnp8f The circular part in the middle is not modeled in to anything particular yet. It's supposed to be back on the back on shield, with the top partially visible (i plan on putting on moonlike symbols on it) Any feedback or criticism much appreciated! (especially on technical side of things ) Cheers! EDIT: For some reason i'm unable to format my text

I don't play DOTA so I'm not too familiar with the art-style, but to me this feels way too simple. For starters it's too flat IMO, give it a bit more depth (like this (make it half-spherical depthwise)), doing this would make the shield more practical as it'd (presumably) be easier to deflect incoming attacks. I'd also add some kind of rim around the edges of the shield as that'll make it look more interesting (as well as reinforce it making it stronger).
