New work made for relax, between exams. Dragon shield. I'm going to prepare LP and bake in my next free time.

Awesome shield. Hopefully Bethesda takes a more novel approach to some of their items like this in Skyrim compared to the fairly generic shields/armor in Oblivion. Did you base this off of a concept or were you just sketching in ZBrush?

MeintevdS · Jun 2011

Oh wow, that's awesome looking o.o If there is a concept, please show

Are you gonna make a lowpoly for it too?

uncle · Jun 2011

Skull looks little flat from the sideview, great execution tho.

skylebones · Jun 2011

Dude that is awesome! Really love it.

robin_64_bit · Jun 2011

Duuuude, this is going to to badass when you finish.. Are you going to paint it and render it?

I thought an indie company was making skyrim and bethesda was publishing it? Bethesdas working on Fallout 4. The skyrim engine is theirs though, so expect better graphics in F4.

Great shield dude

Dan! · Jun 2011

its awesome some color separation will help to pull the different elements out imo

As far as I'm aware Skyrim isn't being done by an indie company. I've never heard anything like that. Are you sure you're not thinking about Fallout: New Vegas?

Bad Azz. Can i has one to hang on my wall? Looking forward to seeing more.

All the information about the games were published in some article or wiki I read a few weeks ago. Skyrim is using Bethesdas new inhouse created engine, and said engine is also being used on Bethesdas "current" project, which is obviously Fallout 4.

They did the same thing with NV, obsidian used bethesdas engine (gamebryo at the time) to create new vegas and then bethesda published it.

They seem to be reaching out alot more nowadays

I can no longer find any evidence to support this so its possible the information was a lie. But bethesda is still working on an undercover project

Wow amazing sculpt man,looking forward to see how this develops !

Adam Curtis · Jun 2011

Fucking sweet. Do a matching sword, k thanks.

[HP] · Jun 2011

Amazing sculpt, good luck for the LP and bake! This will look amazing when finished.

Maph · Jun 2011

Love it! That is one seriously badass shield. Although the eyes are a bit "poppy" if you catch my drift. Y he has no eyelids?

woogity · Jun 2011

thats really wicked man! awesome concept, love the functionality pieces like the iron at the bottom and on the horns, the 5 sided nails are a nice touch too, some serious thought put into this piece, and it shows :thumbup::thumbup:

-Woog

mr_ace · Jun 2011

reall cool work

binopittan · Jun 2011

Maph.. maybe it's because the eye is some sort of jewel.

X-Convict · Jun 2011

Very cool!

Sean VanGorder · Jun 2011

Love it. Very unique.

XXXTHECHAD · Jun 2011

Really awesome sculpting man! I think the silhouette is weak on certain angles though. Would be nice to see you push the shape a bit more and some asymmetry would look baddass! Great work though man keep it up

Firebat · Jul 2011

Thank you for recap

Sorry for long time without answering, but I was on holidays.

Zipfinator: Thnx. First I painted really fast sketch in ps and then I started to sculpt...but it was terrible... so the second approach (current model) was made all in zbrush.

MeintevdS: Here is my initial sketch from ps. It is only idea, coz almost whole model was reorganized during the sculpt.

uncle: yup. There was no time to finish back.
skylebones: thnx.
robin_64_bit: thnx. Someday I'll make textures, but for now only Lp + Normal +Ao.
frell: Thnx
Dan!: Thnx.
OtrickP: Thnx for nice words.
g2000 : Thnx.
Massbot : Thnx
[HP]: Thnx
Maph: You are right. I didn't noticed it before.
woogity : Thnx

mr_ace: Thnx
binopittan: It's hard to see now, but when textures will be ready, eyes will be artificial. Some kind of glass sphere. It should look ok imo.

X-Convict: Thnx
SeanEG: Thnx
XXXTHECHAD: Thnx

I'm not really satisfied with the end result due to lack of time.

High Ress:

And bonus model:

D4V1DC · Jul 2011

Wow thanks! Awesome shield, if I have any time I will if I can make a fun texture for this just for the hell of It.

Good work!

MeintevdS · Jul 2011

I would totally use this shield if I found it in a game

Awesome work and thanks for the HP, I shall look at it when I get home from work.

seth. · Jul 2011

beautiful work, I second the call for a matching sword, it would be stunning.

DrunkShaman · Jul 2011

I always wonder how you guys get away with making refined stripes around the objects in zbrush. Do you use Zbrush topology tool, 3d program face extraction, or Topogun. =\

Awesome work by the way.

Stertman · Jul 2011

that highpoly is awesome! really sweet idea=)

line726 · Jul 2011

looking forward to see this coloured

michaelmilette · Jul 2011
