So I've put the tutorial aside, 1 week later and I feel I've learned little or nothing lol anywho, cant use this in my portfolio because it's based on a tutorial so I've started over making my own concept: NOTE: Please ignore the handle and central section, I havent begun painting those.

It's both challenging and fun but this is my progress so far: Im still learning how to add details to the metallic parts for…
Just saw this thread. Super cool man! Very flattered that you're working off that shield I did. Definitely tackling the sword is a good start though. Think about learning a new style or creating art like leveling up in a RPG. Make low level stuff (crates, tables, doors, swords, guns, etc) then build up to over the top…
