took a break from the shield and just started doodle something and it turned out like this. day 4. Will continue on the shield tomorrow (later today :S). Yeah will try adding som stuff from the sword to the shield so the look like a pair. Hah, digg that wierd helmet.
Here's an update regarding the shields! Just one more shield to go which I would like to put at the foreront to replace the shield leaning on the anvil. This will have more heraldry and look unique, as if a recent work by the blacksmith.
Yo dawg i heard you like shields, so we put shields in your shields, so you can defend while you defend. Love those building concepts dude, keep them coming :D
I found this tutorial a while ago that I used when I wanted to make the shield. It's a Photoshop tutorial but the workflow method can be applied to creating your texture base for the shield itself. http://abduzeedo.com/captain-america-shield-photoshop
Huzzah! I believe I have the shield all finished Here's a detail of the texture - an area that I was pretty happy with. Just all of poppy's shields side by side by side to compare for style And a quick shot of poppy with the new shield in place.
@Amile Duan: Much Appreciated, thanks for taking the time to check out my thread :3 Head: This is going to be a bit of a general update, I've changed/added a few bits.

Looks like you're starting off on the right foot. I'm glad you're just using Artyom Vlaskin's shields as inspiration, everyone is making those shields these days! You also get points for not simply replicating the shield in the tutorial, everyone should do this! (and everyone should delete the damaged pillar from their…
Thanks for your opinion. Do you dislike the shape of the shield - that it is round instead of a more 'triangular' one? As for colors they are straight from the DK palette. If you check out other shields you will notice that no other shield resembles the 'color hotspots' of the original.
Nice shield. Reminds me of how the first 3d object I ever made that I felt worth saving was a shield......hmm...hm...arrgh you damn polycounters always make me feel like I suck :'(... nice shield. btw
