stinkenheim Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 ok, i want your opinions on how im planning to do my shield. being bjorn stormwolf, i figured there should be lightning and such like. however i didnt want to just paint an image onto the shield, so using a technique i've been working on for a while now i decided to paint it as if it had been etched onto a bronze shield. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/shieldmockup.jpg i know its a bit of a rough mockup but i'd appreciate your opinions on it none the less Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180935-shield-design-for-my-wolf-lord/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander MindSight Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 What I would do is make the central wolf a bit bigger so Bjorn proudly displays his thunderwolf icon. The storm picture certainly works very well on the shield, have you considered making the lightning come from behind the wolf in a radial pattern? I have no idea what technique your going to actually use on the shield, so it's kind of hard for me to envision what it will actually look like. Like actually bronze or more of the flat orange color in you photoshop. I'd be a good idea to use a dark gray color on the wolf if your keeping the orange color. Congrats on the greenstuffing by the way, I want to see how this guy will turn out. ;) Make a tutorial. It's that good. Actually it's pretty simple. Take a storm picture, modify the with the Hue & Saturation filter. Cut out the shield shape with the ellipse tool. Add the wolf icon with slight opacity tuned down and add Bevel and Emboss filter to both objects. Done!

stinkenheim Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 ok, this is the best pic i could get of the shield as it stands... i think im gonna gve the wolf another coat of chainmail (and possibly a highlight of mithril) before glazing it with sepia again to get the copperish colour back. commetns please guys... oh the edge is gonna be goldish, brighter than the centre of the shield http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00792.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180935-shield-design-for-my-wolf-lord/#findComment-2145937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 That is INSANE! I can just bow my head in total awe. The shield is looking REALLY good, and with the edge moer gold, I think it will look even better!. I wish I could do that...

Gyson_Vore Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The shield looks great, but I think the wolf should be less perpendicular to the ground, just seems a little off to me.

Zemox Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I am personally going to come over and thrash you if you dare to ruin that design, if i wetrent sitting down when i saw the shield it would have knocked me of my feet, dude that is the most epic shield i have ever seen. Truly worth the wolves of fenris. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180935-shield-design-for-my-wolf-lord/#findComment-2146235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Looks better in the follow up shot. Initially in the first pic, the icon would've looked better more alligned with the arm behind it rather than what appeared to be a "nose up" angle. Like I said, in the follow up it looks much better. You'll HAVE to post some finished shots when you are done. Otherwise we'll hunt you down and destroy all your paint brushes, seriously.
