DaRadniz29 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 So for those that follow me, you might have remembered my Cranthem flags - yeah will that was a while ago. I'm still figuring out what story I want to tell, so I've been procrastinating by creating some visual items to help get the creativeness flowing again. I created a shield and sword:full sizeHere's the breakdown:Iron Shield: Created with a template I had, and then bump mapped it, and a beveled it a little. Then put a metal texture on it and added a marble texture to create an Iron look.full SizeSword: Created from scratch in Gimp. Used some pattern overlays, and some shine/chrome effects for the crossguard. The hilt is rounded rounded metal with a marble stone decorative interior, covered with leather grips. The blade is steel. Can't get the blade to look steel-looking without it looking flat. full sizeSo - the shield while cool, I feel like something is missing (but I can figure out what), and the gold border seems off to me.Second I also want to make another shield that's more the shiny steel looking.This shiny steel is also what I want the sword to look like (similar to the following one that I created a while back):full sizeThe hilt of this sword to me looks kind of like steel, but don't remember how I did it.C & C would be great. Looks good, but want to clean both the shield and swords up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRadniz29 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Are you planning on using any heraldry?Haven't decided yet. Still debating on how I would incorporate it into my story and what symbols to use. I do I have a couple symbols in mind though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
