Title: A shield for Lolitra
Post by: LigH on January 25, 2006, 01:37:02 pm

According to a dream sent by Celloran, the only way for Lolitra to defeat Hagarath seems to be a shield, made of crystal and silver, and empowered by three mages of different ways.

Here is a current proposal of its design:

... in action!
For not calling myself an \"artist\", finally an impressive result in my opinion. Many thanks to Verrliit for good advices.

Indeed it\'s impressive.
Even seems too perfect, looking at the joints so smooth, must have been an skilled blacksmith.
In my opinion it is really good, you can be very proud of it. The only doubt I have is: is this like an anagram? I mean it\'s a plain picture or a 3d modeled shield? whatever the answer is won\'t substract any merit to your work, but just having the chance to actually see that shield handled could give a better impression of how it fits with both the chars and the environment.
Congratulations, Ligh.

PS: A must have buy to anyone that enjoys having a tanned skin, without loosing protection. :P

You want a similar result in your own artwork? Then get to know Photoshop filters by Flaming Pear (http://www.flamingpear.com). In this case, most work was done by SuperBladePro.

No 3D models involved.

This is a great attempt at the shield that Lolitra is after... the one she needs has an area of polished Silver that acts like a mirror.  It also has gold embedded glyphs on that silver... and the viens in the crystal have silver bled into it....

but yes you have the idea.

Maybe this one is more like you expected it.

Please don\'t mind that I call this proposal a rather final. I won\'t edit it much more.

Good job @ Lolitra, Celorrim Purrty Twins
I think the shield it very very nice and I like the fact that it changes when she will be using it :)
@LigH OMG that is so very exquisite *jaw drops* I do like yours very much too :D I really like the teal and blue highlighting :P
*wonders if there will be more*

Hello

I\'m not too aware of the original concept or how well they match it, but these look very nice to me. Needless to say, pretty unique designs. :)

Being pictured from front view they would do good as a texture for 3d model. The backside would of course need some extra texture for straps or handle, but that\'s what the picture corners would be ideal for.

Nice work LigH.

Lolitra claps her paws together in glee... \'yes.. yes...  \' and flutters her eyelids \'um how much...?\'


Hagarath  \'uho.....\'


yes that is exactly what I had in mind.  Great Job well done!
