Simple Shields
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm a big fan of neat, simple shields.

I despise overdone shields. See red heart shield, new HSOD, etc.

I like this, I wanted to call it the Zormite Shield of Sacrifice and have it as a kingdom item with AC + 2 WIS + 1 POW + 2

But I doubt that will happen ;)

Comments?

Decent shape, but it looks flat.
Also, with stats like that, where's the sacrifice?

Zero Hour 01-31-2006 04:22 PM

Yea, pretty flat looking. You should try to consider the materials it's made of when you color it so that the texture is represented.

Tom 01-31-2006 06:15 PM

Exactly what zero said.
Also, dont forget about light directions, and reflection ^_^ Those give it shape also.

Draenin 01-31-2006 07:27 PM

It's very off from what the Zormite shield's colors should be.

Matthew White 01-31-2006 08:25 PM

Thanks for the input, anyone else have any simple stuff? Maybe I should start a minimalism thread : P

Matthew White 01-31-2006 08:27 PM

Also I suppose the sacrifice would be the fact that it's AC is rather pitiful in comparison to other shields.

Actually, AC+2 with two stats is insane by most methods they have adopted on GK.

Draenin 01-31-2006 09:14 PM

Indeed.

A simple remake, all though I really like your shield of "sacrafice" *cough*

When im home ill add some shading.

Matthew White 02-01-2006 04:06 AM

Neat, except I liked the darker color, the bright red is almost painful. Perhaps the shading might help that, but I like the hinge-like corners.

OasaTor_PK 02-01-2006 04:34 AM

Version 2.

It's lost some of its simplicity, but actually, I like it a lot. This one deserves some attention indeed, nice work.

Zero Hour 02-01-2006 05:23 AM

I hate them both more than the original, OasaTor. <3 sorry

Is the reason, or are you just being arrogant. Please tell me what there is to improve/remove.

I don't know why, but it reminded of me of the mirror shield.

Strangely enough, I can't say exactly what it is I dislike. Sorry :frown:

Draenin 02-01-2006 06:09 AM

Maybe the fact that it's missing a "FOR MOTHER ZORMITE."

Matthew White 02-01-2006 06:12 AM

EVERY Zormite shield is missing a zormite component.

Draenin 02-01-2006 06:17 AM

Untrue. The Zormite Shield is supposed to look like a shell or scale, while the Zormite Shield of Honor is supposed to feature a small shell, but someone kind of got it wrong on the top end.

You're joking, yes?

Draenin 02-01-2006 06:36 AM

'Fraid not, buccaroo. It would only make sense.

It was purposely made a Fleur de lise.

CidNight1142 02-01-2006 06:40 AM

why the fleur de lise by the way? I thought it was zormite not the boy scouts.

It's a sign of royalty, and honour - although the French pretty much iconized it.

Matthew White 02-01-2006 06:49 AM

Also, I'd like to work on a pair of boots. Zormite's Flippers (Speed + 10 when in water)

Draenin 02-01-2006 07:07 AM

As if the deep water ricocheting effect isn't enough. :whatever:

Matthew White 02-01-2006 07:16 AM

Well, flippers would be hawt.
