king_god_killer Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Lets say I was gonna make a game and I made some shields which one should I use[](http://imageshack.us)OR[](http://imageshack.us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zade_o Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 both of them kinda look like a book. But ummm, I would say the 2nd one because in the 1st one it looks like you show the straps on the back of the shield that keep the shield on your arm.

zade_o Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Also, it has a nice effect on wooden shields like that when you go to google, look up wood texture and get the wood grain pictures, and shrink them so that you can see the wood change colors etc. and fill your shield with that instead of solid brown.

Lenton Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The only difference between them both is just that handle thing. It was hardly worth comparing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_god_killer Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 well…thats why im gonna retry but the reason they look like books is cause i added depth (not much though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Obviously you don't know what depth is… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 @Kreator:> They are shields? They look more like… books or something.They even can't be called books, I call it: fail art, but that's my opinion.Regards, The Nameless One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zade_o Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I got another bit of advice if you're trying to create depth. I'm not sure what you use before…but on Photoshop CS2 I use the burn/dodge tools to put shading and highlights on art to create depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
