Wow, did you draw that? Great! Gave you a vote

OMG! Eminus I really like yours! Too bad i'm in the same area as you otherwise I might vote for yours

well, I did a bit of digging to base my idea on so its based on a really old classic image, there's a fair few kraken type images out there so its not really very original, just something ive always liked and thought would look interesting as a shield. Took a while to get it looking right, get the paint and wood effect etc but the kraken idea has been around forever

My first two are officially submitted for the NA template. I was gonna link here so people can vote for me but instead I'm going to recommend that you check out the NA shields and vote for the one you like the most. I checked out some of my competition and.....


I had fun participating

There are some seriously BA designs

Eminusx and Vegan666, you both did an amazing job. I think you guys have a decent shot judging by what I see so far.


EDIT: Also, there's already like, 50 f'n Kalameet shields. I didn't realize he was so popular

Thank you sir!

There are some seriously amazing designs! I'd be happy with a lot of them in the game!

Yeah. There's only a few I think would be bad additions in game. A lot are too heavily derived from source material, which is why I picked on the Kalameet shield surge. Usually in game gear is a little less obvious.

On a very happy note, both of my shields (linked below if you haven't seen them yet) have made it past the moderation step and debuted on page....wait for it...


13!


EDIT: Also, while I think I prefer the Large Bear shield, I would go apesh** to have the Vortex shield win. How awesome would it be to not only have my shield in the game, but my FACE! Keh heh heh heh

some truly great designs on the facebook page, really impressed!


some of my fav's so far!

I took a better look at the rules and I'm glad they're doing a two phase selection process. Now to get into the top 30 voted Greatshields.


Also, for any potential voters it's looking like you can vote for as many shields as you like. I gave a vote for Eminus, Vegan, a couple others and of course my own.

I really like the look of some of these shields...I wish I had the artistic talent to submit =(

damnit, some of them have quiet a few votes already, I might be done with mine in a couple of days. the tally shield is definitely my favorite so far though, whoever made it did an awesome job.

Yeah the Tally Shield really stands out to me in a "Soulsy" sorta way, just from the beat up look of it.

I'm kinda miffed that we're region locked into shield templates, I much prefer the JP shield template It's probably one of the reason why I'm not submitting anything, I dislike circular shields.

We need an oval shield lul

Meh, I much prefer the ol' Knight Shield shape, stuff like Sanctus or DeS Knight Shield really get me going are the best for me.

I totally don't get off on shields ._.

Knights actually use various types of shields depending on who outfits them and what role they fill in the army.

Greatshields, round shields, kite, etc.

my final shield. . .

The Painted Shield of Ariamis. . .

waiting for approval. . . tick tick tick

and finally. . . . the one that got away. . .Zardoz

imagine getting invaded by THIS!!!!
