I agree, but I wonder what "ENB" stands for and since some here mentioned the motif would be a tribute I wondered to what... I found that ENB is a Skyrim Mod, is it related to that?

Anyway, some of my friends voted for my design and afterwards they deleted the DS2-app from their FB account. In that case, their votes seem to get deleted, too. Is that true? I think it's actually a good thing, I just wondered if it's true...

ENB stands for EpicNameBro. He does gaming videos on YouTube, and of course Dark Souls. He's quite popular for them (they're professionally done, high quality, I'm not a fan but I understand why many are).

I'm not sure about the votes being deleted if the app is but that would be nice to avoid some potential tampering.

I am from the EU, so I can add 3 EU designs? (It rly confuses me)

I am looking forward to seeing all of the new designs that everyone is posting tonight. I am unable to view them at work. Some of the comments have peaked my interest.

Yeah, you're stuck with the circle shield designs for official entries. Before they added the contest to FB, (aka the first page of this thread) I entered some in the Japan/Asia template on the Japanese site and received confirmation emails. I assume, in the event they were selected I would be disqualified.

He was one of, if not the first, to upload English commentary of Dark Souls, as he lives in Japan and had a Japanese copy of the game. Over the last two years or so, his subscriber base has grown huge. He makes a lot of videos which are pretty enjoyable to watch, but sadly his fanbase (as fanbases are wont to do) takes it to the extreme and acts like we have him to thank for Dark Souls being as popular as it is.

I'm subscribed to him and I enjoy his videos, but I didn't vote on that shield, simply because I believe the person who made it is riding ENB's popularity in a very clever move, so that he can win a free copy of Dark Souls 2. (ENB didn't make the shield, and as far as I know, he hasn't even commented on it.)

'Tis part of the texture unfortunately, would have taken too long to make my own texture.

Opinions on me making the design in the centre gilded?By the centre I mean the ornate designs - it is supposed to be celtic-esque.

Another couple of designs I have thought of would be Dragon Eye ( Round shield with dragon eye texture and gilded outside.

The third one would be a design of a phoenix rising from ashes.

Well, I just went through this thread and voted for everyone's shield. As long as there was a link, I voted. Good luck to everyone. It would be great if someone from the forums won something for their hard work. There was a lot of great looking shields. A few of them already had 100+ votes!

cheers

Check please! this is my favorite game EVER
I ask if please can enter the application (the application is not a game, and asks for nothing) and give "vote" for my design! It costs nothing and every vote would help me!
Thank you very much in advance! big grin

@demon Thanks!
@glass Thank you, yea just this one, I'm working on another one though right now.
@Teh It's really nice, I think having it guilded and embossed more would be a nice touch to make it feel more strong and sturdy
@decay Lool why you linkin mine I was here before you.

I think it would be cool to get a standing list of all of the peoples shields on here. I went through and snagged all of them, maybe someone can double check if I missed any. I was going quick so I didn't get names, but hopefully this helps for people that just want to vote.

So here's the list in order up to now, maybe we can get a copy paste on the first post?

Also if you copy paste and edit this list, PLEASE PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ADD EVERYONE'S SHIELDS FROM THE LAST UPDATE POINT! THIS IS A COMMUNITY LIST! DON'T JUST ADD ONES YOU LIKE. NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND

LIST UPDATED 5/12/13 page 43

Awesome job Captain! That's a true Sunbro move. I'm gonna link your post over in the general topic Rant made. That way, if you update your list that one will link directly to it.
