Shield Design Contest

Is there anyway to check the shields in competition whitout having facebook?

@Amos, It took 2 full days for my submission to show up, but I also submitted late on Friday so it might have been slower over the weekend.

Not really. This thread has a lot of designs embedded but to see how they're doing or see more designs than that, you need Facebook as far as I know.

The shields that were approved 2 days ago appear to be the last batch that they approved. If you view by date, the most recent approvals have not changed for a while. My first 2 were approved overnight.

Same thing. My first shield was approved overnight, but my second one is still pending. I uploaded them at separate times.

my first shield got denied 3 times cuz i didnt follow outline exactly heh..

we have shield rising in the ranks! CaptainSunBro at 103 votes!

Then i saw DrAwk and skarekrow in the 20s along with myself, I wish there were more contest like this

Every time I see your Emotional Wall Shield, it reminds me of the room in Silent Hill 2 when you first meet the Abstract Daddy!

Abstract Daddy cutscene

That alone was enough to get my vote!

A little off topic, but that was an awesome part of Silent Hill 2. I love that game. That is all.

silent hill 2 was amazing! after really thinking about my favorite horror game the number one spot has to go to silent hill 2, with resident evil 2 coming VERY close.

I never played Silent Hill but RE2 was pretty sweet.

So how about all those plagiarized shields?

"Astra" has simply changed the hue of a Dr Who image https://2img.net/h/oi38.tinypic.com/350l09d.jpg
"Maximus Crest" is using a copy/pasted image of the Russian coat of arms. https://2img.net/h/oi37.tinypic.com/1h3xci.jpg
"Shield of the Arch Tree" is using an edited version of a tattoo design. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=hum26a&s=4
"Good Luck I'm Behind a Shield" is basically this http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=fp8imf&s=4
"Shield of the Chieftain" has copy/pasted one of the archstones from Demon's Souls. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=aagd1d&s=4

And all of them are higher than mine! Although I must admit, I do like the Arch Tree shield.

thats some whack money Silver.... we need to take them out of the races

Nah I think they will be disqualified anyway. The company's staff is not stupid nor inexperienced. Just saying, no offence. If any fan sees or thinks it could be a plagiarism, of course the company checks it out, too. But it's something else if they remove them and don't replace the removed ones with the entries after 30. This wouldn't be just fair!

Mann...that's kinda disappointing. I remember seeing that Astra shield in the beginning and thinking how awesome it is. I voted for it too >.<

And does anyone know if it's just Namco that's keeping track of all this? Because i'm sure From would make sure the shields that deserve it were given a chance even if they weren't in the top 30. Bandai i'm not so sure about...

looks pretty awesome amos, voted!

As did I! Great job Amos

Haha thank you, I reckon your shields are pretty damn cool too

I voted for yours as well, Amos. Looks really good.

In case anyone wanted a layered photoshop file for a template. I created this.

It has lighting effects, bevel, etc. I figured since I am not making anymore if someone wanted to use this as a starting point they are more than welcome.

<-- Hugs

You deserve some digital hugs. If only I didn't submit three already

Ah maaannnn!! And here I am still hand drawing my shield! I'm not even gonna get a chance to add it to paint shop until Sunday. Its taking me ages to draw by hand... I thought about plagarising something from online but decided to go for something original... Circle shield design

@Baal: If you could layer a cirle shield design I'll be most appreciative

the only real voting system is the japanese one, here you send your design directly to FROM and they decide which shield will make it. this fb voting system is just a shame for darksouls! look at the last winners, the only good looking shield is the japanese sanctus shield. all others look very ugly. but hey, fb makes everything nowadays, sad but true.

btw: some of you made really good designs, hope one of you will win.

the other shield got approved, check it out and please vote guys!!
