Shield Design Contest

Hi everyone. Here is my Crown shield, please vote it if you want to see it in the game. I tried to achieve a more shinier shield that would bring a feeling of safety while wandering the near pitch black catacombs. Link is https://apps.facebook.com/darksoulsii/?gallery&action=view&id=2936

That's a cool design. Make sure to take a look through this thread for all our designs and throw some votes to the ones you like too (my sig also has a link to a compiled list of most of them).

I love it ^^ its nice to see shield designs that consider the symbolism of shelter and respite. I've thrown you a vote, also voted for all the newcomers yesterday and today, I wish you guys all the best.

Hi,
Thank you for the vote. I just checked a couple of pages of shield designs and gave votes. People have come up with some really spectacular shield designs.

Really cool shields, Rollo and Badshot. You guys definitely got my vote as well.

I just voted for the new shields as well. They look nice guys.

Hey everyone, this is my first submission to the contest - I figured I'd get thoughts from some fans that are really into the series. I hope I can earn some more votes if it really deserves it!

Edit: This is my 2nd submission

Ah I recognize those shields, I threw you a vote a little while back, but I still think it looks great =] and welcome to the forums!

I appreciate the welcome! I sort of want to push my art around more and I also want to be around for when people first start discovering stuff in dark souls this time around.

Also the vote button is borked for some apparently, my friend kept getting redirected to the main gallery page. There are so many problems lately but, whatever, it's been fun.

The contest does not work in all browsers. As example, when I use Safari browser at home the same thing happens. When I use Firefox it is fine.

Nice designs. We have an off topic section where you can post art that's not Dark Souls related. Hope to see you around and of course please take some time to look at the designs the rest of us have put together.

Wanted to post a pic so ppl can see what they're voting for:

Wow, sorry about it being huge!

its the tower shield!!! lol nice job dude.

Holy smokes that's an awesome design! I might go back to using greatshields in Dark Souls 2...

Wow, I like that too. I will vote.

My second design is much an improvement on my first and just got posted. All the bosses from DkS are stencilled and were hand drawn by myself onto the shield, with roses as a backdrop and some thorns in amongst them... hence the "Thorn in my side/Rose Shield" analagy.
Please do vote if it appeals to you guys

On another note: Dudes those tower shields are just awesome! Have voted already!

Votey votey Hal! I would definitely use this in game

@Scare: LMAO! Mate you are a diamond! I'm gonna throw you a +1 tomorrow as my voting station has closed for the day.. apparantly we are not adhering to Robert Mugabe's regime rules of "vote as many times as you like even if you are dead"

(PS: that needs a nerf!)

yep, I voted too, I like it a lot hali, it better have a fast parry though.

Lol....I'm sure that's in the liner notes of the design as a condition.

"Dear From,
This shield needs a fast parry animation or I shan't allow its use in your game.

Sincerely,
Halicarnassis"

Also, I don't need any more +1s.....too many more and it'll go to my head. Or right to my hips

@renegade I know!! if I don't get more votes in 5 days im just gonna give up, people keep voting for the first two pages and that's it, lame.
