WIP Critique Shield.

[housecarl]

I've tried to do a lattice pattern on this Norman shield. I think the shadows need reinforcing, and a lot of tidying up. I haven't decided on the background colour yet. It's going to be either blue or red.

I think it looks good. Maybe should have done the background color first to save you some time.

 

[housecarl]

Thanks for having a look.
It was just a trial Mike, but I got carried away.
No doubt I'll come to regret it.
Carl.

Very dificult paint yellow but I think you do a good job.

Nice idea

Having looked at it, it's going tomorrow.
It doesn't look right with the boss off centre.
I should have started there, and worked out.
All good practice though.
Thanks for looking in,
Carl.

Carl
very well done, from the photo it doesn't look like it needs any tweeking.
I also like the black as it is.
Cheers

I'm far from an authority on shields, but I would leave it as is.

Nice tight work Carl but I think you're right that the design needs to use the boss as a starting point ... A shame as it looks really cool

 

[megroot]

Very good pattern and paintwork on this.

Thanks again for having a look. It's gone now, but I should have the replacement later.
I didn't like it off centre,
Carl.

The pattern looks really great Carl. You are right about the shadows. Some reinforcement will make everything pop up.

This is my fault for giving you those illustrations Carl, looking forward to seeing the repaint, the practice run was pretty good.
