simple displacement mapping
and other maps: refamb, bump, specular, rayrefl
I will upload the textures!
The face drawed on paper with pen. 5 minutes of work, simple line art.
I scanned it and make maps with simple Photoshop effects: blur, color curves etc…
So the model and the textures: 30 minutes of work.
Material setting: hours… 
:o … the hell … 
that’s so cooool wow!
First time I actually liked a shield, man that is origional. Great work man. Both renders are really very cool. Sorry, but no critics. (Perhaps a fella holding it…)
Awesome shield!
I prefer a brand-new shining shield, but this one seems to be used a lot of times in battle.
Anyway, can you post a picture without damage? I would appreciate it.
Great model endi!
Not sure I like the image compression, but that is all I can find with it.
BgDM
HOLY MOLY!
I love it!
Looks great! :o
I am just not sure, if it’s really moddeled or if its painted and nor/disp-mapped…
If it’s modeled, could you make a render where you can see that awesom shield from the side?
ponder normalmapping?

I like it.
I agree with the CGtalk thread’s first reply.
Could we get a side view?
Here is my pathetic shield inspiration…lol. 
I don’t realy think it’s nice to post your own pictures so big in anotherones thread. It’s better if you change it to a thumb-nail!
, opps, sorry, I wasn’t thinking. My bad endi.
I removed it…
He did invite others to try. I would like to see it.
Indeed, please do post it, it would be interesting to see for everybody and Endi said to try and make an other or better one.
