Shield Design Contest Discussion Thread

[Karbuncle]

No idea what dat modding has to do with this contest, stop being so self-defeatist! GL to you

Just mean to say people with .Datmodding experience or .dat editing (You know, Cool armor and such) have a lot of experience in these programs that they'd use to design such things! Like, Have you seen the "Imperial Rose" shield .dat? sh*ts bonkers awesome

They say in the OP that they will possibly edit our image, so if it's really cool but not possible to make into armor, they will alter it accordingly. I'd sooner put my money on a graphic designer winning over a dat modder.

Just making sure, are we only allowed to design a shield in the specific shape provided? I assume the purpose of limiting us strictly is so that the actual item will be able to fit on character models, but I'm wondering if I could, say, trim the edges a different way as long as it still fits within the grey area, or make a circular shield, etc.

Do we have to do one of each A and B (Both the blank + wireframe) or are we supposed to just do one?

Yes I'd like to know if it has to be this shape, the tabs on the top corners are kind of awkward to work with.

In regards to the wire frame, I think it's just there to give us an idea what the three dimensions are going to be.

True nuff, but most of the modding community are Graphic Design artists :P.

I have an Idea i'd really like to put into work... Think I'll do it when i get home. Its based on one of my Favorite jobs

Is there any way to find out if our submission got through and met all of the requirements? I'd like to know before it closes if possible, so that if I have to re-submit, I'm able to before the deadline!!

Thanks!
