PonchoSam Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I want to make an image of a custom guard shield. I used photoshop to remove the bear from the windhelm shield, and made it a fun color. I used illustrator to draw a cool animal for my shield, but now I'm having trouble with making it look weathered on to the shield. Right now the shield has a nice worn in look, but the animal is monotone, and doesn't really blend well. Could someone maybe help me with making the animal part look worn on to the shield?

xlcr Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) @PonchoSam, hi, if you look closely at the comparison shield images (old/new/worn) from these mods:Detailed Guard Shields and Banners by Dragten - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1916Hvergelmirs Shield Retexture - HSR by Hvergelmir - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7045Mega Shields by TheMalfazar - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19009GAME OF THRONES - House shields by P3dr0 aka Issae - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13663Shield Symbols for Redguard Knightly Orders by Posh Spaz - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16694you'll notice the modders effectively using airbrushing, blending, multiple texture layers, small details, and photoshop plugins to create texture images with authentic looking worn appearances, weathering, and embossed depth.As far as I can tell the modders are making these creations by hand and maybe borrowing certain images for retexturing lol.http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/1916-1-1322580133.jpghttp://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/7045-3-1330353154.gifhttp://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/19009-5-1340059347.jpghttp://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/19009-3-1340058839.jpg Edited July 7, 2012 by xlcr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
