I don?t see other work in progress topics in this section but I got a little lost browsing so if this is in the wrong place then please accept my apologies.

I felt reluctant to post my current larger WIPz as its going to be a while until they will be even remotely near completion but with this one I should be done much sooner, maybe a couple of week to a month max so without further ado.

Some people might remember/know about my Chrome Dwarven set although not many so I was thinking of updating that shortly when I decided to make a new Chrome set from other pieces I like, mainly Ebony although I am swapping out the stock Ebony helmets and shields meshes for others I prefer.

The shield has been started today so here is how it looks just now, I am not planning to rush this set in the least so its not one of my 24 caffeine fuelled hours WIPz to RELz jobs.

Shield ? overall shot
Shield ? detail shot

Large shots but it?s a large shield.  

Not finished of course but it?s a wip thread so?

[Badmagic]

20+ views and no posts, your going to make me self conscious, anyway, I couldn?t be bothered to work on the shield today so I started the helmet instead, it?s roughly 30-40% done so I took a couple of screens, I shrunk these ones for more user friendly download sizes.

360˚ Daylight
90˚ Moonlight

Both the shield and helmet are very nice, I wish my graphics card would allow full res. and detail. Keep up the great work and it might make me buy a better graphic card.

Thanks ronin69hof, glad you like them.

Back to why I was here.

Helmets done.

Helmet - large texture shot.
Helmet - spotlight back lit.
Helmet - spotlight front lit.

Nice BM, I love the helmet! I don't want to be a pain, but when you do an update, please edit the first post for when you started the topic, it makes it way easier to see all the work. =)

Wow, that shield looks simply awesome! I love the helmet too, but the shield tops it all.

[Sir-Kill]

do you have hdri on when taking the screens?
it seems like the cuirass is bright but not as shiny as it could be. do you have the specular and gloss tweak enough?

good work so far

[kalia]

Gorgeous! It's all sooo shiny, but others are right - that shield is simply mind-blowingly awesome.

[Invader13]

Love the shield and the helmet, but especially the shield.
