May I ask which sources you artists are using for the patterns? Books? Greek pottery? Something else?

Stan` Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Depends on the patterns. Some were remade from scratch using vases some are just animals vectorized. Some come from the old shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I noticed you gave the Athenian heroes much less interesting shield patterns. Themistocles just gets the standard champion shield and Pericles a generic blurry winged horse texture?

Stan` Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 The uniform patterns are easy to do (the fist line, the two left ones on second +, dolphin plus the last too on the last line) with those patterns you can easily bake new ones. eye and orcomeno are a bit harder and the hardest would be the purple one.

I find the Hoplons with Boeotian shield painted on interesting; the coins i found are a bit unclear on whetever they are depicting a pattern on a round shield, or if actual Boeotian shields were still in use.
