Im looking for a photoshop constructed Castle Age Shield, a made a quick sketch in Ms Paint.. of the type of shield im lookin for.. please help me out with the construction of it... i cant find a way to make a nice design in photoshop

Squeeze

are asking how to make the shape of the shield or how to make everything of a shield?

edit. heres a shield i did a while ago....something like this?

realneed4speed

well.. i just need a shape... and how u make it u can tell if u want to..

Squeeze

well I made the one above using the pen tool for the shape, then I converted the path that was made using the pen tool to a selection.

I then used the selection to fill a layer with a light gray/dark gray reflected gradient. That was the basis of my shield. I then started texturing, adding details, with the paintbrush on successive layers.

I then used Hue/sat (colourised option checked) to add colour.

Finally I added a drop shadow, and a layer at the very top with a white to black linear gradient, layer mode soft light to add some more lighting.

hope that helps
