Having tried both freehand and using the DA sword shoulder pad to do my chapter badge I'm not sure which is best. The sculpted pad looks more official and interesting but the shape of the sword makes it harder to see the star design behind. I also, rather surpisingly, found it easier to freehand the entire design instead of working round the sword that was already sculpted on.
Most importantly it is going to come down to what looks best. So which do people prefer?
Out of the pair of pictures I think the completely free handed version looks better, you've done a great job of it!
ReplyDeleteYour free handed pad does look a lot nicer.
ReplyDeleteCheers for the feedback guys, I think I agree!
ReplyDeleteIeuan, your chapter master looks fantastic now its painted up. I particularly like the object source lighting and the very tastefully done gore, just the right amount and not too ott!
James, I'm liking your DA they were my first ever army back in 2nd edition so I have a real soft spot for them. Can't wait to see them progress...
