Having hit a bit of a wall with the orcs I've decided to turn my attention to their shields and I'm stumped as to what to do. I like the old arcane armorials decals but one thing has always bothered me - where do the orcs and goblins get so many talented painters and why do they spend there time painting shields? So then I was thinking something simpler, more along the lines of a white had or red eye (or something less more perhaps). Ot something simpler like viking or other dark age shields. Can't make up my mind.
But thats not all. What about the back of the shields? Obviously they are meant to be wooden but they are flat. Has anyone had any luck carving them to make them appear wooden? Or are there any tips for 3D efying a timber effect.
