Looks good, I'd say that you pretty much have some winners here. How about trying some colours other than the ones in the box though?

I always like to see the color schemes that the designer intended, so if you do.. definitally post them!

1) yes they are for a custom bad guys :D :twisted:


2) The very first shield was the color scheme I got off of the poster I looked at while drawing the desin on my computer.

I tried out the colors Freak gave me and added some of my own. And here are the results! There are 4 torsos and 4 shields.

Torso3 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/fores ... morred.gif

Torso4 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/fores ... ellow2.gif

Shield2 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/fores ... hield8.gif

Shield3 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/fores ... hield7.gif

I'm gonna print these out and see what they look out. If they turn out I will post pics. I have a digi camera but my Dad doesn't want me touching it without him around and he's at work right now so the pics at the earliest will be posted this evening :D Thanks for the great colors Freak!

I like the new shields - especially the gold dragon on the gray background. very nice.

the colors I gave you are no big deal, I just played with the slider under custom colors until I found what I liked, and then saved it. It's not like you wouldnt have done it on your own eventually :D

I love the colors you used on this one. It reminds me of those of the Fright Knights, which despite all of its shortcomings, had a great color scheme.
And again, great dragon. It looks so familiar, yet unique.

Err... I meant the palette of colours that's on the lower-left hand side in a typical Paint window, as opposed to the more custom ones using the "Colors" function on the top of the screen.

I like your designs because they are simple and yet still very cool. Also, sticker patterns like these would be great to put on blank Lego fig torsos like the torsos of the new KK2 knights.
