Hm. Castle Decals? What an interesting development...

Post by Chaotic Good »

And that is true. I haven't been frequenting CC for a couple of months now, let alone posted any figures or creations.

I thought I'd do so now, though, as I have enough re-created decals to venture them into a topic. Apologies if any have been done before.

So, without further ado; some Castle decals.

A recreation of the old Classic armour...

A new-ish shield decal...

And a jester face. Which I am quite proud of. :wink:

So...

How do they look? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to look at them.

Well, the classic armor has been done before, so it's like re-inventing the wheel... The crown shield is still relatively easy to get, so why decal?

the Jester face on the other hand.. Freakin' Sweet! great job with it!!

You may want to try your hand at your own designs. There are still a ton of decals out there just waiting to be made. :D Go through history books with pics, or your own take on fantasy designs!
I've always wanted to design the heraldry from a song of ice and fire by George RR Martin. (of course that would require me having the time to do so... alas.. too many hobbies, not enough time).

Do some custom work, or even recreations of classic designs (of cours Lamanda has a shedload of classics) and I am sure you'll get more responses.

That being said.. I love the Jester face!!! (it bore repeating)

What LegoFreak said sounded like a good idea.

Everything is really well done, and looks very accurate to the originals. I especially like the jester face.
Also, mixing parts of "remaked" designs can be cool to. I've seen a couple people here do it here, and it's turned out pretty good.

EDIT:I have a quick question. What program did you use to make those decals?

Yes, I think it is now time for me to move onto completely custom decals, agreed...

And I use Adobe Illustrator for my decals; and Drawplus4 for the jester face. :wink:
