A medieval shield I am working on. It uses Diffuse, Normal, Specular, and reflection maps.

I would appreciate any critique, as I hope to improve on my methods.

do you have a tri limit for this? if not i would increase your edge loops around. Your nomal maps and all your texture work seem to go to waste when i see the silhouette. If you have a limit tho, I completely understand. Nice work.

really nice texturing work...

It may sound a little stupid but.. since you have spent some time on this texture and you have done the backside aswell, i guess it might be important.

Your backside and frontside doesnt fit to each other (unless the shield is made with two layers of wooden planks)
- if big headed rivets at the front and back sides are their counterparts, wooden planks at front are diagonal but at the back they are horizontal
- if big headed rivets at the front are counterparts of small rivets at the back, planks are not fitting each other again.

and few battle scars would make it look better i think.

p.s.: sorry for my poor english.

Thanks for the crits, guys. :)

Aipash: There was a pretty low poly limit. This was an entry to a quick game model contest, where the idea was to make textures that could beautify a very low poly model. The poly limit I think was 100. This has about 75.
