    Haha yes, now i can see the ray (and it makes much more sense... ) Sorry, i kinda "read" the shield upside down. It seems the anteater just sprung of my feverish imagination. ... would be a cool totem animal nonetheless...

    As I said on other posts, I'm not the guy of the shields, but you did a really good work. The only thing I think it's not ok is the background, it doesn't seems to fit with the shields.

    That anteater looks like it's wearing a waistcoat! Sorry, that's completely unrelated to GWN's artwork, but I can't unsee it now.

    Alrighty, I finished the second set of three shields and changed the background (everyone was right, it was pretty terrible). Any suggestions that I can improve on before the challenge closes?

    Nice new shields, the one with the ship is real good.

    I really like the uniqueness of each shield in outside shape, color selection, and content. The boat one on the bottom is my favorite. I would suggest a different background; either no background at all, or something a bit more neutral, or maybe put them on top of a small piece of a map you've already made. The ripples and color are a bit distracting.

    The new shields are fantastic GWN. Great motives and lovely colors!

    Loved the shields, especially that Lotus Dragon one, but I still don't think this is a good background. As Coriolis said, what about something more neutral? Maybe just more light, I think this bg is too dark. More contrast will make the drawing better (I think).
