And the opposing force to HYDRA…
In all honesty, I'm not quite happy with this. I don't know what it is, but something feels wrong to me.

I love the shield. I might have to gripe about the texture used *behind* the shield though... I don't know, I just don't think it really fits in with the metallic texture of the shield itself.
That being said, the shield is still fucking brilliant. Great work!

John, I didn't just want to do a solid color, so I added a leather texture. It's not for the final of course, but there's something not right about the shield. It's weird. It just doesn't seem right. I don't know why.

Love the texture!!
Not sure if I like the screws in the ends of the stars though…
Also, the texture in the star & the blue circle the star is on is like seamless even though they're two different pieces, maybe it'd look better if the texture didn't match like it currently does…
Great work though!

Manolo, the "screws" in the ends of the stars are present in the movie version of the shield. :)

Paul grabbed my thinking too. I don't know a whole lot about the shield but I'm pretty sure it curves.

I'm inclined to agree that the shield looks a little flat and not domey enough.

Louie, Oh. I did see the trailer, but as you may have noticed, I didn't really pay much attention :p My bad. haha

America. Fuck yeah.
I actually don't mind its non-domey-ness, although domification would probably make it even better.

Looking at the official movie site photos, I'd have to say that your shield is a bit too shiny. Just a bit. Other than that, I'd say it looks good - first version is better that the second.

Very nice shot Louie! Stunning & realistic design. I prefer this version, more deep.

your right there is something about it. Doesn't give that shield point. Texture looking flat, but all in all.. amazing design
