Wait shout out for me.....??

Nice! Good idea.

it looks just fine

Looks a little... TOO HD and realistic for Tf2... I still like it though! Just improve the textures

should be added but i just hope it doesnt cost lag since its very detailed kinda.

Way too detailed shield. Pretty, but more of an Elder Scroll look. Tone it down, make the gold more.. Austrailiumish perhaps. The emblems on there should be exaggerated and you can sacrafice some of that excessive scrolling along the borders to do it. This might be based on a real world thing, but you only need the general idea of that present. Too much detail is distracting. Although, too much Austrailium might be distracting too. -shrugs- Toy with it a bit.

It would be GREAT if you made the shield less detailed!

Communist has a good point. Brilliant!

that shield looks to bad ass for tf2

hitting at the right time should grant a reflect on grenades, rockets and other projectiles but have 50% less damage (it would be too op otherwise)

otherwise, looks good.

like other people have said, if you wanna get this in, you have to simplify the texture and make it more... TF2-y.

looks like a mayan calander

Good on you for great feedback.

You've got decent modeling potential, but like everyone else has said, you really gotta simplify the shield.
I think you'd enjoy sharing your work over at FacePunch, they've got some real nice people there who'd give you loads of advice on how to improve.
Here's a link to the latest TF2 Modding Emporium, in case you'd be interested in getting what's about as close to professional help as there can be.

Ok, hold tight folks, I've taken on board the comments about the texture, and I'm sorrting it out, bare with :)

Texture is terrible,Demoknights are terrible, and you are *not* terrible.

Love the Blackadder reference, but that texture is terrible.

I like the design. The only thing I think could be improved is the texture on the shield. It's a little too 'realisticly' textured for the world of tf2.
