Description "Full Title: Paladin Tier Armor - Frozen Crusade"

I don't play World of Warcraft anymore, but I was part of a guild that raided Naxxramas, 2 Drakes and the rest of the instances. One day our main Paladin DPSer was complaining about the design of the Paladin tier armor, how it looked like a suit from transformers and what-not. Although I agree to some extent, I'm still a big fan of the armor designs coming from Blizzard, atleast they're unique.

So, here's my tribute. It's based on the Tier 2 armor named "Judgement", the one that's considered the best looking of all amor designs (especially in regards to the other paladin sets), and I couldn't agree more. So for that reason I attempted to renew the concept once more.

I'm aware that the leggings looks pretty horrible, I was considering going with a cloak, like the original does, but I didn't want to copy too much from it, but now in hindsight I think it would have been a better call.

Also the values are pretty simple, I just more or less wanted to give it a better render in order to locate contrast and value in the armor, I personally haven't settled with a color scheme yet, but probably something with light blue.

Yeah, that'd be awesome.

But no matter, I can hopefully recycle the concept some other time in the future.

great design, i think the shoulders are a bit over the top.. personally i liked the T2 set.. didnt make you look like a member of Gwar and yet still looked epic.

Hmm, yeah. If you compare it to normal concept designs then yeah, the shoulders are probably a bit much. But I did design it with the art direction of Blizzard in mind, and we all know how they love to exaggerate when it comes to armor. Can't say I don't like huge armor plates and weaponry myself, though.

And damn, you're right. I meant Tier 2 the Judgement set, but I wrote Tier 3. Gonna go and fix it now.

Well, dunno. Can't say I'm keeping up with the general opinion of what's defined as "cool" or not.
And in my ears "geek" and "nerd" goes somewhat hand in hand, but I guess there is a distinction there somewhere.
