Dynath: Shoulder Pads Update 10-5-2012

So it's been a while since I gave an update on shoulder pads. As you may know Games Workshop has given me an infringement notice regarding my shoulder pad designs. As a result these and my past shoulder pad designs will not be included in my public gallery on shapeways. Though I have no evidence that I am actually inviolation of any intellectual property owned by Games Workshop I am complying with their demands.

Then why am I doing them? well mostly because I firmly believe they need to be done. No one has done them so I want to do them. Further, if you've been following the GW vs Chapterhousestudios lawsuit you may also be aware that CHS has argued that the design of the shoulder pads and most if not all the icons involved are not protected under copyright or trademark law. If true one day I might be able to share these designs publicly again. More over, it's also a challenge I set for myself, and though I can't list them in my public gallery I can still test my skills by meeting this challenge head on.

Its also been called to my attention that most of the shoulder pads I've done are "left hand" shoulder pads. I really hadn't noticed this, if an icon on the shoulder pads is reversed let me know and I'll try and correct it when I get a chance. I believe most of the issue arises from the fact that its hard to determine right or left in a 3d software.

Please send Inquires about my projects, requests for commissions, and questions or comments to me on shapeways.com/shops/dynath or as comments on my blog or to my email dynath@gmail.com. I may not respond immediately but I do my best to get a hold of people.

Emperor's Children (evil) - its got the slaanesh icon behind it but you can barely make it out, might redo this on eventually.

Emperor's Spears - a trident is not a spear...

Emperor's Storm - no icon - tried to make a cloud raining spears of lightning but it looked too chaosy so i dropped it, might do a custom icon later.

Emperor's Warbringers - I believe this is the same as the sable swords and the white swords chapters

Emperor's Wolves - no icon - we really need another loyalist wolf chapter that badly?

Empire of Decay (custom icon/chapter) the icon is an altered version of the "raptors" sports team icon.
