That's not quite true, heh, I'd say that setting up the shield took 10 minutes, after about 10 minutes of finding a good shield texture and shield to hold it; taking the video took 1 or 2; setting up the name right took around 20 minutes, and setting up the item icon took another 15 minutes.

All around it probably took and hour, including breaks :-)

This means that ANet has to add this item in an obscure cave location of the game now right, like they did with the IDS (Coin Imps, if you could imagine such an atrocity)? If they do, I encourage Derek (furrypaw!) to use his powers more often.....

Seriously, if anyone has any ideas for some cool weapons or items, I can try my go at them, and we can hope that ANet gets the idea and copies me

Yeah. I just made the Item Description, took the video, and took the screenshots with the Elementalist in Red 15k Geomancers armor.

Kuntz just came up with the idea and copied the Terror Shield texture from the game into the shield. :-P

I didn't copy it, it was actually 3 textures edited into one shield (front & back). A direct copy would've looked bad because the face texture is actually pretty ugly unless spruced up. And I took the first screenshots & made the first movie =v

How do you change the textures in the game. I would love to make things look the way I want even if no one else can see.
