Description
Continuing my tribute to Zelda...The Deku Shield! Made this afternoon while I was waiting for a different prop to dry. Made from layers of pink insulation foam that I shaped with a dremmel then painted with acrylics. Tomorrow I'll attach a leather strap to the back so it can be wielded and a loop at the top so it can be hung on the wall. Sadly the picture doesn't do it justice, I hate to toot my own horn, but the wooden texture is AWESOME in person
Tomorrow I may try to take a new picture in better light and hope it'll get some more of the detailed painting.Now available on etsy! [link]

I love it! Only thing that bugs me is the shield's shape is backwards. The red-painted part is great, along with the wood texture. c: Great work!

That must've taken a lot of patience, getting all the grooves in the "wood". Looks pretty dang good in the photo, so it must look amazing up close!

Very realistic indeed. I like the use of detail, as it is very heavy.
