Poll: like or dislike for these shoulders?

I was counting on more negative reaction. Yes, I know - my work is always high quality. But this does not negate their weaknesses. Treat it as a work from blizzard.

anyway, after talking with my teammates, we have made the following decisions:

Helmet + chest - Good

Shoulders + chest - Good

Shoulders + Helmet = Bad

Because layout of the armor is the same as that in Sunwell Plateu:

Leather: Rogue\Druid

Cloth: Priest\Mage\Warlock

Mail: Shaman\Hunter

Plate: Warrior\Paladin\Death Knight

armor should had union design. However, I was faced with difficulties, which outlined in head of the topic.

New result:

 

 

 

and yes, thanks for the votes, but in the future try to be more critical

I really like the armor set. I prefer the second shoulders (with the horns) when it comes to a complete set. What I think though, is that seeing that it is an "emerald dream" inspired set, I really liked the curly rounded points on the shoulders, it really gave it an emerald dream feel.

 

The downside to that, is that as you said, it didn't go with the helm at all. I just feel that with both the helm and the shoulders having horns, it sort of loses the emerald dream feeling to it (not sure if this is what you intended to do or not.. I'm assuming you are). 

 

Have you tried keeping the original shoulders and changing the helm instead? Maybe changing the horns to curly points too would make it look good with the shoulders, and also keep the emerald dream feel to it.

 

Just my two cents, either way, the armor is still awesome.

I thought about it, but the final decision was influenced by two things:

1. I agree with this opinion

 

2. As all the models I make alone, I hard enough to spend time on versions "unique for class" of shoulders\helmets

\\

initial version of shoulders possible be left as non-set item, but because then I'd have to do it for cloth, mail and plate. in addition, these shoulders will not be combined with the helmet.

Well Vellear, for me it was like "Mhm, its OK I guess" and I was just not sure what would I do to make this set look better. When you came up with that second version with horns, it immediately became pretty obvious, that shoulders didn't match helmet very well. But like I said, I was pretty unsure what was wrong. I guess there are not many designers really experienced in designing armor sets.

I beginner armor designer, and I often dissatisfied with my work. But sometimes they look like "Okay, at least not so bad". But sometimes "something is wrong, but I can not understand what" Then I ask other people's opinions. But now I can only say that I brought this armor to its logical conclusion, or almost ...

my rate 7 of 10.

For all the armor sets will be made only 3 items: Head, Shoulders and Chest. It is due to the previous experience of armor development.

in the future, if it will be necessary - I can finish the armor, with boots, gloves and pants\kilt.

leather :(

Ok, I'm sorry :D
Just I prefer to see some much more... common leather sets, maybe. I've thought about plate or leather armor because of the mask and one element on the shoulders. They look like things made from some kind of metal, not from leather. 
And the waist seems to be a plate armor too, as i think. Try to use the green color instead of silver here and maybe add some symbols and green crystals from the chest.

Imho, shoulders v1 were better than the new ones, because the horns make them  really big and I've always been annoyed by how unrealistically big shoulders from blizz are. But thats just a point of view. If you stay with the newer version, I'd suggest rotating the horns down, so they cover the shoulders more closely.

or not

How can you speak about realistic armor when facing such "helmet"? :D
