SOTE Shield Maiden

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
Shield Maidens are basic melee infantry of the Sisters of the Empire, can learn Defend and Evasion. Can be trained at the Rafaela's Garden.

Despite some trials and errors, I replaced the HE Archer's death sound, blood, and footprints with Female Villager's one. To make it less Thalassian and more Human appearance, the Emissive is full black, the Elven ears removed and placed with a Female Villager one.

LORE:
Shield Maidens are primary melee units of the Sisterhood, aside from Bow Maidens, they are armed with swords and kite shields that will prepare for anything. Unlike their counterparts such as the Republic Legionary, the Imperial Footman, and the Elven Swordsman, the Shield Maiden is moderately armored and less powerful, yet highly mobile and agile in terms of combat.

Update on 09/01/21: The attack, stand ready, and defend animation is fixed with the sword and shield will not be shaken during the play.

Quite a nice concept overall, while there are quite a few Night Elf female warriors, there aren't many High Elf ones. Armor texture and recolor is rather well done and the model can definitely be useful. However for approval you need to do some...

However for approval you need to do some edits/improvements:
  • The shield has to be redone because the 3D element is in the way of the Venus sign (you could try to use the round buckler thing in the shield with your custom texture, like we did for our Elven knights: Elven Knights). It's metal retexture is also not that great, try making it darker at least
  • Weapon and Shield bones are moving like crazy in some animations. You can fix this by adding another set of weapon+shield attached to arm bones and only show the original weapon+shield in death and decay animations. See how we did this here with @Mr Ogre man 's trick: Wildhammer Captain

Ok, let me think about the weapon animation. So it will not be shaking.
