In the shiny shield tutorial, I went step by step to create just what the name implies: a glossy shield.
I went on my own with the colors, and could get the shape down easily! This tutorial taught me some applications for using the muti-stroke function, and how to use gradients to create luster.
In this tutorial, i feel that I did well with creating the shape and applying the styles, but I struggled mightily with the high gloss section in the corner. The way the tutorial described it (with the multiply function), wasn't working, so I changed it up a little bit.
Instead of using a black-to white gradient with a layer mask, i just used a simple white-to-transparent gradient for the gloss. It was much easier and got the same effect.
After this, I would like to go more in-depth in creating both high and low glosses on different shaped surfaces both 2D and 3D.

VERY shiny :). Nice job extending this tutorial to a new shape that includes your name. Still not sure about the brown color...kinda looses its shine :( Maybe a lighter stroke on the type...just a thought.
