I've chose a bull's head design for the shield motif, which I got from Little Big Men Studios who make decals for 28mm and 15mm wargamin' figures. They do have some nice designs, and are well worth a look if your stuck for one.
I painted in the field colour which was Vallejo 946 Dark Red, then drew in a rough guideline for the design with a pencil, makin' sure it sits equidistant on the shield.
Then with ultra thin paint I blocked in some colour, makin' little changes to the overall pencil drawn design. Its still rough and will need a lot more work with the two colours for refinement.
Once this step is finished I will outline and define the eyes, snout, nostrils, ears and horns with thinned black paint.
