Re: Delfador the great.

It could very easily be converted to pixelart, though. Cut all the pieces apart, color-reduce them into indexed mode, throw a few saturation and contrast filters, and do a few hand-drawn pixel-tweaks over the top, and then glue all the pieces together, and you'd have a pretty reasonably fitting spri...

Re: LordBob's random stuff : wraith

My biggest issue is that the sword's angles seem all wrong- like, the blade seems to be /perpendicular/ to the hilt, which itself seems to be somewhat rotated when compared with the handle. Here's a quick doodle to show what I mean:

Other notes: Consider doing some texture work on the TC'd shoulder armor and on the horns. Right now they're both a...

Re: Zero's art

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30179243/pixelart/wesnoth%20original%20works/moon_fairy.PNG I felt like messing with some old works, and thus revamped the old moon-shaman design. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30179243/pixelart/Wesnoth%20Original%20Works/northguard.PNG I also revised some ...

Re: Steelhive Faction feedback/balancing

Right now I'm looking at implementing, for starters, the Jade Alchemicals: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30179243/Pixelart/Wesnoth%20Original%20Works/Factions/Jade%20Alchemicals.PNG After that, there's a whole laundry list of factions that I'd need to finish the art for, but which are on the w...

That is a spine made out of gears. That particular anatomical feature is shared by all of the Lv2 and above units in that line.

Re: Steelhive Faction feedback/balancing

After a billion years or so of me procrastinating on the project, here's the new version of Steelhive- playable!- with updated graphics and everything. No animations yet, and the new Larva -> Cocoon -> Metamorph line is still missing, but otherwise I've tried to balance it for multiplayer gameplay. ...

Re: The Era of Myths art project thread

My old art shouldn't exactly be held up as an ideal design, and it certainly isn't perfect. Try to strive for a dynamic pose that shows off the human anatomy more- both of the cited examples above are really very boring as far as posture goes.

Re: Zero Changed The Thread's Title Because Zigg Told Him To

Any critiques would be nice. I'm thinking about putting a bit of the milky-way in the ...

Re: Where does this evolution of sprites lead?

Maybe it did work in the past, but it's not working in present. Maybe the quality standards weren't so high. New units with no animations are replacing animated ones, assuming that somebody will animate them once, but I don't see it happening. They can be easily staying on some fork to be pulled wh...

Re: Where does this evolution of sprites lead?

What, so you're complaining that we aren't animating fast enough? Just give it time, man. It's not like the older baseframes came into existence fully animated either, the animations were slowly accumulated over years and years of people chipping in bit by bit; go read some of the old Art Contributi...

Re: Will be Wesnoth forever 2D-only?

Wesnoth was originally conceived of as a 2D game, and the 2D-ness is, I'd imagine, rather fundamentally situated in its code. There's probably no plausible way to get Wesnoth to become a 3D game short of a complete sequel to the game. It's not like they tried to upgrade the original code of Mario in...

Re: Where does this evolution of sprites lead?

And you're waiting for somebody to animate them when there is only a very few people with the ability to create animations that meet your quality requirements (that is by the way keeping me from even trying to animate them). I have never seen anybody taking a unit, animating and you accepting it. I...

Re: Steelhive Faction feedback/balancing

Will this be updated for 1.11? I've got a graphically-revamped and statistically-rebalanced version sitting on my computer, right now. Whether it'll get released hinges mostly on how many NO I give and when I finish revamping graphics for the other 2-3-ish factions I intend to package with the reva...
