Saurian Augur Portrait (in progress)
Hello again, everyone.
I've been out of touch with Wesnoth for a while, but I'd like to get back into the portrait game. Currently, I'm filling one out for the last unit line in the Drake faction, the augur, and I wanted to poll the forums for feedback. Criticize away!
Attached is the version I'm working on at the moment (he's not shaded at all, and I may need to redesign the aura of the vision-ball-thingy a bit).

I think it's odd foreshortening... try moving the head as it is further to the left of the picture...Ranger M wrote:A problem that I noticed is that the neck is significantly shorter than the other saurian portrait that you did, around a third of the length.
Great image, otherwise...
Also, how precisely did you do that texturing around the edge of the robe? I'm very interested.
(I can also help with the "aura" business; I learned a few tricks in the attack icon project.)

Nothing terribly fancy. I used two muddy colors, one light, one dark. The light one was applied in random dabs of the pencil tool at about 75% opacity, the dark one atop that at about 90% opacity.Jetryl wrote:Also, how precisely did you do that texturing around the edge of the robe?
Closeup below.
Technically, an augur was a priest who interpreted the gods' will by studying the flight of birds. Somewhat more loosely, "augury" is used as a generic term for reading the future in signs, portents, and the like.Zhukov wrote:The presence of the vision blobe thingy seems odd to me.
Wanting to give him something visibly magical to do, I took this even further and gave him a direct view to some(where/when) else.
