The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hey, he's really coming along well! Just really get him finished this time :P I know he's still very much in the process, so take these with a grain of salt: the rear eye feels blind while the front one is over-rendered, ear is too small and too low, the rear hand isn't really gripping the handle, h...

Yeah! A tiny bit more outlines (but you don't need to overdo it) and you should be pretty much done with him. For future also get in the habit of adding pupils into eyes.

Who's next in line? And do you plan expression variants for the main characters (that's not mandatory, I'm just curious).

Yep. You addressed LB's concerns - he's done. For future reference: You don't need my and LB's ok, one of us should do

I really, really love all the detail you put into Thursgan! Can't wait to see how he'll turn out.

Baglur is great, too! And I don't see anything wrong with his mouth. But I'm a bit bothered by his head's overall shape, it doesn't really feel like a ball but rather flat.

Great! So are these versions of Ethiliel, Gerrick, Deoran, Urza and Hylas ready for commit? It's been a long time and I don't think you've declared Ethiliel finished, so I'd like confirmation on whether these are indeed the final versions. Thanks for the info about the campaigns! And and yes Ethili...

I found a sword reference with a handle of that style. As I mentioned in my post, everything is out of alignment on it right now. Aside from that, and as you mentioned, I did have a reference for that type of sword handle. Now I'm not sure if the metal part was meant to be used as a pummel, handle,...

A paintover would be appreciated, as I am honestly at a loss on how to improve the hair right now. I've been trying for the last hour or so. D: Here's a quick paint-over with some notes - I hope that helps. Perhaps a bit too shiny, one could keep it more rough. Possible reference (from google image...

Already a lot better! The eyes' saturation is fine now, but the extreme highlight makes them look as if they would glow on their own... :shock: The hair is looking better - continue in this direction, just give it even more structure! (Do you want to figure that out yourself or do you want me to pro...

And five months later I am back… :D After finishing my master's degree I've got a bit more time on my hands and I hope to finish up The South Guard pretty quickly – actually I just finished shading both versions of Urza and the two missing variants of Deoran. What important/amazing things happened w...

Hi there again! I like the blocky approach you're using for Tallin! The outfit and colour scheme are pretty nice. But I have some structural issues. Especially the head is wonky: You would never see that much of the top of the head if you have the face at this angle! Due to that the size is also man...

Great to have you back! And most things look fine - the armor is really nice. But hair and face need work. For the face: The body's lightsource seems to come from the top-left while the face is lit more from the front… The unnatural eye-colour was already mentioned and needs to be majorly desaturate...

I made some rather small adjustments to her face based on your comments and replaced the pic in my last post. I still see a certain discrepancy but to me all the major things look the same, e.g. the mad version has certainly no lighter skin midtones than the neutral version and so on. But I don't wa...

:roll: E.g. means it was an example... But generally we use pretty simple and iconic poses to convey stereotypical emotions quickly. So a fist is fine if it communicates the necessary meaning, if Ellisae comes up with a different and easily incorporatable idea (and fitting with Gweddry's character) ...

That's a great crazy lich! My favourite detail is the way the belt reveals the shape of the pelvis! The triangular composition reminds me of a ton classical paintings... :P Only one little gripe - I'm not sure if the staff's stone is really fitting, it feels kinda bland, perhaps something more angul...

StDrake: I fear I'm going to ignore this kind of minor gripes - it doesn't bother me at all and wouldn't benefit the overall picture…

And here is a first pass at neutral Ethiliel:

EDIT: And the mad one, too:
