The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Please read the thread before posting. If you had you would know that this has already been discussed in detail and that the solutions discussed there are more favorable.

If you are to make a "treehouse", make it more than just a house in a tree. Imagination is a wonderful thing, so use it - I'm sure there's plenty of designs that feel Elvish but are fairly original.

I can see two fairly small problems.

First off I think the horse is at slightly the wrong angle, it should be facing slightly more south.
Second the mane looks more like a mohawk. That might be a problem that sorts is out during shading.

Urs wrote:The blurring used on the glaive doesn't really work, IMO... it looks like a camera is focusing and unfocusing on it. Pixel art should remain sharp, especially since your style is very sharp and clear.

Agreed, same thing for the shield too.

Rather than a sticky, I added it to the wiki ([wiki]Fire Animation[/wiki]). It's exactly the sort of thing I feel should be put there. I also tidied it up a touch (I hope you don't mind rhyging5, you have very good English considering it's not your native language, all I did was fix a few words here...

Read this. Block out the animation. It helps you get the motion right and, if you post it up, gives us a chance to give crit Now you can start shading. Also a little further reading reguarding death animations What I will say is don't limit yourself to what's already been done, there's plenty of ch...

One future-example I'm really hoping does not get crushed, is this fighter game in the works. All of the sprite-art in this is amazing; it's all original spriting, none of it ripped (they're building the game using MUGEN - although MUGEN is usually detestable, they're obviating the one prime flaw o...

I'm sad about Cloud's comment. I always think action/movement poses give more of the sense of character. With the exception of the first lobber sketch, I don't think the other five are combat-poses. Aggressive maybe... But, if that's Wesnoth's thing then I'll rework my logic. I wasn't trying to put...

I'm not going to talk about the style, that's for our resident directors to handle (though I would pretty much echo what Valkier said despite being a Spriter). What I will say is the portraits are genrally used to depict units away from actual combat (that's not to say they don't have weapons ready;...

Q1.: Yes, you can move him outside the hex, though iirc it make it much easier* if you extend the frame by the same amount the other side: see the drake animations for an example. Q2.: Don't worry about the baseframe, I'm going to address that. I'm mostly concerned about him getting the body motion ...

First off... I advise you to block it out, you'll get a feel for what the animation feels like before wasting your time shading. I'll admit it's not an easy unit to animate, but there's a lot of freedom with two active beings. Use your imagination; the wolf could turn towards the camera as the Gobl...

Something to do with indexing all the colours in the images (or merging very similar colours) to reduce the size of the image. .gifs I know use indexing. As an aside - GIMP 2.4 (and I assume it's similar in later versions) has the option to change the mode in image->mode->(RGB, Greyscale or Indexed)...

I was aiming for something a little like this: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d134/ffs_team/mountandbladejavelinref.png?t=1277479724 (taken from Mount&Blade) Points up as it'd be easier to quickly get one out and throw it. In a quiver again for ease of access. Both because it's easy to portra...

That's because I'm not working on the grip at the moment. I'm just putting the javelin in front of the hand to make sure it's aligned properly - something I'll fix once I'm happy with the blocking. I probably should have explained that earlier but totally forgot I was doing it

Indeed, though it's a minor issue which I'll deal with after everything in the mainline dwarf department is done. It'll be easier and probably more convinient just to do them in bulk rather than as and when I finish an animation. To be honest a lot of campaign art needs a look at but because mainlin...
