We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
Hey, i've been playing Wesnoth for a good few months now, and it really has inspired me to pick up things i had to give up (mainly due to lack of time). One of these is art. I did it at GCSE and then never picked up a pencil again, until now though :) .
So far, what little metal i have had in my scratch-built units has been easy enough to colour simply by dint of there not being all that much of it. However i'm now attempting the level 1 lines of the Vorpal Tide, all of which are metallic in nature. And i'm having a nightmeare with it. How can i...
I just discovered how to make tileable hexes in Inkscape. The method utilises the clone tile tool, and the cool thing about it is that you see a multiple hex area which updates immediately as you edit the original hex.
This is supposed to be an attack icon for the Wild Elf Thunderblade's, uh, thunderblade. I made it essentially from scratch, which is fairly rare for me. Comments?
I'm learning the ropes on Wings 3D, and it makes very easy to sketch out ideas for castles. Here's one, with sloping embankment and bastions instead of towers (obviously, they would only be present at convex corners). It might be good for some more modern style faction.
If you've put together a picture of multiple layers in the GIMP, is there a way to (say) move the entire image 1 pixel to the left without moving each layer independently or having to merge the layers first?
I suspect I'm going to need to recentre a number of units and I'd like to do it on the...
This is essentially intended as an alternative upgrade for the thief (for a campaign that I hope to get around to writing...) Ultimately, given my art skills, it's pretty much doomed to be a place-holder, but any criticism to help make a better place-holder would be welcome. (As though it weren't...
Hello everyone, I'm working on the frames of a male character for an Arcade game Golden Axe-like and wanted help with tips/suggestions, whatsoever to perfect the base frame for a character sheet.
Basically, this should be the base frames of the naked character on the different modes (stationary,...
I really want to contribute some art to wesnoth, but I know that I haven't enough skills. Thats why I'm making this unit (and probably more when this one will be done), I want to learn how to draw them. So here's my first try. Nordic-like warrior with big hammer sketch. Criticism and advices...
anywho, the shadow lord needs revisions, and as I am bored, I began working on him. It has been a while, so work is slow and probably shoddy--in part due to it being midnight here.
Anywho, the WIP: part 4 now.
As shadow has tried to show his way, I'm showing my far less professional way of...
I was doing some research on possibilities for Desert Elves, and i turned up various pictures of burnous type dress used by arabs, with a turban . It would take way too much time to convert the whole desert elf line to this sort of style, but i thought i'd have a go at making myself a sprite based...
I've always been a poor artist, but I thought I'd have a go at pixel art because it requires less hand control than drawing. I've done some simple head replacements, and now I'm trying to edit the mage figure to wear purple robes and carry a telescope. This is both to practice my pixel art and to...
I tried to create another non-weapon item icon.
The image still needs a bit of work... maybe the lamp should turned on.
I added the gimp file to if anyone likes to try to finish it.
So yeah, long story short I was playing around in the GIMP and made a few random attack icons. They're really for a game I'm working on (I think I might try to make Zhukov's RPG, except real life is hectic right now); but I thought I'd post them here, see what people think. Anyone can, of course,...
I would like some comments on these sprite frames and how they animate. I just tonight downloaded a .GIF animator to see how my frames flowed together and discovered that what looked okay scrolling my eye down the page in paint looked terrible when actually put together :(
I'm trying to make one of those maps wercator creates, but the web-page hosting it seems to be down and the version I downloaded from the forum doesn't seem to be working at all.
can you show me how can I drow gud (sorry if this word is wrong) warrior.
I show him prototype in NEW UNIT . IF you can send that picture in my e-mail: evaldaskal@one.lt
Thanks for all.
I've been trying to learn to sprite in order to contribute to Wesnoth. I've been reading the art tutorials and looking at already contributed sprites to try and understand the techniques. My question today involves light reflections.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I'm trying to create my own faction and I am currently using GIMP. I've bumped into a few problems and it would be very helpful if i had some feedback.
1. Does the unit have to be in a 75x75 scale? I don't think I can make one with this guy attacking since his...
I remember a while ago there was a bear sprite posted. Not the polar bear one by fmunoz:
But a different, more scary looking one. I have a need for such a sprite in a scenario I'm writing. So, does anybody remember who posted it, or where, or is anybody using it in any era or campaign or...
If you make a projectile on Gimp and have it going up and down, (Say its an arrow) can you rotate it to make it go diagonally or do you have to completely redraw it?
here they are a battle mage (my third attempt), a pathetic dwarf hedeaded dude,a saurian riding a hippo, and a horibly off scale but still cool elephant rider and more will come soon
