What do you think of making the elder tree having an autumn-colored crown?

In terms of team coloring, how about the woses having long strips of cloth tied around the wrists? This might also be neat to see with the combat animations, to have the cloth trailing behind the swing.

Different colored = good.
Autumn colored = bad.

I think a much darker hunter green might work well.

That could be a good idea.

I'm sure female woses would be pretty carefull to groom their foliage :P

they are pretty cool
Feel free to PM me if you start a new terrain oriented thread. It's easy for me to miss them among all the other art threads.

What's going on with these? Is there any chance that they'll get into 1.2? :roll:

I'm not convinced that Tcolor is important enough to have to deform the image trying to get it on the unit. I think the berries and eyes (and perhaps only the berries) is enough tcolor.
Totally agree with Turin on the bird. It's too big and looks like a hair-pick. TC the berries or no TC at all, IMO.

Although.... strips of cloth, (or some sort of berry-bandolier) might work.

This is one of the projects waiting on more love from Neo (or another artist who can imitate his style).

Erm, no. I think they're nice and definietly better than the old ones. I'd be really glad if they were included in the upcoming stable release, unless you have something more impressive to show. :shock:

He's talking about the birds, methinks, not the woses themselves. ;)

I am, and I'm also afraid to look at the original woses again, if people find these things such a great improvement, I mean look at their "afro", it's horribly copy/pasted leaving an obvious and ugly pattern all over it.
