and remember that the back being a large flat surface, most armies would have recognition symbols on their backs...

Any use for you?

I use him as size ref and since I had the quiver in another layer I gave him the same treatment.

Image Oh hell yes! That's extremely useful!

Really - I'm busy with finishing up the TC death march, so I can't attend to this project in any semblance of a timely manner. However, if people could do exactly what you just did, that would seriously grease the wheels when I do get rolling. I mean, shucks - you've pretty much finished the base frame for me; that needs next to no editing. Just grabbing a random unit that's lacking a north facing, and working on it, is both extremely helpful, and very easy to do.

Glad to hear. :lol:

The hair pun could perhaps need a another revision but I'll see.
If it is alright with you I'll deal with the two others as well.

is it just me or are _all_ the northern-facing sprites in this thread considerably fatter than their south-facing (base) frames?

Actual no. I don't think so the silhouette is as big as the others. Perhaps a bit taller though the last one seems to be shorter though.
So until otherwise stated.

I suppose the first one from the left is the L1 Elvish Archer. I dunno, but to me that sprite in particular looks like a completely different unit. And the hair lacks shading IMHO.

OK, I'll just let Wayfarer have the Elvish Archer then. :lol: Fair enough, he got to it before I did.

Don't worry Turin, there are plenty other units to make NE frames for. :wink:

I like the Elvish Archer line, but the hat thing on the L1 looks a bit strange to me.

Excuse me. I did overread this small fact. :augh:

Eh; no big deal. Turin wasn't offended/nor did he have much (if any) time wasted, and you did well. It's all good. :)

I'm unsure a bit about them but well just make a sound.

The way the cloak hangs down looks too stiff to me... almost cut out of stone.

On these ones, the criticism of them appearing to be too wide is definitely true. Thin these puppies down. Otherwise they look great, though.
