Lavinian art resizing

Post by **turin** » November 18th, 2006, 2:31 pm

The Lavinians were starting to look like dwarves next to the new mainline units. So, I've begun resizing them.

Comments?

The L3 units could use slightly broader shoulders.

Including old Lavinians and/or mainline human images would make helpful comment easier.

Sure.

The Aquilifer (lower-right) has not been resized.

Spread out the legs, especially his left leg, on the L3 swordsman-with-shield unit. Right now he's off-balance.

Other than that, my biggest suggestion is that these guys need more shoulderage.

Their swords are a little distubing- I think it's either the lack of points on the end, or the way they are holding them.
The exception would be the propugnator- he looks normal, and I think his weapon positioning is best, it looks more natural to me.
The legonaries looks like a needle- Bringing his down like the propugnators might help, so you are looking at the flat of the blade. Same for level two signifier's.

The centurions sword looks like he's stabbing the ground (I think it looks like he has it on a belt or something so it's out of the way, but I can't tell.). I think this is just because his arms are longer than the praetoriens- if you angle the tip up a bit, or shorten his arms, I think he'd look normal.

otherwise they look fine to me.

I really need to learn to do art.

l3 spearman's arm is too long. It extends almost all the way down to his knee!

I biggerized the Hippo main frames. Also included are some wild hippos.

Holy cow those hippos look completely far-out awesome, who made them?

Eleazar did. They're about 10x better than the hippos I drew.

Err,:shock: i mostly did. The rider is mostly taken from the Nemidian Horseman line, but the hippos contains all Eleazar-brand pixels. I hadn't drawn hippos in quite some time, and i became facinated by their weird form. It took me a while. The hippo's skin is perhaps too dark.

Awesome art collectively, nothing can be good if done in the eyes of one, because some have different ideas. Despite the comments of others it is good

Oh, they're not pixel art, I was about to cry.

I used various tools other than a 1 pix wide fully opaque brush, if that's how you define "not pixel art". But to make units look decent at this size most of the time does have to be spent with a 1 pix brush. I certainly didn't resize a photo of a hippo. I resized some portions as a start for the different levels of hippos.

In art, the results are more important than the technique, and you get results you don't need to be ashamed of.
