Burglar and other thief-like creations

Post by mpolo »

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 obvious, it is Frankensteined from the rogue, outlaw, and a little inspiration from the Outlaw Princess...) Upon uploading, I see some artifacts from not erasing completely, but those would be easy to fix...

More samples of my evil experiments on combining the body parts of unsuspecting units... Comments welcome.

One last one... the Catburglar.

For infomation, the planned advancement tree is:

Thief -> Rogue or Burglar
Rogue -> Assassin or Master Thief
Burglar -> Catburglar or Bard

The catburglar and bard (and to some extent, burglar) have tiny heads. Should be easy to fix just by frankensteining an existing head from some unit.

Ahaha, usually people make huge heads.

Anyway they look good, just a little wide, and of course the heads are a little small. Also, they are facing forward, or slightly right of forward, when they typically should be facing southeast.

Here are some attempts at fixing the heads. The bodies are all stolen from other units, so really ought to be facing the right way...

It's not necessarily the bodies that make it looking in the right direction, if you took the heads from something else, then they most likely will, but if you copy the way that the head is made, then it'll still work. If you go and try to make a head on your first try, no offense, it'll most likely be wrong, until you go back and work on it. I'm working on a hooded unit at the moment, and the hood is completely wrong.
