Art Development for Era of the Future(critiques welcome)

Yeah. That does not mean fused with the forces of the ocean ala Davy Jones. An affinity with boats and monstrous biomasses resembling oceanic motifs are not the same thing.

Also. Can you has crabs?

Yes. Yes you can.

[tuahaa]

Those crabs look cool. I just tried to make a foot soldier and it looked really stupid so I deleted it. It's much harder making it from scratch!

@tuahaa: We're already finished with the Brungar (Sea Dwarves). But maybe with practice you could contribute to the next faction.

@Zero: Those look sweet! But the lvl1 & 2 need TC.

And wait till after I post the unit tree before posting the sprites.

[NOTE] I should be posting the unit tree relatively soon[/NOTE]

[Zerovirus]

Guh, I hate the way you guys did TC. Couldn't you have just given the Crab a scarf or something?

quick edit: Well since the Canine Men are apparently out now I might as well publicly post what I have so far.

[Huston]

that looks great zero and if you want to give it a scarf go ahead. you are the one redoing them. who says crabs can't acessorise?

[Zerovirus]

I mean the tc makes no sense. You painted or put gloves over the crab's claws?

That seems like it'd only reduce effectiveness of claws in combat. Not to mention that they'd have to repair it after each battle due to wear and tear. I'll just have them with a scarf on a leg instead. After all they're tame so why indeed can't crabs accessorize?

[JackBarber]

Eh, how about arm band sort things...?
Or if you made the final level one a "King Crab" you could give it a crown XD

[Zerovirus]

Waay ahead of you guys, I was working on the crab TC. I think these are suitable enough, though they aren't too noticeable, I think they're enough TC to get by with a monster-ish unit.

[tuahaa]

Is the new faction announced yet?

[Zerovirus]

Yes, it is. Canine men. Name very much wip. No unit tree or faction upload or really anything but that one measly wolf-peasant dude.

But it is. Come and dance with us. We could use people working on the faction.

[tuahaa]

Ok, I hope I can make acceptable art though. Thanks!

[JackBarber]

Well, for the Canine men thing I could help with ideas (not to great in the art area though).
Like, how about a human wolf rider, and maybe just some trained wolves?

[Soapman]

I accidentally made some kinda of scribble in Paint (stupid touchpad) and I turned it into some kinda robot. (yay touchpad!)
I looked at some of the stuff you have and i don't know if it would fit in with the units you guys already have.
If you like it then i might make leveled up versions of it.

...maybe, put some... spikes and .... energy shields...

If you guys do not want to use it then please point me towards someone who would.

[Mirion147]

@Zero: what program do you use to when you do art?

@soapman: Although this is the "Era of the Future" it's not sci-fi, so sadly we can't use that, but it looks really cool though.

[EDIT]

Here are Zero's crabs with transparency:

Are the NM and NG to similar? In all they are quite different but they may not look it.

[NOTE] I'm probly going to change the blade to a less bright color.

Sorry to double post. Alternate Northguys:
