Frogger's art. Possible UMC story art.

[Frogger5]

Spoiler:

The axeman and warrior captain were too dark. So I decided it was time to get out the Silvo and do a bit of scrubbing.



There we are! lovely and shiny.

[Frogger5]

Spoiler:

And now the alt upgrade for the cold mage.



Serader

Serades are Seljjian weapons, a short curved sword with a blade about 30cm long. The fighter that uses them generally uses two. These are among the most skilled fighters and magi.

Spoiler:

I plan to take this Slejjian idea a little further than wesnoth. So I decided to do a drawing of the longaxe major to show you a Seljjian soldier at a larger scale.
Actually I'm rather proud of myself, I've never been to good at drawing humans.



Annotated version: (sorry about the annoying outlines. The image quality wasn't going to work so I had to trance it on illustrator.)

Spoiler:

If you are unsure of any of the details in the picture, refer back to the original.
I'll accept critique on the art but not so much on the facts (as you can probably understand this is my whole new idea of a civilization who are cut off from other humans (in wesnoth anyway)).

Edit: He's not supposed to look quite so chinese.

Here's a few things I notice: The warrior captain's right arm is a little on the thin side. Another thing about the warrior captain (I hate to sound ignorant) is his head a helmet or a face. I'm presuming it's a helmet because of the plume, but those two white pixels on the face kinda throw me. The Seljjian fighter seems to be holding his bow a little awkwardly. It's ok but maybe you should create an archer unit and give the bow to him. Hope this is helpful!

Spoiler:

Funny you should comment on the WC cus I'm actually in the process of improving him . And yer its a helmet, the white dots are his eyes.
I cant actually create an archer unit, it wont fit in the seljjian theme. I really should post the new wc, I made him look less frankenstiened from the royal warrior.


Its not that much different but its till an improvement.

Spoiler:

Finally got around to the cavalry .


Seljjian cavalryman
Fight with spear and sword.

[Telaron]

Hmm This looks good! You might consider lightening the highlights a little. He seems a little dark. Maybe its just me. The spear shaft looks a little thin for the spear head. Just ignore me if you want to.

[artisticdude]

Hmm, my only comment right now is that he's holding his weapons funny. He would probably carry his spear straight up and down when he's not using it (right now it looks like it's directly in front of the horses legs). You could also lower his sword a bit, but that's my opinion.

BTW, are we going to see any animation for these sprites?

No animation right now, I'l animate them after I've done all the main frames . In answer to telaron, yes I will change A lighting slightly.
Oh and about the way he holds his spear, although I haven't done a diagram on him yet, they are held horizontally in clips on the horses saddle when not it use. So I'll probably make it horizontal rather than vertical.

[artisticdude]

BTW, how do you pronounce 'Seljjian'?

[Frogger5]

It's pretty much what it looks like (abiding the laws of english). Sel-j-yan

[Frogger5]

Spoiler:

Ok I made a salamander. Not really seljjian but i decided to anyway.

The three legged fire dwelling reptiles.
It looks better on a background

Spoiler:

What do you think? is it any good? Improvement?

[melinath]

The angle doesn't feel quite right... I think we should be seeing less of the legs on the back left side.

true... I made it like that to make it look flat on the ground like other lizards.

[Zerovirus]

The leg facing away and nearest its tail seems stretched unnaturally, like it was lifting it up to move and it was frozen in that pose.
