Re: Hoplite unit
The shield being fully one color might not be a good idea; not necessarily that hoplites didn't have painted shields, because maybe they did, but this might stand out too much among units. I'd suggest making it a neutral color with only a little bit or no team color on it.

Re: Hoplite unit
Thanks for feedback. I recolored the shield but the legs are like those of spearman so they maybe look weird because the shield is a lot bigger,so i didn´t touch them.

Re: Hoplite unit
Looks pretty solid. The problem is that the shield and spear are not making a sensible stance. The spear looks like he is having a break, but the shield looks like he is in combat. I would suggest to put the spear bit more hostile position - pointing at the enemy. Or put the shield aside into a bit more relaxed position.
Re: Hoplite unit
right now i´m trying to modify the spearman into a hoplite so it wont be frankenstiend,and i was also thinking to make the shield kinda sideways and a bit lower like he is just holding it and not like he is defending.
Here is an unfinished version of the hoplite:

Light hoplite
Here is a sprite for the light hoplite which should be lv.1 in my era when it´s finished.
Any critiques?

Re: Hoplite unit
I think his shield lacks an outline, while his helmet has almost no contrast for a metal object.

Re: Hoplite unit
The helmet as well as the shield. If you made the unit body, then kudos! It is quite nice.

Re: Hoplite unit
Yeah I know,but I´m still working on it so I will try to do that. I didn´t draw the body,I just edited spearman´s.
About the shield...I pretty much drew it from skrach based on the merman hoplite shield. I had a lot of problems drawing the shield in the right angle for the sprite so this was the most important thing for me so I forgot the outline. So is the angle of the shield right?

Re: Hoplite unit
I'm pretty much just repeating other people here, but...
The metallic stuff looks sort of...well...non-metally. It makes me think of flat cloth draped over his head. (The same goes for the shield.) This could easily be fixed with a little thing called contrast - have very dark darks (just not black) and very light highlights (even white, but in small quantities). Also, your shield's outline seems to have vanished...
EDIT: Never mind, you did say that you weren't doing the outline of the shield yet.
The shield's orientation looks good though - a bit of shading and this will probably be a quality unit!
(Though I'm begging you, keep the awesome plume on the helmet
)

Re: Hoplite unit
Higher lv. units will have it,but I didn´t want to give it to a lv.1 unit it didn´t make senseThough I'm begging you, keep the awesome plume on the helmet
And I will edit the metal today so i´ll probably post it tonight.

Re: Hoplite unit
The shield shouldn't be perpendicular to the camera like it is now.
Re: Hoplite unit
But it´s round how else could i draw it?

Re: Hoplite unit
If you do the shield so that it turns into an oval...wait, pictures speak louder than words!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I personally think you already did this.
EDIT2: And it definitely doesn't look like it's at a right angle to the camera.
- This gives the effect of it being at an angle.

Re: Hoplite unit
I did turn it into an oval, the outer rim of the shield isn´t visible on the right side becouse of that.Reepurr wrote:If you do the shield so that it turns into an oval...wait, pictures speak louder than words! EDIT: Forgot to mention that I personally think you already did this.
