Elvish units

[Tom_Of_Wesnoth]

That's better, I can tell what it is now.

[Elvish_King]

Here is a new version of the level 2 elf with the staff.
I fixed his cape and clothes around his bow.

That one's definitely progress in the right direction.

I changed the weapon on the elf with staff (lvl 3).
( I didn't like him, eihter )

Here are 2 versions:

Say which of theese you like more and I will improve it.

[Ravana]

stafflvl3-2 seems strange(that spear goes through unit, notice layer of cape), so I would use first one.

[Elvish_King]

Of course one opinion is good but be sure I prefer to have more.

You can say what should be improved in no.1 or no.2 and you can also give new ideas how the unit could look like. ( for example: How he holds his staff/bow/...?)

[Elvish_King]

I wasn't content with the lvl.3 elf so I made a new variant of him.

EDIT: The problem I got is that he actually doesn't look like a lvl.3 unit.
Can anybody help and say how I can make him more "lvl.3-like" ?

[Elvish_King]

Anybody?

For over a week nobody posted something.

Any comments, advice or suggestion for improvement ?

[SFault]

Well, you could make the bow more bigger and colorful. At least add the quiver with TC'd arrow feathers.

Make him a pixel bigger than the lvl2?

Maybe it would be nice to give each level a distinct hair (decoration). You could make it a pattern for your units allowing them to be recognized easier; right now it's different for your three units what happens with their bandanas when they level up: it stays the same, becomes less or becomes more.

On a different note, it seems to me that the top lvl3 from your original post has his legs spread awfully wide apart.

[Elvish_King]

Here is the next version:
I tried to include SFault's and nourc's suggestions.

I gave him another hair, a bigger bow and a quiver with TC'd arrow feathers.
I think he looks quiet good, but what do you think?

[Paulomat4]

I like him. He's much more lvl-3-ish than before. Good Job!

[Elvish_King]

Thanks !

I tried to fix it:

As a comparison, this is the original one (from SFault)

This is the version with smaller feet.

Because this unit of the line has a better bow than this unit with the staff, I made a bigger bow.

hunter-biggerbow.png (2.71 KiB) Viewed 4939 times

This one has both changes: bigger bow, smaller feet

Say which of theese you like most.

[nuorc]

Maybe 'my problem' was that the legs and feet form visually nearly straight lines; mainline elves have the feet at a different angle and/or there's a 'bump' at the top of the boots.

I better leave judgement to people more knowledgeable about proportions and perspectves.
