pls comment, ok?

Glavier looks nice. If I missed elf images for some unit I would use it.

Desert variation doesnt look that interesting.

Mudcrawler is blurry.

[ForestDragon]

thanks for feedback, oh, and desert variation is for maybe another addon i might make, a desert elf faction (with a bunch of 'desertified' custom elvish units like this)

[DeCoolest_Cat]

I agree with Ravana. The mudcrawler is too blurry, maybe try taking the original and adding from there instead of enlarging it. The regular glavier looks good, but the desert variant seems too bland. Darker tones of tan and brown would help it pop more.

as a continuation in the 'for other developers' series, i present you: a few anims for Elvish Blade Dancer from Oath of Allegiance (which i use as a lvl4 elvish champion for my era):

Hey!
Thank you very much for creating these! I'll include them the next time I update my campaign ^^

You are welcome

[ForestDragon]

by the way, any comment on Blade Dancer anims?

[Paulomat4]

I think you should try to move the whole body of the unit more in your animations. Currently you're only moving the weapons.

[ForestDragon]

that's how i do it, because, well it's a LOT easier to do it, i do it all in Gimp, where i can easily turn anything around and stuff
and by the way, i am making these anims not only for their base sprite's authors, but for my era too, i suggest you check it out (the theme is: sorta mainline-ish ageless (trying to have a less as possible of 100% custom factions))
EDIT: oh, and your Elvish Glavier's attack anim filter says pike, while the attack itself say glaive

[ForestDragon]

also to interrupt this annoying silence, i added some detail to Ancient Cactose's additional branches (Chaosrider made them in quite a haste, it seems)

remember that chaos invader portrait recolor from page 1? i just so happen to have made a remake of it based on phoenix knight sprite (anims coming soon):

total BADASS

The evilknights look very cool and the cactose is also quiet good although I think his head is a kind of big for such a small plant . Maybe I include him in my era...
