playergryphon's art

Post by playergryphon »

Hello everyone! In this topic I want to post the pictures I painted or remade.
So, I'll begin with my first pictures. I decided to make gryphon darker.
Soon will post animations.

nice idea, but currently he looks like somebody poured a bucket of black paint on him :hmm: , maybe use Google to find pictures of black birds, so you can make it more distinguishable than just a darkened version of gryphon, otherwise not too bad
oh, and maybe you can use it as your avatar on the forums, after it's finished

ForestDragon, thanks for your critique, but as for me pictures are fine, so I am not going to remake them.
So, here are the animations, packed into ZIP archive, and a .gif file as an example.

I am going to use it for my MP campaign so far. Though right now I don't have enough time and will for it, so it's not gonna be ready soon.
Also here are few more files for it. I've tried to do some bow animations for apprentice mage from "Decent into Darkness" (by the way, big thanks the one who painted it). Here.

pretty good, otherwise here are a few things to critique here:1.the fact that the string is purely white, try copying the color from mainline archer 2. the arrowhead needs to be shinier (once again, look at mailine archers to copy from)3. once again about the arrow, make the stick in it brown
hope these minor tips help you

Okay. I fixed the bow. Removed the arrow completely, because it looks like elvish archers have no arrows too.
Also I've made a leadership animation.

That bow animation is strange. As the character pulls back, the string stretches like a rubber band instead of the bow bending. He could also pull back farther.
