Addan-Shem:

I tried to upload the zip containing the info and reference for the Nara sprite, but for some reason it won't attach. I'm going to upload it to a file sharing service and PM you the url.

Yes. The sequel will be called The World Seed and as soon as that's done, I'll begin work on the third and final installment of the series, which will be called The Isle of Twilight. I want to finish this series as soon as possible. I've let it go for too long. The excellent Kimmira will again be providing the portraits and Addan-Shem and Mechanical are designing sprites (and other stuff too, likely). I'm hoping to have it all completed in 90 days, but that may be a bit optimistic. We'll see.

If anyone else is interested in helping out, we still need team members who can design attack icons and someone who can do halo / projectile art.

Nice start. I think my only suggestion would be to make the face look a bit less bestial and a bit more human. The Rockland orgres are ugly, but they should be recognizably humanoid in their facial features. Otherwise, it looks great. I love the cudgel. I'm excited to see how the other units turn out.

Oh, gosh, it seems my imagination continues to argue with your concepts. Ogre basher sketch:

The Basher looks great. Color scheme is pretty much exactly what I imagined. The gear looks good too. I would suggest that you add a black metal band or some metal banding around the club.

Oh, and Mechanical, the unit descriptions I sent over are more along the lines of suggestions. I'm not a visual artist, and I have found over time that what I think will look good might not actually work out very well once it's on the page, so I'm perfectly fine with your interpretations. They'll likely turn out to be more thematically congruent than anything I could have come up with and they're looking very good.

Small fix: corrected cudgel, redrew the armor (the old version was similar to diapers)

Nice muscle tone on those guys. They're supposed to be tough and deadly, and they look it.

I agree with FaeLord on the muscle tone, but aren't their legs a bit thin for their mass? More so on the Basher. To help illustrate my point:
Used these for practice, you can disregard any changes but the thickness of the legs.

I might have overdone the leg size compared to the mainline ogres, but it should get the idea across. Then again, how can I speak of overdoing things when I see that Smasher's lovely club. :D

Thanks for the advice. I'm a little sad that I could not draw enough good sprites. And yes, the new legs for smasher:
