Vampire Bat portrait
Hmm... Possibly starting a too many projects at the same time. No matter.
I'm not sure if people would like it to look realistic or monstrous, so I tried both approaches.

yes, imo too.Girgistian wrote:Hmm... Possibly starting a too many projects at the same time.
uglibat looks imo way better.
Re: Vampire Bat portrait
I think we can use both.
The uglibat could be used for the lvl0 and the scaribat for the lvl1.

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
Those legs look way too long and shaped wrong. Otherwise great.

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
Ah, but these are Wesnothian bats, not terran ones. They're much bigger than Terran bats, for starters...Neoskel wrote:Those legs look way too long and shaped wrong. Otherwise great.

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
The legs in the sprite seem to be part of the wings, as with (some) real bats, however.
I definitely vote for uglibat, too. I;d like to see it inked, whatever the leg situation...

They are simply sublime! However they are a bit big...

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
Uglibat it is then! I'll finish the skeleton warrior before shading this one. might be tonight, even, since I'm feeling kind of energetic today. I checked the legs of a real vampire bat and they seemed separate from the wings, but I can try to attach them to the wings if it's better that way.

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
Remember that Wesnoth bats are much much bigger, so they need all the wing area they can get to help them sustain flight.

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
Fine, I will. This project will freeze for a while, as will the skeleton warrior. If someone wants to give a shot with the shading, just go ahead and do it. You can also have the .psd version of it if you want the background and sketch layers separate.

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
I might take a shot at inks and colours on this, if you don't mind =)

Re: Vampire Bat portrait
Raurgh. It won't let me attach a .psd file. You'll have to manage with this one, sorry. But you really don't need to do anything but draw the outlines on it and you have a good base to colour it.
