Neorice's new drakes!

[Mica]

WELL TOO BAD.

TSI your effort is magnificent and we all appreciate it! Keep going!

''Tell ya what, if the ones I finished so far actually get animated like people claim they will; that'd motivate me to make the remaining base frames.''

Lazy bugger. Things only get done if you do them yourself.

I'm attempting (10000X more stress on attempting than space invader) the animation for the slasher. Expect epic and total failure.

[Mica]

Aw, it can't be that bad.

[Longbow]

Expect epic and total failure.

I look forward to it
The slasher and fighter are my favourites from Neo's lot, can't wait to see them get animated.

I personally think this is a bad idea. The changes look...really weird for some reason.

possibly because it ruins how I view drakes. The drakes were my favorite race at one point, and I got used to them, and I think they could use an update, but these just seem like the wrong way to update them.
The giant claw/blade/wrist thingy look wrong for a drake. They remind me of a different game. (Final Fantasy anyone?)

Well Jetryl likes it. Don't worry, once they get updated you'll get used to it.

I'm just going to /sign my love of the new drakes to combat the people supporting the old ones, though by all means express your opinion.

I also completely understand if people don't have the time to do this, and Neo's desire not to animate them/do others if he doubts they will be used.

I remember when I first saw the new drakes that I didn't really like them. Somehow they lost their fierce, wild personas and became more cartoonish. But after a while, the art style has really grown on me. The sprites show much more character now, especially in their poses. Personally I think the wrist blades were a brilliant idea and a natural extension of the drakes' own brand of martial arts.

P.S. Oh, and spaceinvader, great job on animating the drakes so far! That fighter attack looks awesome!

I really don't like the new drakes, the wrist blades especially don't seem right, nor does the green skin. the old ones could use updating, but it should be better quality, updated versions of the old ones, not complete replacements. the new ones look cartoony, like they're going in the opposite direction of the rest of wesnoth.

I agree 100% like I have said earlier, too...

[Longbow]

I disagree 200%
As they say, out with the old in with the (visually superior) new.

The drakes have remained the same since really early versions, left behind whilst other races received updates. As Neoriceisgood created both, he obviously prefers the new ones, and they have the Mighty Toad's approval so you are fighting a losing battle I'm afraid...

I have been around more than most of you and many time I have seen graphical upgrades I didn't like....


however, I'm no art director, Jetryl is.

and if Jet syas the new drakes are better (and he did) I've learned to trust his jugment.

you'll get used to the new drakes, and in a couple of month you'll be wondering how we could have stayed with the old ones for so long...

And coincidentally, I think neo's new drakes are a strong improvement over what we had before.
