Re: Zero's art. Working on UtBS art.
the overlords helmet/head is way to small
also, the whole design doesnt look good, since the original sprite wasnt good either.
i would possibly start over and make an awesome dark knight out of it and abandon the redish original
just IMO.
also i think it could stay mounted, mabe not nessessarily a common horse though

The best bet is your own, good Taste.

I liked the original sprite, especially the helmet, though I agree that it was a bit small.
I think I've expanded the head enough, if you compare with the Spearman, or even the Grand Admiral.
Espreon wanted me to get rid of the horse. The pony's not coming back.
Finally, the whole point of this is the respriting of older Chaos units. So no, making up new ones is out of the question.

I like it...
Re: Zero's art. Working on UtBS art.
He seems to be leaning to the right, but thats a nitpick. If you shift the torso and/or head to the left by a pixel or two, I think the issue would be resolved.
Ecce, in caelo! Est avem! Minime, est vehiculum aerem! Minime, est virum Latinum!
Re: Zero's art. Working on UtBS art.
Actually, it was weird. I had it moved to the left 1 pixel, and he looked like he was leaning to the left. Then I moved him to the right and it looks like he's leaning the other way. 1 pixel's difference...
Maybe I'll expand his legs and see if that fixes it.

Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
This is a small nitpick, but the horns look flat, especially their right horns.
My spritework can be seen here.

Re: Zero's art. Working on UtBS art.
I agree that his chest looks thin relative to his legs; this could probably be fixed by changing the shading so as to make his breastplate appear, rather than receding on either side of the centreline.Aura wrote:His chest looks very thin (or his leg armour/skirt thing look very wide, not sure which).

Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
I agree with with the points raised here. The horns look a bit flat. I'd try giving it more shadow underneath.
It does look like he's leaning over to the right, or forward. Also the chest looks a little flat besides being narrow. To solve the leaning and flatness I'd move back his shoulders arms and head a pixel or two. It'll give him a less hunched over pose. But hey, maybe you want him like that I dunno.

Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
I'll go back later. I'm not really sure what to do with the rest of Human-chaos, so I'll just move on to the more important Quenoth elves.
A basic idea for the fighter. It's not very polished right now.

Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
Wow indeed! That bandana and the shoulderpads are really well done!
Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
First version of Shield Fighter. He looks a bit stooped, but he's holding a HUGE METAL SHIELD after all. Maybe I'll add a few pixels of height to him later.

Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
Even better!
Re: Zerovirus' sprites for UtBS
I'm looking at his head gear and that brooch on the middle of it seems to be on a different angle from the face
Unless it's not supposed to be directly on the center, of course
OH! And how about giving the desert elves a more "tanned" skin tone? This characteristic is shown in their portrais, so why not in the sprites? (just saying, tho )
