those are great portraits! just like the first batch! i especially like the emperor kind of guy g8!

i just don't understand what you aim to achieve. if you want to work for a specific campaign or faction, just do it - the maintainer will just be thankfull! or if you intend them to be for mainline do portraits for specific units... i just fear the way you work now will produce much art that won't be used anytime soon. which would be a pitty, because they all look great.

that said - they all look like they belong to a distinct culture. some mix of roman elements and scyths plus a darker skin colour? is there some back story?

is there some "only one species per skin tone" rule that the Wesnothian gods are enforcing?

Yes. Drakes have slight variations, but the other races don't.

The thing is, we know from reality that humans have a variety of skin tones. The same human has a variety of skin tones depending on how much sun they get.

I don't see a problem, noone's going to mistake these guys for orcs - orcs are all shaggy with big floppy ears, for a start...

I like the revisions, and your new portraits . From what I remember of the originals, the revisions are a good improvement.

Their emotional tone is conveyed quite well. It makes me think they are part of the same people, just as much as the similar clothing and style. It's a bit surprising to hear they're not for a particular campaign.

They have the seriousness about them of some tragedy remembered, but the individuals are still quite distinct in their portrayal.

Still, the anatomy and clothing is quite generic. I could see them being used in a variety of situations simply by recolouring the skin, hair and clothes. But you might have to do some self-promotion for campaign designers to be able to find them.

Great work. All of them has a real personnality.
Some shading would make them even better.

I think, the guys from Extended Era might be able to use it for the Kalifa faction.
