I'm putting all my images in spoilers in order to prevent any interest in the first part of this thread.

Spoiler:

Well I started a bit of my own spriting. Made from other units mostly. Their in a civilization called the Seljjes. Ill begin with an axeman and all the veterans.

Axeman (his helmet sucks at the moment.)

Longaxe man (longaxe is an axe with a lengthened shaft making it pole weapon size)


Longaxe Major

The axeman will use a simple axe.
The longaxe man will use one long axe attack
The other guy will have a choice between two longaxe swings, the normal one which is more accurate, or the powerful one which is less accurate.

And the fighters.

Warrior Captain. (still needs a lot of work.)


Cold Mage
Uses Chill wave.

Upgrade choice A

Serader
Serades are Seljjian weapons, a short curved sword with a blade about 30cm long. The fighter that uses them generally uses two. These are among the most skilled fighters and magi.

Upgrade choice B

Master Cold Mage
When a cold mage earns his staff.


Cold Mage Scepter
When a mage recreates his power into a scepter. Upgrades from choice B.

The spearmen


Seljjian Spearman
Probably the only Seljjian unit that has a shield, and even these shields are easy to abandon. Will upgrade to ther Phalanx of Spearfighter.


Seljjian Phalanx

When I say that I mean a member of a phalanx. These will make up the front line defense.


Seljjian Spear Fighter
These are the guys who breach the enemies defense when they have things like archers on hand. These guys overlap their shields and insert their spears thus creating an effect much like the ancient romans did (others did it to but they're the most well known). So this will require leadership as they will fight better in tightly packed groups.


Seljjian Fire Mage
Its rather self explanatory



Master Fire Mage
Same deal with the cold mage only different powers.


Horsemen:


Seljjian Cavalryman

Not too hard to guess what units they're made from.
Critiques please? My skills need refinement and you guys seem perfect for helping me.

The major, major point i'd make: unless the thing in question is actually straight, like a weapon haft, you should very very rarely use dead-straight lines more than around 3 pixels long. They look odd, because things in real life generally aren't dead straight. Of particular note: the l3's cloak edges, and all the helm brims.

Seljjian Phalanx

That's awesome. Ignore this next thing if this is because of my weird eyes: Is the shield like... glued... to his stomach? I mean, it's so close to him, I think. Might be just be, though.

[melinath]

I agree about the shield - I think it might just need a drop shadow? Right now, it just flows into his armor.

[Frogger5]

ahhhhh i se what you mean, yes ill try and fix that. I just realised, the part thats blending in had a grey outline instead of black and grey is the armor.
woops

Spoiler:

hows this?

[Frogger5]

Spoiler:

Seljjian Fire Mage
Its rather self explanitory

[thespaceinvader]

The spearman is looking better, but you need to make sure that the curves match at the top and bottom of the shield =)

Specifically that the top curves in the same way as the bottom.

[Frogger5]

actually thats a good point i changed the top curve cus i had really thick black lines but yer ill try and fix it.
