Ok, he is very impressive nonetheless and please don't worry about time as I am currently quite busy so I am only looking over the current scenarios fixing the problems people have encountered.Telaron wrote:Okay. he looks a little old because I shaded his cheeks a bit. maybe I'll remove that. See what it looks like without it. Get back to you in a day or so.

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
Unfortunately, it seems that there isn't a place in mainline for resources like these at present - however, I'm certain that there are UMC authors who would value them.
And I'm equally sure that you would be able to make some icons for mainline. Find something that's lacking, and give it a shot =)

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
Thanks. Okay, anyone who wants them, just post here. I'm sure people who use the armor, boots etc icons would use these for something. And then there's the training ( is that what you would call it?) method which Under the Burning suns and Brent both have.usr-sbin wrote:Hope your fever gets better

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
Maybe we should create a pack of all the attack icons rejected for mainline and upload it to the add-ons server so people will be able to just download them as a resource. I doubt there are enough attack icons at the moment for this idea to have any stability at present, though. But definitely, try out something for mainline, Telaron. Good luck.

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
That, is a very good idea.
It would also be nice if they were available on the website.
Of course, it could be an extremely bad idea for some reason that the devs pick up.

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
This is an excellent idea, and would also be a good project to put up on Wesnoth-UMC-dev. Talk to shadow master about that - equally, I could probably set it up, but it's been ages since i've done anything with UMC dev, and I don't really remember how to work it...

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
I'll drop shadowmaster a PM sometime, though I haven't the faintest clue how to work the Wesnoth-UMC-dev either.

Here's an unshaded smaller version. The original was about 1,600 pixels by 1,000. This one is about one sixth that size.

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
Yep those are the only things I see wrong with it, yep definately do a more side angle if you know what I mean and they are to bright like someone is shining a flashlight on them but I think those critiques were already addressed by the people who posted before me.Telaron wrote:Thanks guys! I'll draw another some time soon. I've got a fever of 101.8 so I don't feel very confident in drawing something 'well' at the moment. Hopefully next week...

Its middle area is very blurry and unclear.

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
The sword is shading so that it looks almost cylindrical, and there is no blood channel. Lighten the blade of the sword, gradually getting almost white as you move towards the tip. Leave a line of darker pixels down the middle of the blade to depict a blood channel. And I'd think at least some of his tail should be visible.

A colored version. I'll do the face later.

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
I love the saurian! Seems a little small due to the shield:body size ratio. The skirmishers shield has the right style, but not the right size. Maybe if you made the shield less ovaliod at the top and bottom. Is he wearing stone armor?

Re: Telaron's try at making an art portrait
To be honest I really didn't give it much thought. I guess not, because stone armor would be REALLY heavy. Here's a more defined version.Fog wrote:Is he wearing stone armor?
