Red are the arms and blue is the sickle/polearm/halberd/whatever, weapon.
At least that's how I read it...
EDIT: Although I do think the weapon's not-blade part should be another color, maybe... something metallic? Or the same color severely desaturated and darkened/lightened up?

Re: Vranca´s artwork
OOOOH right. Now I see how it works. Yeah, it's a good sprite, but you really, REALLY need to use a different colour to distinguish the weapon's haft from his... skin? carapace? armour?

Re: Vranca´s artwork
I think it's better, and the only advice I can give is... well, the back is weird. I know it's supposed to be big, and maybe his head is down, but it looks just... strange to me. Also, just because I am strange and all, I kind of think the upper part of the weapon is too short, I almost see he's cleaning his ear with it.

Re: Vranca´s artwork
I think it is because the way his head is positioned. I noticed it, too. Atm, it appears that he's a hunchback, except his head slid down his neck instead of being bent overPeterPorty wrote:well, the back is weird.

I would move the head a bit upwards, but not quite on top of his shoulders. About halfway between his shoulders and his present location would be nice.
Re: Vranca´s artwork
Since that guy will be redrawn i did the other lvl3 so here it is. Crit welcome as always.

Re: Vranca´s artwork
I'm having a little trouble reading their faces. The advantage to the doll-like proportions of most Wesnoth sprites is that key features can be emphasized & detailed. This last one looks a little more "realistically" proportioned.

Re: Vranca´s artwork
Yeah his head is the same size as the one of lvl2,should i make it larger?
There isn't a lot of details in their faces they should look similar to this

Re: Vranca´s artwork
If having no face is part of what they are, I guess it makes sense to not emphasize that part. But I would still try to draw fewer details, to allow room for the important ones. He would still have eyes, for example?
His right shoulder pad has a strong outline, while the hand below it doesn't. If you think of the outline sort of like a shadow - so there is some consistency in how it is applied, I also think that will help clear things up. It looks like you did that to some extent, maybe you just missed a few places.

Re: Vranca´s artwork
Now that you mention it... Sort of. If you include a brow, or dark pixel for shade of a sunken eye, it might help. If you need to make the head bigger, you could make the shoulders bigger to prevent him from looking child-like.Vranca wrote:Well he does have them,they are blue,I thought it was obvious :(

Re: Vranca´s artwork
Maybe you should change the blue to magenta to give it some TC?
