As far as technical specs go, it should be about 2x bigger and shouldn't be cropped at the right edge (nor top).

If you feel like can do an portrait for any of the units in my eras that already doesnt have an portrait, then that would be great.
link to units:
https://units.wesnoth.org/1.12/Uber_Def ... thern.html
https://units.wesnoth.org/1.12/Uber_Def ... thern.html
just dont ask me how they are exactly supposed to look like, simply look at the figure, read its description(if has any) and draw whatever imagination comes alive in your head.
key points to keep in mind would be: aracenese people look Latin or Spaniard, Southerners have darker skin than Northerner orks, Saracens are middle-easterners, Nomads supposed to be looking like bedouins, Vaeringjar are vikings, Primevalist cult composed of villains. everything else pretty much up to you.

thx for your reply Zookeeper.
the next will be no cropped at the rigth edge.
but I have a little problem with the size, I do the image at 400x400 and Png, I just check the file, but I don't know How publish in the forum in the original size.
to upload this file I publish on my blog and copy the URL of the link. Maybe it's a better way to do it I don't know.

Ok, eagle_11, what protrait do you Prefer I'll begin? now I'm doing a lyche, but when I finish I can do one of your eras
EDIT: cause I have a lot of free time today I'll do the first of the list, the acolyte. But I prefer if you tell me wich are more important to be some selective

Now that you have done the Aracanese Acolyte feel free to finish that unit-line, if you fancy.
I would have no objections if youd like to do some more of Aracanese too.
Edit: Try something for the level 3 Birdmaster in Uber Northern.

It's better if I do Low units or High level ones?

Higher level units tend to have more bling, so if you like to draw something more detailed go for them.
Edit: Had suggest Bird Master because you can probably make it look good.

This is the hottest new stuff for some time now!

About the Elf Archer:
You could mirror it. Or you could just expand it to like 500x500 and finish the bow.

About the bird man:
There are regions with hard shadows. Some people would call it cell shading. Maybe some blending would be nice.

Anyway awesome style! The (color intensity?) hue might be a bit stronger than usual, but very nice.

One more: These do not look like pencil sketches to me. It looks more like finished digital portraits too me. But maybe I am confused? Can't wait to see more.
