The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Last one for the captain / warmaster. I'll do group shots next time, it's easier to handle and we maybe don't need the full high-res cast every time.

Second post for the Soldier line

Hi everyone ! Thanks for the feedback and enthusiastic response, it truly warms my heart to feel welcome after such a long absence.

Amorphous had a point about skin tones, I did take stylized shortcuts with barely any variations, only midly red tones for the nose and cheeks. On a second glance it ...

Second post for the Soldier line, seems I've reached a limit on the number of attachments

Hello Wesnoth!

This commission has been on hold for the longest time (almost a year? Damn) and it shames me to admit that this is entirely on me due to work overload being what it is.
The good news is, at long last I'm ready to get back to it, already have in fact. I've completed the Burner line ...

You're right, that hand pose doesn't read properly. I tried to reference a few alternatives, not sure which is the best one though.

Continuing sketches with the Spearmaster

Thanks for the kind words Amorphous !

@doofus-01 : nothing to be sorry about, you're right that the slimmer hip looks better. I spend so much time looking at these portraits that after a while I can't see anymore these little mistakes; therefore an informed fresh eye is always welcome.
If anyone's ...

Thanks for the feedback. I probably won't be touching the scimitars, because I want to keep them distinct from the heavier curvy blades of the orcs. Human weapons in Wesnoth portraits mostly stick to semi-realistic proportions and I'd like to keep it that way. Besides, actual scimitar blades can be ...

Thanks for the feedback !

I finished the swordsman and modified the other units as per your suggestions, please let me know if anything still seems off.

Quick couple of comments :
- The item on the Firetrooper's head is not goggles but a metal mask - since the sprite seems to wear one - that I ...

Following up with the captain.

Next week is a holiday so I will be resting a bit, then there will be more coming the week after

Ink for the Spearguard.

His armor looks lighter than the soldier's despite being a higher level, but then so does the sprite

Compared to the sprite, maybe. But if you check the arm underneath, we're not all that wrong. Possibly the shield could be rotated ever so slightly and a tad further away from the body to make room for that arm. I'll let it rest a while a see how it looks when I pick it back up for color.
