The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

You could use photoscape for easy gif animations. It's free.

Uh... I'll save the melee and ranged for last. Working with multiple frames is scary D: I'm going to sidetrack and do an attempt at a defense. The face is the least thorny part of the Cactose, so he protects his face as a defense. I think I'll try to do a slamming animation for the melee, like a clu...

I'm starting to attempt animations now... hopefully I'll have at least one done soon!

Here's a first attempt at a melee attack. (I'm aware of the appearing/disappearing thorns, just seeing if this is going down the right path before fixing that)

Thread necro! Of course, it's my thread, and I don't see the need to make a new one when it is regarding the same subject. I finally have time to give it a melee, ranged, and defense sprite, but the problem is... I'm not sure exactly what to make the frames (i.e. what does he do for attack).

Sorry, I've been terribly busy. Feel free to do what you want with the sprite. I'll get to it when I have the time.

Wow. That REALLY looks like the portrait! Nice job!

I'd create the other frames, myself, too. The Cactose sprite was actually made from some heavy editing of the Wose walking corpse... you can see the similarities if you look at the body, though. The arms were made all by myself. My idea for melee is the front arm pivots and looks a bit straighter, a...

Perhaps you could use saurians in there as the dragon's "minions", like in TRoW?

I'm pretty sure I've gotten rid of all the pure black (The mouth is just really dark green, not black :p). I think it looks bad as a plain transparency with the checkered tile and everything with the brown/yellow spines (I had to darken them because they just looked silly), but when placed on a dese...

I need it to be woselike still, as it is a Cactus Wose, not just a walking Cactus, meaning it still needs the woselike features... I'm just trying to decide if this is the fine line where I stop, or if I should go further and do the vertical grooves that you suggest I do :/

I really don't know what I'm going to do about the root system... I didn't make this unit from scratch, fyi. I took the wose walking corpse and heavily edited it (you can see the similarities mostly in the body). The tree trunk is the best I can do... If I leave it like it is however, it may still g...

I like the flower idea a lot :D . I did notice the lack of spines, I'm still trying to make them look good. I haven't spined the bottom of the Cactose (Cactus Wose) because I do agree it needs to look more like a cactus then roots. I do think the spines I did add help make it more of a cactus, thoug...

Alright, I'm trying to make my first unit (Cactose, for a user made campaign... and if they don't want I'm sure I can somebody too.). So far, I've got a rough draft of an idle stance done... I'd just like to see how to improve it. (i.e. I'm not very good at making shadows). I made the eyes magenta b...

If you haven't already got somebody working on the cactose, I'd like to try. I've only got the part of the idle stance right now, but I'd like to see if you think this is going down the right path


Also, I think A1 just went missing D:
