You have a dwarf, you add him a human, you get a being taller than a plain human. Quite simple really


(j/k, I have no idea what the heck a dwarf human is supposed to be)

Redeth: Sharpening is always a good idea for metallic stuff, but apart from that, just making the darks darker isn't the key :P And I wouldn't desaturate the skin at all - I like the tint very, very much! It is a bit shiney, but to me that reads as sweaty in a warm environment that allows to go wit...

I think you're doing a pretty fine job with all of these. About the complains regarding the metallic look on the skin/armor, I tried running a couple of filters in order to differentiate some more the materials we are looking at. Sharpened, -20 brightness +30 contrast on the armor, desaturated the s...

Didn't try to be 'gritty', you mean? (Remember, kids. Realism is brown!) They just try too hard nowadays, they overdo it almost to the point where that's all there's to it. And then some more. I have no problem watching realistic violence, blood and gore on the screen, as in, say, "First Blood...

Those games didn't take themselves seriously, neither in the art department nor gameplay wise. I kind of miss that.

Is it just me or does it seem that the spearman is hanging forward for a fraction of a second to long? In real life it'd be uncomfortable to be leaning forward like that without heavy armor and stiff metal boots for even a small amount of time. I had completely forgotten about this :shock: Now that...

Artisticdude, your perseverance is most commendable! At this point I'd advice you to focus on a couple of key frames rather than trying to pull off a complex multiple-frames animation. Also, as silly as it may sound, try to think as if you were the actual unit you're animating, rather than seeing it...

Quite feisty! Me likes

Re-organized and cleaned up a bit furioso's massive collection of frankenpacks.

I tweaked his foot and added a simple frame in which the spearman seems to react to something (a noise perhaps) right before he turns around. It somehow de-robotizes the motion, if only slightly. I call it done, .zip below. Redeth, could I use your unmounted Grand Knight and... Paladin? You know, fr...

humm... I'm looking for suggestions about this one, before I submit it to Jet.

Kitty, I think your portraits have reached the point where they are no longer a representation of the game units on a "bigger scale"... they ARE the units, just as much as the sprites themselves, both in artistic value and spirit. The impression I get is that sprite and portrait become an ...

I like this.

The animation is not bad per se, but it doesn't represent what it's supposed to. Instead of a guy jumping backwards, you have a guy being pulled abruptly by an invisible string attached to the back of his head. The marionette effect. The act of jumping is not simply "move body upwards". In...

Keep working on it, wood, you're making progress. Think not of it as a puppet that you must move around, nor as a robot that is commanded to move, but as a small living creature that usually stands still but you suddenly manage to catch while it makes a move. You're not an "animator", you'...
