The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hello all, Been sort of busy, but fortunately managed to find some time/motivation for the remaining portraits. I decided to rework on Alderot and Athena portraits. Here comes the WIP on linework. I was thinking to swap the veil surrounding her figure with watery flow, and I still am, though technic...

hey, thumbs up for Rakshas portrait. One small thing I'd like to warn you about though, it's a very easy fix anyway. The axe and his right shoulder pad make a tangent, so I guess either cropping the axe or making it a bit bigger in size should fix the problem.

Thank you all! I agree with all of the C&Cs heartily. Taking them into account I tried to make some corrections. I revised the hair for Renaldo and Hilldon, put a tiny hairline for Marko, reworked the pattern+shading for Renaldo. Bob: I am actually quite fond of the face of Renaldo as it is. Giv...

Thanks Tet. Yeah definitely there's a difference because I don't yet have a systematic shading method and usually end up dribbling my wacom pen over the tablet :) And of course I keep my old artwork, and they are also always available to whomever as long as they bother themselves digging those from ...

Hilldon shaded:

next Marko.

Thank you TSI. Yes I am aware of that, though the reference I used for the armor had somewhat a similar lightsource (aka flashlight! :P), and I didn't see any harm executing something parallel to what I see. I did the shading for Renaldo. I am.. well, dubious about the way I shaded the pattern of hi...

Hello all, Gaddon shaded. I'll continue with Renaldo. Natasiel: I am... FLATTERED! :) I will certainly take your comments into consideration. I may give Hugo a punkish look as you guys have suggested. For the ogre, I posted that as part of a conceptual investigation - when I look at it now I can tel...

Just a quick thumbs up for your great work. The detail and crispiness of your linework always amazes me!

On another note, I don't see anything wrong with Drogan portrait - the way arms are positioned and scaled actually gives a nice depth to the figure.

Frogger: You mean they are all brooding sort? :) haha good point, haven't noticed that honestly. Let's also keep in mind that these are just flats though, and I usually spend some considerable time further playing on my linework while shading, so I'm hoping even under such a state of affairs they wi...

*cough cough* that's supposed to be Hilldon, the no good scoundrel, not a peasant... but thanks a lot for the encouragement jb! :) I'm putting the flats for Marko and Alderot. Bob said Alderot should be old, and this is as old as I could dare to go (something 50s?), as I thought he should still be o...

Gah.. I wish I had bothered myself reading about all these, now my ogres seem so out of place... thanks a lot though johndh. :) I decided to work on a couple of more flats, for Renaldo and Hilldon, respectively (yay, movies turn out to be such great source of reference! My models for both of these w...

Been busy... now I'm back :) kitty: thanks :) and yes, I agree on your overall observation on hands, will try to do that. FAAB: I see. Honestly I have no idea what we mean by ogres in Wesnoth. I suspect they are a species of sorts, though their cultural traits etc hasn't been elaborated much by the ...

That's a great idea FAAB! Frogger: I wasn't done with shading. But I can't agree more, my anatomical knowledge is far from good and that reflects to shading no matter what :( Though it's my hope what I'm posting below is somewhat adressing the flatness you mention. Oh and this one I will call finish...

some preliminary shading on Mocco+anatomical fixes (his right upper arm was so long.. !) edit: oh and I'm still open to any creative designs for Mocco's tattoo, otherwise.. I will go for something lame as I'm very ignorant about them (for those that do not know the campaign, he's a jailer on an isla...

Aha, here comes Mocco, flats.

I wish to put a tattoo on his right forearm, any suggestions?

Till then, I'll start something for the local fat milita leader (gah.. so sad I can't check their names).
