Re: Mermaid Initiate Replacement
There are a few points that attract attention, but I am not sure. Attached the way I would expect them to be, albeit it seems I might have exaggerated (I guess they are most visible when you put the images on top of each other). 1) The upper start of pectoral of the right hand seems to be low. This ...

Re: Gossamer Sprites and Portrait.[Portrait getting better]
the skirt must have a chain mail, tried to make it like in the tutorials, yesterday night, failed horribly. Guess I was sleepy XD This chainmail tutorial ? As I understand, it concentrates mostly on the highlights, letting the viewer's brain fill in the darks that are kept more vague. Two more thin...

[...] she has to have at least 16 since two years later she gave birth to Eldred. [...] Real life evidence contradicts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers , so she could have married at age 3 and given birth at 5, and (if I understood your post correctly) that would put her...

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Strangely, I see nothing wrong with the left arm :hmm: If anything, the body seems shaded in such way that the front surface looks very flat. I suspect there might be more shadow on the cloak at the right side of the chest, and maybe just highlight at the left edge of the cloak (if that would make t...

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Ashie: Overall A, including pose, chubbiness, dress and headgear. Especially hands of A looks like a pure win with the wrist bend. Some miscellaneous impressions: B's head comes across as more proud than A, and the higher hands have the effect of looking more tense. C has a posture like someone who ...

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
i wonder what would happen after cropping? will delf appear out of balance, suggesting that he is about to make a movement with his staff that would move the body forward? i don't think i very clearly understand what the body curve discussion is about. for example, a spear pose from youtube, where t...

Re: An usrukhar- Delfadors memoirs
there is something about the secondary highlight arch at the back of the head. maybe there is too much of it, or it is too smooth, or something else, maybe something about saturation, i don't know. is the material semi-transparent? the trouble is that it makes the side of the head look hollow. took ...

Re: LordBob's commissionned work
Shoulders seem too broad, esp. the right shoulder with the highlight on it, and the body looking rather lean with the cast shadow at the side. About the brown collar and shoulder on their own (without the body), isn't the collar thing supposed to cover the shoulder? And wouldn't it look weird if it ...

Re: Unit sprites for After the Storm
one more reference that i remembered, thinking about more generic imp pictures, bit similar to the current imps: homm 3 imp . not extremely stereotypical in the sense that the head does not look like a disfigured dog head. but anyway, it seems to be in the different direction (not that i would know ...

Re: Unit sprites for After the Storm
I always thought imps in IftU/AtS were from Doom, and might even have some copyright issues. And sarcastically I thought: the Doom game has become the source of education about folklore creatures. doom imp medieval imps To my knowledge, imps in folklore were magical servants of a witch, resembling s...

Re: The Era of Legions Sprite Conglomeration and Progress
reiterating the above, i'd suggest to use team color for, say, the skins or the wings. perhaps you might try to mix some white (or pale yellow) into the highlights, because the red looks extremely saturated. but on the other hand, it looks like you should know that already. (and trying to avoid writ...

Re: homunculus's two pixels
That is freaky, I thought at first it was a human victim eaten by the clam... That was major helpful comment, didn't think of that. So perhaps I should do a tongue-like leg after all. Add to that the human leg having a bone inside which might not go well with the campaign main theme. Don't have any...

invert the image, maybe?
