Several of our mainline campaigns are in the works for upgrades at the moment, which includes adding characters and enhancing existing scenarios. We are looking for more artwork to supplement these upgrades, including the following:
We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
My idea is this; to make life easier on prospective Frankensteiners, would it be possible to organize a collection of heads, horses, shields, swords, spears, axes, bows, helms, and various other trinkets into a 'palette', in the same way some artists use an overlay with the selected colours around...
NOTE: This document isn't intended to be set in stone - if you think something's missing or wrong, please say so. Make a thread called Critique Guideline Discussion if you wish to discuss it: and have all posts regarding it there, to cut down on noisy threads.
The truth is that, for every semi-competent artist producing art for Wesnoth, there are at least 10 people designing campaigns and factions. Doing art for a faction is much more time consuming than “designing” all but the most meticulously balanced faction. Lots of...
In this thread I share my art - for the most part - portaits and concepts for GSE aka The Great Steppe Era ( for the purposes of critique, feedback and improvement.
Unfortunately, I am lousy at technical stuff, as a result - my first two portraits (witch and vampire) were not originally in 400x400...
I am currently working on a campaign for The Battle for Wesnoth and need some advice on creating art assets. I am looking for the best techniques for Wesnoth style pixel art.
Can you recommend any tools or resources for beginners?
My story on why I'm getting back to wesnoth after more than 10 years begins with a snarky remark from my best friend.
“ Why are you trying to use photoshop on windows when you could use an open source equivalent on linux ? ”
“ I don't know , I replied. Why are you play a proprietary...
I'm trying to figure out Wesnoth style, so I tried taking a photo of a terracotta warrior as reference and the proportions of the Elvish Fighter as another reference in order to make a sprite. This is what I came up with. I don't plan on using this in-game, but I want to learn Wesnoth style. What...
TL;DR: Most of the units I finished ended up in the mainline as of 1.18. If you want to use the new Saurian units in 1.16, download the Saurian Pack addon.

As you might guess, saurians are my favorite race in Wesnoth by far. I'm surprised that there are no additional...

South of Wesnoth D22BB96B-C03A-42B0-8346-FC7F4F434F2D.png is an up and coming campaign about a lost Wesnothian trade post in the Southern Desert established during the reign of Haldric. The rise and terror of the evil Queen Asheviere and the resulting civil war disrupts contact between the Kingdom...
I've started making a skeletal dragon portrait, hopefully it will be good enough for the mainline. I've made this to show everyone what I'm doing, this is what I've done so far. It's just the outline currently but I will finish it, probably not soon though but depending on how much time i put into...
Hi, all. I'm rather new to the forums and this is my first post (though I have been lurking for a while), so please bear with me if I'm not very knowledgeable on the workings of the forums. :) (I have read the Guidelines and such, but that can only do you so much when you first join a community,...
What would it consist of? Well, anyone willing would have a week to make a themed graphic, where a few guidelines would be specified, such as: theme, race, purpose (and whatever else you yourself propose) e.g.: theme: foot scout; race: unspecified/any; purpose:...
Hey I am trying to create some art, but I don't really know the right program. I need a program that I can create frankensteins with, I am using Windos paint but there I can only copy and paste rectangular pieces and rotate them rather freely. I'd like a program that has the same simple interface...
This thread shows my progress concerning the custom art of my era .
6 factions are posted and discussed. The most recent two faction are not yet implemented in the era.
I just figured id check first, but i was gonna recomend this idea anyway, so there is a website called “hero forge” where one can design 3d models of characters, and i was curious if those could be used as a sort of reference for portraits.
Im sort of drawing over a screenshoot of one rigth now,...
Greetings everybody,
I am new to making units and coding for wesnoth, and I thought it'd be good to get some feedback on my art, so i'll be posting it all here.
My first project with drawing art has been a arctic faction, mostly consisting of penguins. But also with Polar bears, Seals, Walrus's and...
Recently on the discord server, Maksiu has been creating a pixel art competition. Each week (or so) a theme will be released. Then after all submissions are in, then there will be voting period.
A thought from a few months ago, about doing schedules as a weekly challenge, came back to me. I...
Hey, I know I know, style of tbfw is indeed pixel art...
but I am wondering, does it make sense to try doing things in higher resolution,
and then scale it in code of the unit?
Like for example, I want to make a unit for my campaign, in 175x175 pixels instead of 72x72.
And I never really did...

While the server was down, I did get to work on anatomy. These are WIP, but if there is bad anatomy now, improved shading isn't going to fix it, so fire away.
These are the bad guys. They are supposed to be human-like,...
There are some pretty cool bear mounted warriors in the Reign of Lords Era. I was hoping someone with better art skills than me could make some masked variants for my campaign.
It features female dwarves, and the masked units have help a convenient fix for this so far. (Far enough in the future...
Hi! Some may have already seen me on this forum. Putting aside the idea of using in redrawing loyalist (I draw well enough, what would qualify for mainline) I started to draw a faction of dark elves. I know I'm not the first, not I last, but not the one proposed in the Addons factions of drow I...
Hello! I'm creating a campaign that will take place around 24,000 years BW. :geek:
I would like to know if there's someone here who could edit portraits for me. I'll be using some portraits from the main line and would like to make some changes. However, I'm not very familiar with image editing,...
Hi! Some of you may already know this, but there is an online platform that creates images starting from natural languages. it is called DALL-E .
True artists might be horrified by the concept, but I think it would be a great resource for UMC creators, especially for story screens. There are 50...
I need help to create images for my campaign (animations, frames, idle...) for fiery and glacial units (for both parts: shamans, ranged units, tank units, leaders, guardians, ... ).
if it's NOT possible, is there any fractions or campaign that contain such units that I can use freely?
:oops:...
