It looks a bit smooth, and probably too dark. But otherwise, good! The sword looks rather glassy, instead of like steel. I think this is because of the big reflection.

I think it's better too. Nice job.

The issues I see are:
- Its right shoulder is a bit too square for the way the arm is held.
- It's a little unclear to me what is going on with the sword and left hand. Maybe try making the sword fatter near the end, like it's coming up out of the page/screen.

BEWARE, BAD DRAWINGS AHEAD! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yeah, the sword looks so much more sword-like.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me the sword is being held like this:

I think it should be more like this:

are any of your units actually animated?

if you ever make a fully animated unit i would love to put them in GEB. The Exiles could always use more fantastically unique units.

main image

3+ melee attack

3+ ranged attack

1 or 2 defense

The problem with animating frankies is that all the parts animate differently, so it looks weird..... not that it couldn't be done. 8)

Well, I can draw some things myself, like the lizard and the Drake, but it takes much longer time than using frankie parts... But I am not going to make sprites for some time, because I'm making a multiplayer survival named The Zones.

Nothing frankie, completely from scratch. Coud this be used somewhere? It's meant to be a lich student or some dark mage. :)

And here's another from scratch sprite. Goblin. Can this be used somewhere? :)

:hmm: The second one looks a bit thin and 2D and doesn't really fit wesnoth style but the top one is really good and could perhaps be used as a vampire
The goblin guy has a great spear though :)

:? Not really, all units are both handed, because they get mirrored based on attack direction.
