artisticdude's Art

[SFault]

It looks like the head is strongly illuminated, but there isn't really any shadow in the neck below the jaw.

[Telaron]

The eye is rather hard to pick out from the rest of his head.

[Captain_Wrathbow]

...does it have eyes? I don't see any at all...

[Major]

Is it in any way based on ALIEN?

[artisticdude]

No, more on a chameleon head, actually. And it doesn't (or it's not supposed to) have eyes.

[Neilarmius]

Lighting may need work. I'm curious to see how the rest of the unit looks. Will it be a two-legs type freak?

[artisticdude]

Hmm, I guess I could go with that (it would be easier than creating a humanoid body, as I don't have to get the right proportions ).


But I'm getting kinda tired of generating random units. Does anyone need a sprite for their campaign hero or monster or something that you wouldn't mind me having a go at? I like making pixel art, but I prefer to have a purpose to it.

EDIT: More random art, a sci-fi metallic bump that shoots lightning.

Perhaps you could check on specific campaigns instead of posting it in your own thread; I know a lot of units lack death animations in mainline. You could go for some of that if you want a go at it.

There's a better chance for them to find you that way anyhow.

[artisticdude]

Heh, I can occasionally pull off a decent sprite, but I'm horrible at animating, so my attempts at death animations would be big-time awful (that's not to say I won't try at some point, if I can ever work up the courage ). But you're right about the campaign threads vs this thread, thanks for the advice there.

[Telaron]

I could probably fit that lightening lamp into a scenario I'm working on... May I try?

[artisticdude]

You mean someone can actually use that thing? By all means, if you feel like you can use it, feel free. I doubt anyone else wants it.

[Neilarmius]

I wouldn't out your complete trust in finding something to sprite on campaign threads - I imagine campaign authors have so simultaneous demands on their time searching out artists drops off the priority list. I found a few good opportunity to help the art of a campaign by actually playing them until I saw a place holder image.

[Captain_Wrathbow]

Yes! Someone offering to do art!

Here it is, I know it's really weird:

A Winged Ogre.

...an ogre that a necromancer merged with a gryphon. Currently as a placeholder I am using a horrible frankenstein of ogre+gryphon.

Yeah, frighteningly bad art...

The weapon should be a scythe. And about lvl 2-3 size. It's a secondary-hero unit in my campaign.

Think you can do that?

[artisticdude]

Sure, I'll give it a shot, though I can't promise anything... I've never tried wings before. But I'll do my best.

[Captain_Wrathbow]

Then it'll be good practice.

It doesn't have to be perfect, really as long as it's better than my frankenstein it's good enough for me.

Thanks!
