Setanesh Faction (Art Thread)

[Mirion147]

The style of the sprites differs drastically, they don't look like they're from the same faction, if even era. And the siege tower still looks like it's leaning over to me, at the top. Maybe move the upper box left one or two pixels?

To be honest, I'd create my own sprites rather than using Wayfarer's, which are a drastically different style, as Mirion pointed out. You could use Wayfarer's sprites as the bases for your own units, but currently they look rather out of place with your own sprites.

The siege tower is meant to be shifted forward a bit, because that's how they were built.

As far as Wayfarer's sprites go, i'm pretty happy with how they fit, myself, but I may redo the heads/faces for the druid line.

[Mirion147]

You can't mix styles that differ that much in one sprite. That's like sticking the old stuffed lion head on the new computer graphiced aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia. It just wouldn't match.

Finished for now; I need a lot of critique though, especially on the metal (intended to be metal) parts.

EDIT: Removed.

[Frogger5]

Good work Just one thing.
Right now the metal looks rounded, in waves, like corrugated iron on a larger scale. Is this intentional?

[SFault]

There's something tricky in the perspective. To me it looks like the upper part is leaning to it's left, not forward. It should cover more of the bottom part's top from the front (if I understood the the purpose correctly).

Fixed faces on the Druid line, fixed spearhead on Hunter, new Giant Spider.

Yes.


EDIT: I honestly think I'll just break and use the mainline Giant Spider graphic, because even though I like the legs of this one better, it's worse overall.

Yes.

Great
Come to think of it, it seems more practical.

The mainline cave spider will be getting replacement graphics one of these days. You've just reminded me that i've had them sat on my HDD for like, months, and not remembered to commit them. Thanks.

I really like all the artwork (especially the landsknecht) but am I the only one who thinks the tree ent and dryad is too blurry?

[Issyl]

It's been quite a while since I've done anything (more than a month). Schoolwork has been hitting me hard.

Anyway, here are a couple updates; general shading and lighting improvements on the Siege Tower, and a new blade for the Trovadorismo (Troubadour uploaded for comparison).

They are rather blurry, but my idea was that this represents moss or something similar. I may end up giving them harder edges and borders, because a lot of people seem to think the same.

EDIT: Removed Siege Tower.

[Issyl]

Updates on some non-faction stuff.

[Issyl]

New Dryad line, new Shapeshifter.

[Captain_Wrathbow]

On the dryads, I think levels 1 and 2 look a bit too similar...
