Order of Magic art

Post by Nightshayde »

This will be where i post any updates on art for my new Order of Magic faction. All of the sprites are pretty much just edits and frankies, so I'll slowly be updating them. I've started work on the Chosen unit, and I'd like to know what everyone's opinion is.

The older one looks better than the new one. What's the point of redoing frankensteins if they look so good?

All the units look too similar, and i want to improve on spriting.

Not sure if the worse quality is worth it. You might want to improve your skills at spriting by animating them.

Say what???

Go for making new sprites if you want to, Nightshayde. Really look at the mainline units to get the proportions similar, and zoom in on the portions of sprites that you'd like to mimic or use as a model (such as the Loyalist Lieutenant torso armor, for a random example), to see the pixel patterns. Your first sprites will not be so good, but the same was true for everyone else, don't get discouraged.
