ElvishKing's Eomu art thread

[Elvish_King]

Hi there, I had some different art thread years ago but now I decided to combine the work I did there with some new stuff to one big art thread.
The really first thing I did tn the past were these elves (Some of the elves are already animated, so have look here and here):

Then I wanted to do some custom merman becuase I found nothing good in the forums:

And my newest art which I want you to critisize is this:
These are some other direwolfriders, there is a..

...direwolf archer

and a...

...direwolf shaman

I hope you like it and I'm looking forward hearing good critics from you.

it's all looking good, but direwolf archer seems to be holding the bow in pretty weird way (the bowstring part should rotated in a way that is closer to the archer)

Doesn´t look weird to me, I interpreted it as a casual/relaxed way of holding the bow while more concerned with traveling than with an enemy.

Edit: I find it somewhat hard to read the Shaman. Is that light-colored line from the drum for strapping it over your shoulder? Also: is he holding a skull in his left hand while otherwise being barehanded/weaponless? If my guesses are true, I think the problem lies in the strap/arm combination as well es the (almost) missing transition from strap to drum.

They look awesome though

Hi, long time no progress...
Anyways, I did yesterday some (partly franken) mage units I wanted to share with you. They are a third advancement option for the mainline mage in my era.

Feel free to use them or to critic!

P.S. There is also a lvl.3 for the merman pirate line:

I was working on my era adding the new quenoth elves from 1.14. I noticed this faction would be lacking a full range unit, like the Desert Elves Archer in the previous wesnoth versions.
So I tried my best and drew one but I have no idea which range weapon would be suitable. This is him without any weapons.

I hope you have an idea for a cool and proper weapon: bow, sling, throwing knife/axe/spear, chakram, ... (or maybe something like this)
Feel free to comment on the sprite itself and on my problem.
