Re: Troll Hero
Since this is up here, it might as well have something useful added.
The current state of the Great Troll sprite, with Jertrel's magic touch.
Perhaps I should visit the irc channel more often so stuff like this'd be more common.

I wish I had more time in my hands.
Re: Troll Hero
I assume the size of the hammer is a joke...right?
Re: Troll Hero
A big troll needs a big hammer. We've been over this issue already.

Right, I vaguely remembered some debate about it, but didn't search for it since it wasn't in this thread.Eternal wrote:A big troll needs a big hammer. We've been over this issue already.
Re: Troll Hero
It doesn't look any more ridiculous than the regular Troll Warrior's hammer.

Re: Troll Hero
Personally, I'm with zookeeper, it could stand to be a touch smaller to my mind. But I've discussed it with Jet and he feels somewhat differently.
I would say, however, that the lighting direction on the hammer and one the troll himself to some extent is not consistent with most wesnoth units - the troll feels like he's lit from front on, and the hammer from lower left.

Re: Troll Hero
he seems a little shiny to me, but I like how big the hammer is.
If that were an MTG card the flavor text would read: "Big Trolls use Big Hammers."

Re: Troll Hero
great hammer, i mean really nice and beatifull hammer and troll. keep it like it is. imho
sorry for bad english
Re: Troll Hero
Wow! Great pose and details on the Great Troll, really amazing!
Re: Troll Hero
IMHO, the hammer's fine (though it is extravagantly big) but the right hand seems to have too much fingers.
I'm not really around any more, but you can find me in TvTropes.
Re: Troll Hero
I don't know if it has too many fingers or not, but the hand is definitely too dark. The lighting on most wesnoth units comes from our right. Overall, his entire left arm needs to be lightened up. Hammerhead... I'm going to have to agree with Zookeeper and thespaceinvader. I think it is too large.

Re: Troll Hero
Isn't this topic a bit old? Regardless...
Wow, looks awesome! Great job on that, man.
My only quibble besides what the above posts mention (and it might be just my opinion) is that his head seems a bit small in relation to his body.

Re: Troll Hero
We'll make some tweaks before we add it - the topic was bumped by a person who offered an alternative Great Troll which we won't be using. I hope that someone might be willing to animate it once we finalise a base frame.

Re: Troll Hero
One of the many things which has come up here: thinking about anims for the Great Troll. Here's a kickback with a proposal for the hammer: just a little more sanely sized, lighting working a bit better, and perhaps more importantly, lined up with the handle.
I'm thinking about animations, but probably won't come up with anything before the end of FOSDEM.

Re: Troll Hero
now that you're bringing this up im not sure if the visible fangs suit him..at least not such clean bright ones, might think about it before trying to animate
