Campaign art - The Rise of Wesnoth

[Guidrion]

Love it!
I just noticed something. They both seem completly unarmed. Is it intended?

Playing this campaign is going to be so great to play with all those characters!

[Iris]

I want to start playing TRoW again in 1.9.x, but I just can't until the whole portrait set is complete and committed.

And sure, people don't hold a sword all the time while riding... I think it makes sense to not display their weapons in these portraits since they have very few lines of dialogue in the campaign (IIRC), and appear for the first time just as messengers of sorts. Not sure where they carry their lances, but...meh.

Squires...They're knights after all

Anyhow, I'll probably end adding some tiny bit of a sword (handle most likely) hanging somewhere in the belt region. But honestly, with such framing there's a dozen places you could place a sword and it'd still be hidden.

Edit : first round of shading for knight #1
Edit again : and for knight #2. Both still have a long way to go before they're complete, especially when it comes to defining their scale hauberks

[LordBob]

Final shading for knight #1. #2 is underway.

The armour (chain and scale) feels like it lacks a lot of contrast. The darks look about midtone.

[JackBarber]

Eh, hey is the tRoW-knight-1 supposed to be missing his thumb?
It seems a bit short if not. (On his left our right.)

Also his other hand seems to have a very thin thumb, not sure if these are intended but just thought I'd let you know.
(his right our left.)

[Reepurr]

Look closer. It's there. (left hand)

Both crits are incorrect. On his left, the thumb is in front of his palm. On his right, you're misreading the armour, his thumb is partly covered by metal.

Ok yeah I see the covered by the armor thing...
But on the left he still seems to have half a thumb... Is it bent in someway where you can't see the tip?
(I mean yeah I notice there IS a thumb there... But it seems to have been cut by the joint or whatever.)
Doesn't anyone else see what I'm talking about?

Foreshortening

Update for both knights

Umm, I don't actually see any changes at all in knight-1.

Erm erm ERM...That's because I forgot to export changes before posting the updated files
Knight #1 is now correctly replaced.

[Reepurr]

The second knight has really, really bright armour compared to the first knight.

[Bad_Dog]

That's because he has no pauldrons to cast a shadow on his mail.

[SFault]

If the horses have padded armors they could be a bit buffier at the edges. Eg. near the mouth, ear holes, eyes. It looks more like flat leather canvas. If they are not padded armor then no nitpicking here.
