Learning some new software and trying out a new style. Like the clean lines, but definately not as quick as I suspected it would be. If any one would like to collaborate give a shout. Looking for interesting ideas, especially good reference pics.

Cheers!

You can actually feel the emotions shown...

Are you drawing for any particular campaign in mind?

Isn't their skin tone a bit too close to the orcs'?

Those are awesomeness. More please!

Isn't their skin tone a bit too close to the orcs'?

is there some "only one species per skin tone" rule that the Wesnothian gods are enforcing?

No I'm just pointing that out.

If some humans have the same skin tone as orcs than one must assume orcs' don't have a race specific tan. Unlike saurians (green) for example.
I can't understand why he wanted them this colour, but the choice of colour does remind a lot of orcs.

They look useful as portraits for the Khalifa...
...No wonder they look familiar.

Yes. Drakes have slight variations, but the other races don't.

These look great, nice work.

There are a couple of minor niggles that bug me a little:

- the hat of the second one strikes me as a little shapeless, i think partly because of the shading - it seems a little pillow shaded i think.

- the armour of the third seems to have all its anatomical detail too high up - the bottom of the pecs seem to fall above where they should, and the abs begin before the pecs under the armour would end...

- the final one's face seems set very far down his head - he appears to have an enormous forehead and almost no chin. This gives him kind of a wise old scholar look, which might be what you're aiming for, but i'm not sure.

The style's crisp and clean, and you're coming out with some really characterful faces. The hair and beards look particularly good. Great work

Which program is it you're starting up with, it's producing some good results.

Wow. A model critique! Everything is stated perfectly!

These are coming along nicely. I like the second one most.

Weeksy · Post by **Weeksy** » February 7th, 2008, 11:08 pm

I like them a lot, especially the expressions.

Three things though-

4's hat is really really shiny (for a hat)... I've never seen any hat like that, and would be really interested in finding out what material would be like that, as even leather isn't that shiny for very long.

3's hat has a shape that isn't in line with its shading. Currently it's shaded almost like a cylinder, while the shape makes it look like it's built like an acorn.

The outlines of the tops of 2's head and 3/4's hats are a bit thick, thinning this might solve some of the shading problems for 3.

These are really good I agree. There are some minor problems which have already been pointed out, but nothing that would stop them from being used, really. The only major issues I see are with p1.png (the woman). The line on her nose looks very out of place, and the shadows on her face and neck look somehow wrong.

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » February 8th, 2008, 10:46 am

Very nice. I like p2 the best.

kSeth · Post by **kSeth** » May 4th, 2008, 6:02 pm

wah, talk about a late update hah! Forum restrictions won't let me attach more then 3 pics the first post, so forgive the disorganization.

Thanks all for the constructive feedback, was very valuable and helped me hammer out the revisions.

anakayub: Wasn't planning on any campaign in particular, more just for builders in general looking for assets

thespaceinvader: I'm using good ole' Flash, finding it's vector tools more flexible and intuitive to my workflow then Illustrator.
