The War of Terrador - Complete overhaul time!

[Frenzik]

And Terradors Finest...this is better then the first. I gave him semi mech legs, in order to carry mini-gun. I changed the stereo typical look of the minigun from 6 barrels to 1 rotating barrel, so no i guess it looks more like a Vickers machine gun... I base it more on a Mini-gun from starwars that fires Superheated Plasma charges instead of a laser. Seeing as he is supposedly the best of the best, i gave him thick Armour. If they are fighting in space and on planets with less gravity, one would assume that they could ware more. The mech legs would help the poor guy out when hes in a spaceship, building. etc that has gravitational generators, (gut then again, why not just use magnetic boots?) I suppose the legs hel with moon walking long distances.(Not That kind of moon walking)

It's nice to see that someone wants to work on the portraits, and I like the design myself.
I think it'd be better to draw campaign-specific portraits first - I think there's more need for Alderman's portrait than some random guy that has two lines, though maybe the unit portraits can first be used this way, and I'm sure Dragonchampion would like to get portraits for all units eventually. And there was a word that the campaign will be changed.

On the portrait, I think that his right hand looks uncomfortable, and miniguns have more than one barrel because of reloading and cooling/overheating problems. I've seen drawings with the barrels enclosed in a tube, but I think it doesn't read as a minigun immediately.

[Frenzik]

Ok...I'll work on Alderman...

As for his right hand, i see what you mean... Also, i can make it into a 3 barreled minigun.

Legs are usually not shown in Wesnoth portraits. Also note the size:

The cavalier above is much bigger than your Terrador's Finest.

[Frenzik]

hmmm.....I should be able to fix that-the reason it's so small is becasue i scaled the image size down before uploading it....i'll redo it and have it up sometime in the next 2 days...Also, that guys riding a horse, so he appears much bigger

[Dragonchampion]

I REALLY like those sketches, Frenzik. Good work so far!

And incoming zipped file of the campaign! As soon as Reepurr updates it for work with the 1.9 series, I will get to work on the new race, and the new pictures too.

Sorry for the amount of time it took, and I do have a question... should I completely redo the main campaign, or start to work on a new one? I am thinking right now that the campaign needs a redux, thanks to the fact that it was made back when there were 2 different Xylash units and I had just finished the Zederians.

And who was working on the Zederians' sprites again? They seem to becoming forgotten, and it is going to look odd now that we have awesome new sprites for the Terradorians.

Reepurr: mainline considerations don't really apply to UMC. And sizes are easy to adjust

I think he said it so that the art would just fit in more with other things seen in-game.
Even if art isn't for a mainline campaign most people would think of it as a nice thing to have.

Also, of Terradors Finest the barrel/muzzle of the gun seems off center with the rest of the gun. a little bit to the right, not sure if it was intended or not though.
(Is the barrel the place bullets fire from, or the place to load bullets in a revolver...?)

[Frenzik]

Here's a different version, I changed his gun and altered some small things and colored and shaded him...Needs some more shading and textures. Click on the picture for a better view....And yeah, i did intend to put the muzzle at that odd angle-like a vickers machine gun. didn't 't really work though...

I think you should redo, or touch up the WoT main campaign...it was one of my favorites, but it still needs some polishing...

EDIT:I finished Alderman, but have not uploaded yet...will try it in a few days

I've done some fixes to the sprites I made, mostly TC changes (I didn't properly test TC before).

[Frenzik]

Nice... aI like Terradors finest, maybe a bit of a hulk, but it looks good.

The Spec ops looks nice, but i would ditch the round visors/lens. I think it would look better with a T of V shaped one

[Dragonchampion]

I hate to say it, but I think the Finest's chest is too well defined... makes him look like a girl.

Also, the Specops seems a little to bulky for me. The Specops, in my opinion, are the kind of fast, silent soldiers that move quickly in their custom designed armor.

WiP for new SpecOps. Rifle's not finished and I'm not really happy with the helmet. I'll be grateful for any comments and critique.

I'll fix Finest sometime soon when I'll get the wings right - I just want to be done with the guy at last. The previous version of SpecOps will probably be redrawn a bit to make a sprite in Captain or Heavy Weapons line - tell me if it'll be ok, maybe you'd like something else there.

[Reepurr]

When you're standing like that, you'll want your legs to be pretty grounded. Straight down. Judging by the shin guards this guy's wearing, he's got his knees bent in a really awkward way, and his shins are going behind him. As an amateur artist I find that...weird.

The shinguards are also (practically) pillowed by the way.

[Frenzik]

I second that...Otherwise, I REALLY like the Lens...Alter the Forehead and change his stance, otherwise, nice work!
