Re: Mechanical's art
These are really nice sprites, but how do they look in game when some of them turn and the stark shadows switch sides?

Re: Mechanical's art
I am curious, how you will handle TC. I only used some quick filters on your work to check full body TC. I could not even see recolored since I am not having the old TC viewer ready right now. Aim would be to make it so, that the TC-red looks similar to your original. I did achieve that with other red items in the past. So it might be possible to make it look the same in red using TC-red only.

Re: Mechanical's art
Forest Dragon, add shades stands between them, because smooth surfaces are covered evenly . If you have nothing to do , can try to do it , I doubt it will turn out better .
Beetlenaut, I think this problem can be solved by drawing the reflected frames with the correct lighting.
Wussel, and after I told you the first time , how and when I will use the vehicle . Persistent questions about it are beginning to annoy me .

Re: Mechanical's art
Some new art. Fixed melee line ( split by type of damage was more logical ) , a new leveling line is drawn to the eye - Golem , and the general appearance of infernal faction mechanisms (some new amendments to were not included ) . It remains to finalize a few lines , put the TC , and the faction is ready !

Re: Mechanical's art
good job
well, i think the lvl3 triangle lacks detail compared to lvl2 (what's the point of removing those braziers anyway? they look cool on the lvl2, so they should be the same on lvl3, just bigger, or more numeroues)

Re: Mechanical's art
On the whole I am very impressed.
It is only my personal opinion that some of the lv 1 units look a little too organic for my tastes but I think that you have done a very good job.
You should work on a remake of that campaign where they guy wanted to drink something called a peppi pop while mutants and robots were invading his underground lair!

Faction infernal mechanisms over. Below you can see an image of her long-awaited TC. The next fraction is a cyber - undead . A sketch of one of its infantry :

Re: Mechanical's art
looks interesting, but i think you are skipping faction ideas too quickly, like:
oh, 1 unit from an entirely new faction
then:
oh, 1 unit from another entirely new faction
and then:
oh, a few units from once again another entirely new faction
oh, 1 unit from an entirely new faction
then:
oh, 1 unit from another entirely new faction
and then:
oh, a few units from once again another entirely new faction

Re: Mechanical's art
I draw no solid fraction, and just different ideas. Faction draw full only if the idea is really good and interesting.
