Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
You're correct, the jousting lance with vamplate is pretty odd in the setting. I think we're more after a javelin-like stabbing spear like the mainline spearman's, I suspect it's just a lance because Turin thought it looked good, but its purpose is to stab enemies that have been caught in the lasso, so a lance doesn't seem appropriate.Yeah, I was wondering about that, and leaving the level 3 aside for now sounds good. On another note, how should I depict the Laquerius and Laquerius Fabers' lances? The Faber's current sprite has something that looks like a jousting lance, which doesn't seem very fitting for an unmounted unit. Should I go with a mainly wooden body which has vamplate, or basically clean up the current designs?

But perhaps 'maintainer' is too strong a word.

Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
just clarifying are all of the stormlord line to have a staff? (starting with stave for windlasher and getting larger for the stormlord)
Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
Yes. The raindancer will continue with the knife, but the windlasher, tempest and stormlord will have impact weapons.

Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
Quick update on the attack animation. Still haven't added the recovery frames, among other things.

I think he should have more wind up before he attacks, right now it looks a little weak.

Hey again,
Sorry that it's been a while since I posted. I tried to cover a bit more the previous wesnoth style and the wesnoth orcs. Here is one of my new sketches for the imperial orcs...

Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
Here's a rendered version... I'm quite happy with it. Maybe you have some other ideas or critics on it.
Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
I feel as though you lost the spirit of the inotial sketch (something I have done a few times). The rendered version also has some drawing issues, mainly perspective. A quick draw over:

Re: Imperial Era Art Project (Workin' on Orcin')
Sorry for the slow progress! I've been running into a lot of complications recently. I was actually planning on posting an essentially finished Paegnirius and Feral Bestiarius, but a family member accidentally deleted a lot of my files a few days ago, so I've lost a lot of motivation for working on pixel art in general. Ah, well, that's life for you.
Here's a slight update on the attack animation. I could probably stand to exaggerate the windup even more, and there's a lot of smoothing out to do. However, the overall motion of the animation is pretty much there, so I think I can start fleshing it out soon.
