Yeah....and in totally the wrong thread, kthxu.....

As punishment I demand you put a link to this thread in your signature for 30 days.

btw, his new avatar is what I originally imagined an "elvish pillager" to be. I'm glad to see reality finally catches up with fantasy.

It was the first thread I happened to see it in. And I refuse your punishment.

That is always what we do, turin. Thanks for your permission though.

Yeah, but most of the time I object for obscure, really subjective reasons. This time, I'm objecting because it's just disgusting.

Flesh Golems! Sweetness!

Okay, time to comment on the sprites:

They're all decent or better, but only the flesh golem and eyeball make sense in the faction. The eye would need more work, like wings or something else I dont know what, in order to really be a unit, but the flesh golem looks like a nice level 2 sprite. Perhaps even level 3 - I don't know (probably level 2).

If you ever have the urge to draw some creepy isht, please feel free to post it so we can be inspired by it. In the meatime I will get to these guys soon, I promise. (soon = within 7 days)

Then, once these guys are added, the EOM will go Beta and true playtesting and balancing will begin.

This is kinda cheap, but bloodbat wings do their job.

I don't like the addition of viens in the eye. It looked a lot cooler IMO with just a pupil and retina.

I like the veins, and the wings can do for now.

This is what I had in mind for the blue-skinned creatures:
(see below)

Also, I'll put up some stuff in a little bit. I'm going to try my hand at some art.

removed pic - sprite found below!!

Okay, here's an example image for the Thought Stealer. The colors suck, but the shape and form are close to what I want.

If someone would like to take this inspiration and run with it, or simply edit this so it looks good, I'd appreciate it.

-edit-

added a crunched blue-skinned creature into a hex (needs color change)

-edit2-
HOLY CRAP THAT LOOKS TIGHT!!!!

(maybe they don't need blue skin after all???

)

I had a go, although it came out differently, but ok, could be used for something even if it isn't the blue guys.

That's pretty neat. It definitely looks cleaner than what I posted.

Now, does the sprite only have 1 arm and 3 legs? It's fine if that's the case, but I just want to know if I'm viewing it correctly.

no, 2 arms, 2 legs (the blue ended ones are arms, and the short stubby ones are legs). I would have thought that it was obvious.

I'm really sorry, but what the hell is that thing Ranger!?!? In all honesty it looks robotic IMHO, and nothing (head,limbs, etc.) is relatively recognizable. Unless you want it to be a misshapen flesh-sack JW.
