Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Now it feels more complete! The crystal on the staff is a bit small though...Quietus wrote: With a little editing that can be done =D
Though im not great with this
Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Yeah, i was going for a silver mage approach. He isnt as powerful as the warlock so his staff is smaller =DEspreon wrote:Now it feels more complete! The crystal on the staff is a bit small though...Quietus wrote: With a little editing that can be done =D

Here is the chieftain. He initially didnt intend to have a shield, but he looks too cool with it. If i have to remove it then meh, i might also re-do his horns and face to look more like the king
EDIT: oh and dont worry i ahvnt forgotten his ranged weopon, he'll have a seperate frame for that

Re: Minotaur Faction Art
The Chieftain is very nice! With the Mystic's staff being smaller because he is weaker than the Warlock, but the Mystic's staff crystal is smaller than the Shaman's...Quietus wrote: Yeah, i was going for a silver mage approach. He isnt as powerful as the warlock so his staff is smaller =D

Also for now the Savage will use a kusarigama until you start doing the Savage's whip frames...
Re: Minotaur Faction Art
OK ^^, im toying with the idea of making the minotaur king smaller, and a bit like the chieftain, as i really do like the chieftain sprite as he is, and changing him too much might make him worse.

I'll also try and get the Forest Raider sprite done tonight. Im really in the mood for get this faction finnished, as ive seen so many good factions fall due to lack of artwork.
Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Ok forest raider is done
for once i made a bow which doesnt look bad lol. Im thinking of completly re-doing the minotaur king sprite with something a little smaller and looking more like the chieftain. Obviously i keep the current one as he is jsut too cool to just throw away, and i might put him in a campagin or something lol. Im also going to re-do bits of the cataphract as that is the other sprite i dnt like.
EDIT: here is the edited Cataphract sprite, just editing the legs region

Re: Minotaur Faction Art
The Forest Raider is very nice! So the bow is the FR line's primary weapon?
Oh and I think redoing the King is not top priority, I think you should start doing the Giant Eagle line's sprites (I bet the appearence of a minotaur/eagle hybrid would be awesome)!

Yes and no, his main weapon in theory is the sword, but he has a ranged weaopn unlike the Knight. The reason why i had the base frame with a bow, is because it just puts emphasis on the fact that he is the ranged choice.
Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Oh, but maybe put the bow to the side (like on its waist?), its more of a mainline thing to prominently show the primary weapon. I suggest you make a really big sword for the FR line!Quietus wrote:

Also are you planning on doing the Giant Eagle line anytime soon? (We really need flying units, since the only flying unit ATM is the Mystic...).

I like the way you thinkEspreon wrote:I suggest you make a really big sword for the FR line!

TBH ive been putting it off, i gave it a half hearted attempt about a month ago but i really couldnt get the anatomy right for it. IM better at people. For the moment we could just use the gryphin sprite in the data/core. The eagle and roc will probably be the last two sprite's i'll do.Espreon wrote:Also are you planning on doing the Giant Eagle line anytime soon?

Re: Minotaur Faction Art
A literal giant eagle would be boring... I was thinking it could be be a minotaur with wings, the wings would be connected to the body on the back of the shoulders so the arms could still be functional, the wings would be a curvy type so they overlap on the front of they body when the wings aren't in use.Quietus wrote: TBH ive been putting it off, i gave it a half hearted attempt about a month ago but i really couldnt get the anatomy right for it.

Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Hmm so you're suggesting a slightly commical unit? Basically a Minotaur who has man-made(well minotaur-made) wings? interesting.. it would be alot easier for me to sprite, ill have a play around on gimpEspreon wrote:A literal giant eagle would be boring...

Re: Minotaur Faction Art
No, I meant the Giant Eagle line (wings and all) be a result of Faelei's curses like the Centaurs.Quietus wrote:Hmm so you're suggesting a slightly commical unit?

Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Oh, Quietus for the Elder some of the magenta is not affected by the TC function...
Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Ah, which part (i.e. rim of the cloak, staff head?) Thanks for pointing that out, i had the same thing with the shaman, so it might have been due to that, as i used the shaman's TC as a guidelineEspreon wrote:Oh, Quietus for the Elder some of the magenta is not affected by the TC function...
Re: Minotaur Faction Art
Um its the rim of the cloak and the staff of the head. Also you like my idea for the Giant Eagle?
