Yeah, i was going for a silver mage approach. He isnt as powerful as the warlock so his staff is smaller =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

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...

Also for now the Savage will use a kusarigama until you start doing the Savage's whip frames...

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. Though i do like the Minotaur King sprite :hmm: It would be better due to the biggism issue within the faction. Ill have a play around with both sprites tonight. Ive got music homework and history coursework to do before then, so sprite will have to wait till the later hours :(

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.

Ok forest raider is done :P 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

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)!

thanks :D

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.

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!

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...).

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.

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.

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 gimp

No, I meant the Giant Eagle line (wings and all) be a result of Faelei's curses like the Centaurs.

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 guideline

Um its the rim of the cloak and the staff of the head. Also you like my idea for the Giant Eagle?
