Faction: Kedari (Arabian Nights-based)

Garm: What the hell, seriously; that looks more like an oepaki.

And turin; you might want to rename it "dromedary" if you keep it to 1 hump.

Why? Dromedaries are a type of camel. I looked it up on Wikipedia just to be sure, and I was right. So, it is both a dromedary AND a camel.

Anyway, here's an improved (I think) version.. I might put a rider on it soon.

I don't like how the camel rider turned out. I couldn't find a position on the camel's back for the rider that looked natural. Still, it's better than nothing, and I might be able to improve it to a usable version.

ehm... ehm... AFAIK they use baktrians(these with two humps) to ride.

I searched for images of camel riders on google to base the unit off of, and they all used dromedaries... does anyone know for sure?

I don't want to have to remake the base.

I prefer a three humped camel myself.

i wrote "camel" on images.google.com and i found few images with bactrian riders, for example this

Well, I edited the camel rider so you can't really tell if he's riding a bactrian or dromedary... although on the camel layer, it looks like a mix between the two.

Anyway, I think I'm relatively satisfied with how the camel rider looks, although it could be improved. I think I'm going to finally tackle the Ifrit problem.

If Sir Laurence's camel has one hump, you should use the one humped one

Nizari and Camel Rider images!

I like the Nizari. Black garb with red cape looks great.

Camel Rider is a good start. And I do think the one-hump would fit our faction better.

That's the kind way of putting it. :\ I really don't know what to do with the camel rider... it is good enough for now, but not really good enough to be permanent...

One thought: given that the camel is itself yellow, would the Camel Rider look better with white robes?

And how would it look with a saddle draped over the hump?
