Peregrinus's Orbivm Art Thread

[Peregrinus]

I am currently working on Orbivm (Imperial Era et. al.), and am posting new sprites here for constructive criticism et cetera.

That said, I present some images:

1: New possible arendian swordsman
2: New possible arendian wanderer

[Blueblaze]

1. Faces are too big
2. Draw some real hands instead of cutting them off (2nd sprite) or drawing blurry blobs (1st sprite)
3. Add some shading

[Peregrinus]

new wanderer, with changes.

The metal on the sword is a bit too dark, and the hilt is bent.

Also, the head is rather... square. I assume he's wearing a hood, so that could be clearer. And the head could use some more shading.

Overall it's a major improvement over the first try, though.

The sword could do with some anti-aliasing - it looks a bit pixelated. I'm not quite sure what's wrong here, but it doesn't seem to fit the Wesnoth style.

Looking good, keep it up!

[Peregrinus]

thanks for the input.

new wanderer.

[rod]

Looks loads better, although it still doesn't fit the Wesnoth style, nor does the Swordsman, posted further up the page;

1) It needs a heavy outline.
2) I think you've used too many shades, making it look too blurry.
3) (This is most important) Try and get a contrast between the light and dark shades, particularly on the face.

I also think that perhaps the head is still a bit square on the Wanderer. You need to fix up the hands on the Swordsman.

Other than that, brilliant!

[Peregrinus]

Thanks again. I have added a lot of contrast, and don't know if it's too much. I also worked on the face/head a bit.

Thanks again. I have added a lot of contrast, and don't know if it's too much. I also worked on the face/head a bit.

Wow that's amazing!

I agree, though, you added a bit too much contrast - not enough colour. It's almost as though it's been snowing.

Despite this comment, I can picture it on the game, well done.

[Peregrinus]

better?

[Peregrinus]

The following unit is a L3 "Keltoi Peregrinus", a celtic-esque wanderer unit. Suggestions on the stance, proportions, etc. please. (the unit is obviously far from finished, and I want a good base to work from, not an awkward one)

p.s. yes, i know the unit has my name in it, that's where i got my account name.

[Peregrinus]

I continued working, and this is my result. Comments please.

[Blueblaze]

What's the pink thing? He could also use some fingers.

[Peregrinus]

Pink thing's a kilt. fingers coming up.

[Peregrinus]

Update.
