Frankensprites by Sylar, continued. The one problem is that e.g. previous Lorin had limited animations... I would need carefully comment out those from unit configuration files.

I had not checked whether team coloring works with Akladian lords.

It might be helpful if you said exactly why you don't like ruvio's sprite, because then szopen would know what could be improved to make the sprite better. :wink:

For me, Ruvio's face is a bit unreadable because of his beard and hair. Perhaps combing them back just a little from his face so that we can clearly make out both his eyes would solve that problem.

Ruvio's sword tip is missing.
healer1 and healer2 are to similar.
Rest is great.
Maybe the kneeling leader needs the hair dress of the standing leader.

When SYlar will come back from the vacation, I will beg him to correct the sprites. Thanks for the comments !

Hi, I'm updating ANO and am wondering if a higher resolution version of this portrait exists? I want to modify it for use as a story image; when I put it as a background image as-is, you can tell it's been enlarged. Is there a way to contact Łukasz Zaręba to find out?

I lost all of original art during one of the many crashes. It might survive in one of my dead laptops, but I wouldn't count much on that. I am not sure whether Łukasz still has the art, I will try to reach to him (when I will find his email). In the meantime, I've tried using BasicSR, unfortunately, it seems it can't handle alpha channel - and the results does not seem to be really that good. I see that in their model database they have also filters for drawings, but I have never tried them and I am not sure whether it's worth to try it.

Ok, I tried the filters for digital art.

Here are the results:
BasicSR with deviant pixels

BasicSR with fatal anime and deblur

Let me know what you think.

Wow, there's a lot of material here to choose from! I'm thinking of creating a separate "ANO media" repo for media files that don't necessarily get shipped with the final add-on; do you think think that would be a good idea?
