Re: My images ;)
Beautiful sprites!
I'm just not sure about the size of the weapons. Actually, I'm not sure about using a scythe with a shield at all.
Scythes were used in battle since presumably some farmer had an agricultural accident and thought, hey, maybe I should keep this bad boy on hand when the raiders come.
Old German manuscripts on fighting, including those by Mair (or Meyer, one of the "mayor" sounding meisters) show techniques for dueling with scythes and also how to use scythes against people wielding other weapons. Although messy looking they seem to have been ...brutally effective. Examples of people who used scythes: Dacians (they fought against the Romans and had their asses kicked, you can see them on Trajan's collum I think) Jappanese. Actually, the Japanese upgraded the scythe by combining it with a flail (sorry, I don't know what that weapon was called)
So please understand that when I say I think they might be a little impractical, I'm not talking about fighting with scythes (regardless of whether or not I'd use taht weapon myself), only about fighting one-handed (shield in the other hand) with a scythe who's blade is longer than the man wielding it.

Re: My images ;)
All the sprites I see in this post are very good.
To your last post: the second unit's head seems a bit strange, I can hardly tell what it is. Maybe it would help painting the head one pixel lower and one pixel to the left.
Keep up that good work.

Kudos maksiu, I think your sprites look very crisp and original.

Re: My images ;)
@Elvish_KIng maybe it's a problem with legs. One of them is bended(?) and the second is straight, making it strange pose.

His helmet doesn't suit his head. And you put it over it - not on it.Elvish_King wrote: the second unit's head seems a bit strange, I can hardly tell what it is.
