The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Thanks for the replies, I'm still working on these guys...but work eats up most of my weekdays. I've been spending a lot of time looking up interesting images of rocks and various animals, trying to nail down what kind of skull structure a troll should have, and what might work for stone skin etc. A...

Hello! It has been something like years since I have contributed here, but I had the sudden urge to draw some trolls for Wesnoth. Anyway, I tried to give them some race characteristics but they didn't turn out particularly non-human or anything. No detailing, just rough poses and anatomy. Are there ...

Halt! Anatomy police. Sword arm muscles...

A fine start. But I'd like to put out there, since no one else has yet: ANATOMY! http://www.fineart.sk/index.php?cat=12 Yes, I own this book. I've gone through it. Repeatedly. But keep drawing! Its good you've gotten started coloring as well, as this takes lots of practice too. Try to pay more atten...

Technically your cheek bone will point toward the ear canal, which is smack dab in the middle of the ear. Placement and size kind of depend on all the other factors floating around. Personally, I feel like small ears imply a big person, while relatively big ears imply an overall smaller char. Also, ...

Um...

Um...case of missing layers there. Fixed it.

irrevenant: I dunno, I keep trying to do something interesting with portrait hands. I suppose she's picking at her teeth while looking down at you in disdain?

AAAGH! I never came back to this topic because I was never happy with the hair!

Better, or worse?

Yay! Standardization! Just to throw in my 2 cents here, if it's decided to standardize a certain way, I think it would be good to define some things: pencil lineart style? shadows, are they going to be pencil shaded like the lancer, or color only like arne? I'd say color only, just because I think i...

Generally, it isn't a good idea to reference artwork for anatomy.

Google
Images
is
good.

But we do want to reference!

Made some tweaks to the face, and I updated the image on page 1 to avoid dumping extra stuff on the server (Does it actually help if I do it that way?). I'm afraid I may have made her look too pretty though, and less old. I never meant for her to be beautiful, at least by video game standards :P. Ih...

Huzzah! I'm happy to see my portrait so well received. Full pic is no problem...

It *just* fits into the filesize limits.

Update Dec 4, 2006: Cleaned up some things, minor fixes to the face. I didn't want to eat up more room on the server so I just slapped it up here again.

I hate to turn this thread off-topic but I looked up the gradient. It should be under shape options and its called "bi-linear".

This is what I meant when I said I hate to butt in. But I hope you paid attention to the blurb on how I did it, because learning something is the real point of this work after all. I'm pretty sure most everyone here has at best 50% hit rate :P, so don't be discouraged. Concepts are important, so a c...

Whoops! The things we forget sometimes! ;) I fixed her hooked nose, which was looking a little strange, and here's the sketch! In case anyone was curious. With hair all along. Of course. P.S. I can reframe it depending on whether the devs want it to be closer up or anything. I notice that portraits ...
