The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Recently I began playing D&D 4E online with some friends, using the program Map Tool . It can do some neat things. From there I also ran across a forum called The Cartographer's Guild , which has some pretty impressive stuff! I nicked their idea of using lightning bolts as the base for rivers. H...

The trunks are a little too large to be considered bushes; they look more like tiny trees.

Bird heads are rather ordinary, which is probably why the most impressive gryphons have either the devilish ears or a large crest in the back.

It does help a bit. The right iris could be shifted more to the center to match it, since it has no highlight.

Adding more whites to both might increase his crazed appearance. (Or it might just make him look goofy. It depends really.)

What is he looking at?

What immediately strikes me about the newer version is that his gaze has become unfocused - before, he was looking directly at the viewer/enemy, and that eye contact has a more impressive effect. When someone looks away, they are diminished. You might be able to make his earlier gaze even more inten...

Yah, the second one looks best. He reminds me of that SotBE guy.

I'd suggest also that the bight coloured metal isn't quite right. Possibly painting it would be good, a dirty green or brown. I'm a great fan of the colour scheme from Woo's orc portraits, and I think Kitty wants to maintain it to some extent. IIRC Wesnoth orcs "put great stock in martial skil...

I like the pose you gave the longbowman most. Very nice.

The bowman's layout is also neat, sword/bow lines up with head and quiver with arrow.

I saved several of his paintings long ago. The best one was the pirate captain.

I like the metal bands and the seaweed, especially the rips in the end trailing off the staff.

Okay, picture that instead of having a flat top-down grassy texture for Plains and such, it was given the same style as the Mountains - a photorealistic view of the landscape, at an angle you might see from an aircraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird%27s-eye_view http://i40.tinypic.com/23wk7zp.jp...

Could this be solves by approaching the issue from a multi-hex standpoint, as per the mountains? I'm not exactly sure what that would entail, but I think something like that would take far too much effort. I am wondering if it's possible though. Also, shouldn't transitions in corners be 3-tile sens...

Is there anything you can add to fill in that gap between the head and the shoulder, so the head feels more connected to the body? The figure has lost some of his stoutness. have you considered using a gorget ? it'd help close some of that neck space and give a feeling of (slightly) greater bulk (a...
