Re: Mechanical's art
Mechanical, you never fail to amaze us. This ghost-fear-wolf unit tree looks astounding!Mechanical wrote: ↑February 17th, 2021, 10:57 pm Well, the work continues. I made a sketch of the line of the ghosts of fear. These are the evil spirits of the steppe that look like wolves. Lvl 0 in the game will be transparent, like a ghost. Lvl 1 will become more material and begin to feed on fear. Lvl 2 is a fully material direwolf who has incarnated out of human horror.
Just look at the "bloodlust" on the level 2! Epic!

Re: Mechanical's art
Thank you for your appreciation! I modified the wolves (in particular the paws) and tried to draw another unit of the new faction. This is the skeleton of an ancient nomadic warrior who was summoned by the witches from the mound. I decided to experiment with shadows and used red, purple and green colors. How do you like the result?

Re: Mechanical's art
It is impressive. However, I do find one thing which is odd. His inner foreleg (the one on the spear side...if that clarifies which one) seems a bit...broken?How do you like the result?

Re: Mechanical's art
I continue to draw a line of skeletal riders. I adjusted legs, refined the scale and drew lvl 2. The nomads of antiquity were skilled warriors (like the Scythians in reality) and fought with a spear, an axe and a bow. Lvl 1 and lvl 2 also have a bow attack, despite the fact that because of the pose it is not visible.

Re: Mechanical's art
The level 1 looks a lot better now. The Level 2 looks superb. I am guessing the level 2 receives a secondary melee blade (axe) attack? Or, does the entire unit tree start with 3 attacks?

To the Khaganate Nuckelavee? Both are presumably scouts with a pierce melee attack and a ranged attack aswell. What will differentiate the two units?

Re: Mechanical's art
Hmmm, you do make a valid point. I'd the difference in theory would be that nuckelavee are a specialized 8-move scout, while the skeleton horseman is more of a fast 7mp flanker/meatshield (as the third faction is going to be pretty mobile).The_Quixotic_King wrote: ↑February 20th, 2021, 6:30 pm From a gameplay perspective is this perhaps too similar

Re: Mechanical's art
Hm, perhaps his melee could be a charge attack? This would make the addition of the axe in his lvl 2 more meaningful aswell, and greatly changes the purpose of the unit.ForestDragon wrote: ↑February 20th, 2021, 6:37 pmHmmm, you do make a valid point.

Hmmm, this unit is supposed to be more of a cheap light-cavalry sort than a heavy-cavalry one, so probably notThe_Quixotic_King wrote: ↑February 20th, 2021, 6:41 pm Hm, perhaps his melee could be a charge attack?

Re: Mechanical's art
Drawn lvl 3. Hope it looks good. The line of barrow riders is probably the most difficult thing I've drawn lately.

That leading pose looks amazing. Pillage and Plunder!

Re: Mechanical's art
Thank. Lvl 3 is the ancient tsar, and lvl 2 and 1 are his warriors and retinue, who were buried in the mound with him. Initially, the tsar was in a static position, but then I decided that it was boring and emphasized his leadership qualities.

I have also noticed that he dropped his axe for a longsword...is there some lore behind it?Thank.

Re: Mechanical's art
Well, I assumed that the sword is a more noble weapon than an axe. Since the tsar's sword is chopping, the essence of the weapon does not change.
