No, what you did is great. He might decide to put it in a frame since the Heir to the Throne campaign images are (if memory serves).

Excellent! Both of them are great, although I do slightly prefer the unblurred image... 
Really really beautiful, and I think tbe blurred image looks better. It looks less like it was made with a computer and more like it was drawn by hand. To me the light patches on the orc's skin really stand out in the non-blurred version. I'm sure Shade would love for you to do more story images.

I like them both, though I think I have a mild preference for the blurred one. To my eye, it looks a little more 3D, and a little less cartoony, somehow.
One side comment: I don't know what the green creature is, but in this thread, there is a comment from Jetryl that you might want to take into consideration:

On the other hand, if it came down to a choice between having green orcs or having this picture, I'd happily give Jetryl the raspberry!Jetryl wrote:No green orcs. Green orcs bad.
Save the green for the saurians.

If you could get the first one's sharp lines into the blurred version, it would be perfect.

A couple of posts, on different topics.
First, there's a technique this picture would really benefit from: Colored Line Art
The lines that separate the different cell-shaded sections of this picture don't all have to be jet black, in fact if some of them are quite a distance from it, they can quite improve the picture.
I've attached an example where I (crudely) applied this technique to the ... ogres, I assume.
There is a tutorial which describes how to do this here:

Congratulations - it's a very nice picture, and something that we really need.grp21 wrote:i start drawing story scene, between map, for TROW here is the first one : the last fight of haldric's father.
I wish we had more contributors like you.
I decided that all Heir to the Throne story scenes, and all official maps, must be on that parchment. I'd encourage people to try and make other stuff that would fit on it, but if you can come up with something that looks good, and is consistent (within a campaign) - who cares?grp21 wrote:there is also this topic that i didn't well understand : http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5385

Also, a wooden frame is a separate consideration from the parchment texture the maps will be matte'd onto. A wooden frame could be added to maps for certain campaigns to fit with the story scenes of that campaign.
Making something that is matte'd onto a parchment texture is a stylistic consideration, and we can figure out whether these would look better that way after you make them. You just keep making good pictures.
For example - this is a possible thing you could do with source art like that.
I don't know if it's "better" (and in this case, I think a frame actually might look good), but it's something to think about.
Right now, it doesn't matter what we decide use as the "end product" for art like this - the important thing is that we get the art in the first place. We need to put the horse before the cart, as they say. To that end, THANK YOU grp21 - Keep up the good work.
