New Gweddry

Post by **wayfarer** » October 28th, 2005, 5:22 pm

Turin allowed me to make a swing on a custom Gweddry sprite and here is the first try on the marshal so be gentle it took me hours to get him right.(He should actual get a beard but he locked to old with him, and it covered too much parts of the armor)

I like it a lot, but I can't see his face

Um - I can see his feet, sword and head (I think), the rest is indistinguishable.

I really admire the detail you try to include wayfarer but I am always left trying to figure out exactly what part of the sprite is what :S Maybe it is my monitor...

An old desease of mine.

But actual now I know what you mean I have seen some of my images on a LCD they get guite blurry

My made the edges a little sharper I don't really know if it's any better.

I think that looks a whole lot better too. Still I think the hair in front of his face could maybe go. I can tell what it is now though

On the whole, very good. The position of the shield bugs me though - it looks to like it should be lowered a bit.

Wayfarer, I've always found your units to be interesting and good. However, most of the time I just can't figure out what most parts of them are because you put too many details into them imo. They end up slightly pixelated and very "noisy".

i second that, a bit less detail would make things clearer

Yes thats part of my style I can't change it but I can repair and fix some parts.

i would have to say i am a fan. But yeah LCD monitor doesnt do it justice. I like how detailed it looks and yeah it does take a bit of looking at to work it out but i generally work it out after about a minute of glaring at it.

But the point it i love how detailed it looks.

It's good. It looks like a second or third level unit to me, I don't really care which. Just keep making stuff like this, and I'll get the custom gweddry in-game...

I'd like to third that. Though the latest verion you posted is clearer. Looks very cool in fact.

(aside: what campaign is this guy from? yeah, I'm a newbie)

Eastern Invasion. I want to give Gweddry character-specific unit graphics.
