All of these three are very good.

For obvious reasons, we can't use the "vampire-fangs.png" image for the vampire bats.

But - this same thing makes it especially good for the vampire lady. In fact I daresay it looks very feminine, (more than just the red lips - the shape) which is no mean feat when all you're drawing is basically a chin and mouth.

Hmm, the fist looks kind of podgy. And I'm with Zookeeper on the armour, it looks like a dogs head. However with a few minor changes it would look nice.

Above all though, the vampire fangs are excellent. (The paleness of the skin is a bit overdone, but that's just my preference, it still looks awesome.)

Look at the vampire lady sprite skin colour...

I don't think that it is the paleness of the skin so much as the redness of the lips that looks odd. Do vampires wear lipstick? I would prefer a more colorless (less saturated and/or darker) set of lips with, perhaps, some blood dripping done one side.

Blue-tinged lips, maybe?

I agree. I see why you made it that colour. My little gripe was just that, a personal gripe, forget about it, the icon looks great.

Although a drip of blood running down one side would be cool...

Is your gripe that it looks like a movie Dracula? Maybe also making the skin a tinge bluer would help.

Opinions?

the spear is good, although the metal isn't perfect, however the swords are very... different from the rest of the wesnoth attack icon swords. They are too, blurred, or un specific, detail and sharper edges would help alot with them.

They don't look at all sharp, they look kinda blury. Other than that they arn't bad save they do look a tad generic.

Blurry, dull, and generic. Not too bad. Just fix up these things and they'll be good.

Post by **turin** » July 6th, 2006, 10:59 pm

Generic is OK. Blurry is not so good.

This better?

Yes...perhaps you should light up the hilt a bit, you have a lot of black there.

For the gladius: I'd think it could be a bit larger, and it could use some differentiation between pommel, hilt and, well, not the crossguard, since it doesn't have one, but whatever the part between hilt and blade is called - just guard? Maybe have the pommel and guard bronzed, and/or the hilt wrapped with colored cloth.

The Sidhe blade I'd imagine to be quite slender, something a bit like a saber, since their warriors get all those strikes out of them, so the weapon would have to be light. Single-edged might be the way to go, can look more dynamic IMO.

The pilum is fine basically, although it seems a bt dark. But then, weren't they made of some soft iron, so they'd bend and couldn't be returned to sender? The look is right for that, I'd say...

The scimitar (ideal for those drakes)
+ a gaze icon (just the old one updated... forgot the original author just browse this thread to find it)
