Unit sprites for Invasion from the Unknown/After the Storm

[Espreon]

As per Aethaeryn's and ESR's requests, I'm making the alien line more consistent within itself. The mindraider was a recoloring of Neorice's artwork that didn't fit with the L1 Crawler, thus I decided to do something about it.

This is work in progress.

Its breathtakingly beautiful. I really like the glowing.

Oh and BTW do you plan to make Lv2s and Lv3s for the Psy Crawlers?

Psy Mindraider is level 3. About level 2... Aethaeryn, ESR and I can work it out.

As per external request on extending the Shaxthal faction, I'm creating new units for it, and this is the first one. Please note that it is Work In Progress still.

Also, a rather definitive version of the Psy Mindraider.

OK, the larva is nice but does not resemble much like a half-living/half-machine but is the concept that the metallic stuff does not develop til the Level 1 stage?

Yes.

On other news, I have updated other artwork for this campaign...

[Iris]

It's interesting to see how these guys have evolved since my first attempt at them...

[Espreon]

The updated Warlord and Lore sprites are magnificent! (In fact I will commit them to my copy of IFtU right now!)

I am just dying to see what the level 2 Psycrawler line unit will look like.

In addition do you plan to make a level 1 unit for the Wyrm?

I was not quite happy with Elynia's hairdo, nor with her animation frames, so I'm trying to establish a definitive baseframe so I can start animating her.

P.S.: Yeah, the screenshot below... I decided to reintegrate the Shaxthal Rayblade to the plot to increase difficulty level, thus quickly fixed the baseframe in about 15 minutes.

That's great news! I really like his new sprite.

Shadow Master, you've really evolved as an artist. Unfortunately, one side effect of that is that your original "Shadow Master" sprite looks poor in comparison to the others. For starters he's facing due south rather than South-East.

Yeah, that's why I completely replaced him. In that chart, the left-most sprites are earlier versions of the right-most ones.

Oh cool, I thought those were the L0s. I stand corrected...

Just in time for a release, updated the Runner Drone's baseframe (what is seen in the screenshot above was a work-in-progress). I also have updated the Warrior Spirit's baseframe, although it's not really complete yet (I want to add some more effects and animate it to mimic Jetryl's ghost standing animation).

>.< Her hands! That's why I didn't like her after all!

I hardly see a difference... But may I ask what's the reason the Shaxthal's metallic armor/skin turns to a bronze color on the surface? Is the armor/skin being tarnished or something?
