I'm writing this just to see if anyone would like to draw more portrait icons for the heroes. In the following section I explain the composition and guidelines to be followed. consists of basic knowledge of painting, photography and video game industry. ------ Rossi starts with an existing 3d model in order to add features. then defines the facial features of the subject, as well as his age and facial characteristics based on the history and archetype of the face, this means that it segments the muscles of the face to define the facial features. uses different layers of black and white shadows very different from how I do it but based on the principle of light and shadow composition, think in black and white before venturing into color. the shadows are taken from the tridemensional object typical of the first techniques of painting with realistic illumination elaborated in the Spanish baroque and post renaissance. the theory of light-dark. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penumbra This is defined by the origin of the light or the light source. the guide for composition is Standard I give to Rossi. was pure commercial. so basically we talk about make and standar Illustration technique. composition is 3/4 or 45 grades from object perpective. is a technique of portrait photography. you can see this in google for more examples. the the frame is called a bust shot. there are two version of this technique. but Im refering the angle was this way as I learn this composition. is desirable use Hero actual clothes or helmet. but not necesary. Why baroque? was characterized by realism, richness and intensity of colors, as well as a strong contrast between lights and shadows. So this mixture of feature are ideal to make portraits(relistic) . is less realistic than Medieval ones. and is less cartoony than ctual digital art. we can said is kind of mixture techniques. and more natural than other digital one. isnt dificult if you are familiar with technique to paint in photoshop - like program , kripta or even gimp.

Gimp is garbage, if you can learn a better program I would recommend you do so. Krita is decent and I've heard good things of firealpaca if you want free.

What happens is the building almost always snap rotates 180 degrees.

Loordgood recently improves that. Victor Rossi have a little trick with 3D portrait. When I have some time I will do a new technique using some of that.

Hi, As i'm nearly finishing the map of the Acropolis of Athens, i would like to receive any feedback or suggestions regarding historical facts. So please if you are willing to help me, pointing me where i did a mistake by including or not, an historical building, let me know. The depicting period is the classical. Some references: Starting with the @wowgetoffyourcellphone suggestion, but waiting to know which building i have to remove, as it confused me. lol Of course, the official presentation of the map will have its proper introduction with some historical background, i will do my best at it. Here it goes

too big took too long holy crap never again

If we have higher resolutions images maybe. Only @LordGood and @Victor Rossi can match the current quality from scratch...

Bad example. Not all do, though: What matters is these portraits look good. (I'd also prefer Spartan red for Leonidas.) Could you also improve Brennus, Viridomarus, and Demetrius to 256×256?

If it's actor-based (e.g. Caratacos) then it should use magenta, if it's a specially drawn portrait (e.g. Boudicca) it shouldn't. Any other faux Greek concept art?

no. Bonus that your civs features. example. AoE 2. or https://steamcommunity.com/app/221380/discussions/0/828939163660903019/

The end result is amazing though So it certainly paid off.
