Thanks AAaah the native spearman once again! Dynamic pose and a *mostly* visible face Carthage is my favorite faction it's so overpowered, I love it get some good sea trade set up and you're unstoppable on land and sea!

yes DA is not Deviant Art so much as Drawaholics Anonymous

ahaha that's awesome, I wish I could do that! xP nah, I just don't sleep much... I'm a bit of a "coffeeholic"

Priestess

Merchantman camels are funny looking animals, ahaha

Gaelic swordsman variations

some fixing up

I always divide layers by color, light, detail and shadow But not by object, usually because I'm a silly sausage

oh don't hate to tell me, I need to get these right after all. that means quite a few overhauls huh xP dang I should start putting the shield on a different layer

Thanks! ooh, I am glad you caught that one in time- did I fix it? no, I didn't. I sent the wrong file again here we go

that would be AWESOME but would we have to create an entirely new typeface just for the Egyptian cultures? and would we change the other cultures too? Sanskrit for the mauryans and a legitimate greek alphabet for the hellenistic cultures? and if we don't know the original alphabet, then we have a problem with inconsistancies between legitimate and phonetic words a cuneiform typeface? lol that'd be cool though

Thanks leper! I'll just get the Epos out of the way too, those are all the cavalry units, excluding the elephant of course lol I forgot to add the file

thanks Yves just checked atlas, aaand that's a nope ah well, I'll fix that later, I thought it was a bit small too in the meantime here's an iberian heavy cavalry sketch

Ta-da his shield arm looks off a bit though and a completely unobstructed face and head! Wooo!

Here's another one, i like this one better. It has a similar layout to the Greek slingers so that should help with identification too. i guess lol

Balearic slinger sketch. I'm probably going to end up redoing it; I don't like how similar the pose is to that of the Skirmisher.

excellent it might need some touching up, the palm was parallel to the javelin so it just needed a rearrangement of the fingers

alright, shield lol whoops, lego armor. hang on there

The romans have the chainmail too? dang I should be taking notes! I was referring more to mobility, the skirmisher unit is hardly a 'stand and fight' kind of class that would need it or, that's how it goes in my head, anyway >.<

Alrighty chainy link armor it is still need to fix the sheild though My roomate reminded me that this was going to be 40x40 when I started going into detail on the chain links so I will suggest the texture instead! also, when I reveal both layers, I get lego armor! huzzah!

gad dangit, aaaagh chainmail on a skirmisher unit? pfff well I learned something today alright then hello eraser! let's get to work! thanks for the feedback xP I'd have done it all kinds of wrong

right, thanks! leaned the shield out a bit, lemme know if it's enough also, i had no clue what the armor was. It looked like chain mail or scale mail but that'd be silly; I assumed woven armor instead.

that does sound fun xP and hey, maybe it'll be quicker without so much revision...

Excellent! thanks! here's the construction sketch I'll be shading and coloring off of, let me know if there are any really obvious anatomical or compositional errors I'm missing
