LordGood Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) well dang, thats an old one! hahaBut an interesting read. Thanks for digging that up for us Edited August 7, 2013 by LordGood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Celtic Iaosae just because! My brain might just have switched gears from the carthaginians to the celts for a bit. I'll do the Sacred band of Astarte eventuallyI actually did this one more painterly on one layer, I find it easier to manipulate. Let me know what you think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Very nice.Maybe you could ring more action in it by bringing the head closer to the camera, and the body further away (which happens when you sling real hard).His face also looks a bit sad instead of aggressive to me, but I don't think that will matter on icon size.

LordGood Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks sander!It might be difficult to pull his head in at this point, not to mention the compositional fallout. Actually that might do wonders for the compositionI'm wondering weather or not I need rim lights. It's a light subject, to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do the Sacred band of Astarte eventuallyI actually did this one more painterly on one layer, I find it easier to manipulate. Let me know what you thinkTo have some critique:The energy that the slinger needs to throw the sling is not visible enough in my opinioon. Also the pose does not seem to represent it. I imagine a pose with arms more stretched to the background, using the power to rotate the sling. Also having a slightly bowed and rotated back.The Sling needs to stick out more, if seen at a not so good display and a low resolution it's not that visible. Maybe getting some highlights, or motion-blur in (i prefer some lighter colors for the sling)I am not sure about the anatomy of the hand, it feels wrong, but i guess as a small portrait it doesn't matter too much.The second portrait, of the spear thrower looks well done! No urgent critique there I hope it helps for the creative process, the remarks are meant to be encouraging, I like your progress!

nylki Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 to illustrate my ideas some quick sketch (was refreshing to use my good ol' wacom after months). I dunno if it transports my idea properly or if it is of any use for you. Your portrait still is good, don't get me wrong, I just don't feel enough dynamic for this kind of unit.

LordGood Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks a bunch! I love the feedback, I'll see what I can do.hehe im not too familiar with how slingers operate, or figures in motion tbhSkirmisher's hand was a bit off, did my best to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The Sling needs to stick out more, if seen at a not so good display and a low resolution it's not that visible.I agree. It would be useful to also see these icons at the dimensions they'll appear in-game (40x40).I really like them btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) lol thankswiddle bitty pictures yeah, the sling gets completely lost in the BGRope sling would probably show better Edited September 20, 2013 by LordGood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yves Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 LordGood, could you make a video of painting such a unit portrait?That would be awesome to post as a fundraiser update! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 That sounds like a ton of fun. I don't think I have much time though, I usually just punch out a few details between classes.I'm downloading camstudio, maybe after I get the brit barracks built I can scribble up something this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
