Mythos_Ruler Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Definitely getting there! Now, perhaps feather the halo out a touch more and reduce its opacity slightly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Right, I think I get it now, the lighter aura will lie closer to the darker areas and the darker aura will sit behind the light edges.almost feels like cheating xPah well; it does look better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pureon Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 That looks cool. The glow doesn't need to be as obvious as it is on some of the tech/structure icons, I'm slowly reducing it's usage as it distracts from the main object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 bloopI really like that one, artistically speaking. The stance of the bowman is very good and the icon is well balanced in term of geometry and use of space.Just as a test, I have lightened it and contrasted a bit more, and I think then this is an example of well-working icon at small scale (here in 128x128) :I've also moved the color tone 5% on the left (in Gimp) which makes it less "green".What do you think LordGood?

LordGood Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I used to take archery classesthat stance will stick in my head for a very long time xPThat does look nice on the unit, but it brightens the aura tooI'll have to fix it in it's .xcf format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) like this?nope, that flattened out the value contrast, eeh, i can fix it Edited April 8, 2013 by LordGood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The one on the left is my favourite. The clothes look better there, more softly shadowed.For me this icon is ready !Let's see what others think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaggy1024 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 The size of these guys' hands bugs me, they seem to usually be a bit big... (not all of them, but the archer's bow hand seems pretty big to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 thingOn this one, you did a good job on the man and his weapons, his hand is perfect... nothing special to say.But on the horse, sorry to say that... but this horse face is ugly, not looking like a horse actually. I suggest you redraw the head entirely.Also, there is a yellow-green tone on this picture, and I think it would look way better without this tone. As a comparison, the tone of the bownman is ok.edited these ones-The balearic slinger face is still in the dark. And as you did with the elephant rider's stick above, here too you could improve the contrast of the weapon's rope on the background so that we enjoy the 3 differents pieces of ropes you drawn. -The woman is well drawn, except the eyes that could "pop" slightly, just a bit more drawn.

LordGood Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I can fix that up in a bit, the head is too big anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 You did a good work on ornaments and colouring on this one, but I must admit I find the rider stance much too awkward.His leg is almost in the front of the horse, which is not accurate, and he looks seated just behind the horse's neck, which too isn't accurate.Out of that, I really like how you drawn the armor, clothes and weapons.Well, if you feel like redrawing, here is some inspiration of how and where the rider stands on the horse : (pic from Alexander) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
