The Balseraph is scary as hell. The sort of guy you only see in your nightmares. I think the thumbnail you made would make an awesome civ-button in game, as well.

Also very nice work on the she-elf, there's some amazing detail on the breast strap. I prefer the purple hair because the black looks too plain, and the bright coloured hair seems to suit Fall from Heaven more.

I also think the Svartalfar unit is better with purple hair. More personality - it's not like the Balseraph have to hoard all the creative flair on Erebus, heh.

Could you do a less saturated purple hair?

That mimic is freaky.

Hey seZereth, anyway you could get the redone ancient forest you have in this thread added? I've just been putting it after each new version but not sure how many people know of it, and it's really awesome.

 

[smjjames]

yea, IMO the purple hair would actually look cooler, and I really don't think the 'easy to spot' thing would be an issue because it already has a distinguishing style.

First I LOVE the mimic. The huge sword skirts the line between menacing and goofy that defines the Balseraph civ perfectly.

The Huntress does look better with the black hair, but agree it would probably be best to keep it purple for distingishment. Would it possible to show us a version with the purple just a little bit more subdued?

 

[Nicopol]

very nice work

First time I saw the thumbnail for the new Mimic art I thought "Now there is someone who is looking forward to the new Batman Movie..."

 

[smjjames]

just noticed the new Svartalfar model and it looks pretty cool.

in fact, the purple hair is not real noticable when zoomed out, so despite some peoples worries, it's fine.

the funny thing is, I only saw a short trailer once for that movie and that was, when I heard the sad news about his death
So, if I really created similarities, it must have been subconsciously (which is not unlikely )
Nice to see someone using a thumbnail as profile pic

Having looked at the Svartalfar Huntress in game, I've got to say I think we're getting spoilt with all these closeups The blue hair doesn't stand out excessively at all at game level, and does help to differentiate her from the Scout unit (as does her panther).

On a related note, would it be possible to do a reskin of the panther unit into a snow leopard for the Illian and Doviello Rangers? It bugs me that the Winterborn civs use tropical panthers.

Hi I know this probably isn't the right thread as such, but i can't see a 'recruiting new members thread' - wondered if you were still recruiting art people...these images of mine were all hand drawn (no c'n'p)...I see you've got very competetant artists already but...don't ask, don't get..soo

Nice texturing! It's unlikly that Kael will let any new members in but there are several fantasymods out there that can use art. And not being in the arteam doesn't mean your art couldn't be used in FFH(we need a lot - and of course you'd get credited). So why not release your work and offer it to the whole community?

 

[timboobaa]

thanks - I just PM'ed you moments before reading this, funnily - need to finish these up before releasing, then need some 'commision' type stuff to keep me going, i think...thanks

 

[seZereth]

good job!

Warhammer Mod could need your help, can you model as well or only texture?!
Because only texturing is of limited use, as I don´t really like any more reskins of vanilla units

 

[Kael]

Very nice work! We are pretty well locked down for members. This is mostly because everyone on the team needed to sign an NDA with firaxis and we talked about a lot of internal stuff in the team forum. Id hate to give someone who hadn't signed an NDA access and let anything slip.

Secondly because we have a good team size as is. If the team gets to large we end up with scattered objectives instead of a common vision.

Lastly, contribute to the community, a lot. Even if we did open up and accept some new members there are a lot of people that have made huge contributions to FfH and aren't members. We keep the biggest in the thanks list for outside contributors. If it weren't for the first 2 reasons people like Sto, Xienwolf, Teg, etc would all be team members by now.

Hey I'm just wondering, what kind of tools do you use to make the models? I would love to make something to contribute but know little about programming

Blender or 3ds max, nifscope or nifviewer, photoshop or gimp with dds plugins

I really like the new water art that was just released, it goes more naturally with the rest of the terrain that FFH has.

IMO the barrel of the new Dwarven cannon should be bigger, unless we are talking about a different kind of ammo than the tradtional cannonballs or the artillery shells. Looks pretty good otherwise.

have you seen it in game?
i think it is a flamethrowing cannon... so, no need for a bigger barrel
