Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Orthanc]

Yes naturally one would expect this to look akin to aaglo's humans, and I'd be very glad if they do, since his are rather good, especially for POV Ray.

I think the head here is about just right, got the sword and sheath done, and replaced the regular belt-&-buckle he had with that big wrap-around thing you suggested Partizanac. I made it a white one if you don't mind:

he reminds me russian

 

[cometflash]

Haha, I love the last pic, is so cool.


I wonder what you can't do with animation, you do a great job, whatever people "throw" at you.

 

[Stormrage]

Its great! I really like it

 

[Partizanac]

Its perfect Orthanc! the belt color isn't that important, cause everybody had different one! as I said can't wait for Sunday!

just put the two guns in his belt and the sword too!

 

[HunterAnubis]

Man that second picture should be civilopedia icon.

 

[Stormrage]

The picture is funny, but he is not Russian..

 

[Partizanac]

Yeah he's not Russian! its the beard! if only Orthanc would delete the beard give him a bigger mustaches, he would look for real!

 

[HunterAnubis]

I think he should leave it as it is and make a russian bandit out of it

 

[Stormrage]

Par, I thought you wanted a beard? I guess I was wrong. I wanted him without it too, just didn`t want to spoil your fun. He looks like a chetnik now, LOL.

The greek version was called 'Armatolos' (armed man) or 'kleftes' (thief). The armatoloi were bandits in the era of occupation by the ottoman empire who mostly attacked so as to steal, nomatter the ethnicity of the one they attacked. Later on some of them became soldiers in the greek war for independence in 1821.

Here is an idealised image of a famous one:

 

[HunterAnubis]

Looks like my friend sister with mustash XD

 

[Partizanac]

Yup they where thieves (to the turks) but their goal was independence from them! witch they in almost every country gained! first was Serbia

Storm I too think he looks like a late medieval Chetnik!

 

[Wolfhart]

Yup they where thieves (to the turks) but their goal was independence from them! witch they in almost every country gained! first was Serbia

Nah, I believe Montenegro was first

 

[Partizanac]

Hey! Montenegro never got conquered!

 

[Wolfhart]

Hey! Montenegro never got conquered!

Right you are, my mistake. A brave people indeed!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Can't wait to see previews of this unit in action myself.

 

[Partizanac]

its been two days, Orthanc must be very busy. I wish him good luck, and get some sleep!!!

 

[Orthanc]

Yeah, Orthanc actually went outside. Went to the beach today, saw some real water, it was scary.

Going away for a few days again, but I'll have some time tomorrow, and I'll leave you with this for now:

Default-Fidget

No, he's not saluting, he's got a cup in his hand. It won't be so rapid back and forth between these two in-game, since fidget plays randomly., not constantly.

 

[Stormrage]

Excellente!

 

[Partizanac]

he's excellent!!! I really love him!

one question. why is he raising his cup so high? why don't you just make him take the cup from his pants and drinks it (no raising)
