[WIP] Project Civ: A Quality-Oriented Civ Pack

[Irkalla]

Am I allowed to say that I'm not thrilled by any of the guys?

Well, I'm not going to invent stuff just to make them cooler Their poses suck, yes, but pose is of minor concern. I just have a hard time choosing which set of armor and armament I should draw.

 

[Irkalla]

I actually really love this pose. Hard to do, so I'll understand if you give me a no go on this.

As far as panoply is concerned, I like this guy.

As a side note, this here officer gets my vote for most epicly dressed.

Great pose, but I'd like to flip this guy horizontally, I prefer the subject in the icon to be facing towards the center of the screen. Maybe I won't do a carbon copy of this pose, but I'll be definitely aiming for something like that.

I bet Leugi based Leonidas on his dress. I'm basing the icon on his leaderscreen, but I'll give it a bit more oomph.

Nah, he and I pretty much talked it over and he did what I was thinking without error. I don't THINK he had just one base.

Also flip the guy yeah. Action shots suck when they're facing a bottle of pills on your desk and stuff.

 

[janboruta]

I hope it's good enough.

 

[sukritact]

I love it; why are you even asking that question?

It was late at night and I felt something was wrong with him. It's late today as well, but I'm posting new art in case I don't finish the icon for Epibatai tomorrow. I wanted to post a batch of three icons at once - I'm leaving next week for, duh, a week for a school project.

The hoplite looks like he's trying to do the chicken dance, but Pericles is well done.

 

[Leugi]

Pericles is amazing!

 

[Irkalla]

They're all good, Jan. Bravo!

 

[janboruta]

Thank you all! Starting my work on Epibatai now.

The hoplite looks like he's trying to do the chicken dance, but Pericles is well done.

Yeah, kinda. I flipped the guy Irkalla posted earlier, but he didn't fit well in the circle, so I had to make some modifications. And the cloak obscures the hoplite's neck and makes him look a bit stubby - but on the other hand, these flaws aren't as prominent when zoomed out, so it would work in the game, I think.

 

[janboruta]

Aaand here it is.

 

[sukritact]

I am currently filled with envy. I order you to teach me how to draw people like you do! (please?)

On a more serious note the spear is too short (unless it's supposed to be like that).

 

[Leugi]

The worst part of all this is that Janboruta is even improving with time, that's too much

 

[InsanelyApple]

On a more serious note the spear is too short (unless it's supposed to be like that).

I don't think the spear could be much longer without it getting too far out of the icon.

You're getting a lot better too! You're most recent leaderscenes have been

to me!

 

[janboruta]

On a more serious note the spear is too short (unless it's supposed to be like that).

It's foreshortened so it doesn't obscure the shield, fits in the circle and creates an illusion of depth. The shaft should be longer behind the soldier's hand, but it would be dangerously close to the edge of the screen when the unit would be selected.

^ This.


Thank you for your comments! I'm starting the Macedonian Phalanx right now, but we'll see if I manage to finish it today.

 

[Pouakai]

I reckon you'd be better to have it go over the shield and out of the icon a bit, given how long they were

I'll respond with this:

You guys are gonna eat me for not making a sarissa in proper scale.

 

[Putmalk]

Why not, instead of having the spear (which does look tiny) come out of the icon, make the spear cutoff by the circle? (like the Hoplite)
