Here's an update on the castle. Slightly changed the perspective to fit the character better. More work on the texture and details. Still looking for your impressions, C&C.



Thanks!

Even with a static hand in place for the item, there must be a way to stretch and squeeze the arm in a more realistic way. Also it probably wouldn't be much trouble to add a bit of movement to the box in the game to increase the effect.

The harsh angles of the HUD doesn't serve the "Fantasy RPG" style. It makes it look futuristic. No use to put so much empty space under the HUD. It can be right on the side of the "screen". If you want to make it look more Zelda like, put the HUD at the top of the screen with vertical HP bar.

Hi all,

I'm working on a Pikeman from medieval china. I'm kind of happy with how it's turning out but hopefully you guys here can point the weak points of the piece.

Here's the standing frame, I haven't done any animation yet. It's 18 colors including transparency. There's a 3 colors gradient used for some details. I plan on changing the hue of this gradient to easily differentiate enemies from allies. Here's an example in different "faction" colors.



QUIZ!! : What do you think is on his belly?


And here's the evolution of the piece on different background colors and in gray tones.





Let me know what you think and how it can be improved upon. Hopefully one day I'll get good enough at this that I'll be able to contribute to the forums here too. Thanks for your time!


[Edit:] Figured I might as well make all the clothes of the "allegiance color".
