And there it is so far.

The halberd is a real trouble spot :blind:

Fixed the halberd I hope. Some minor tweaks. I am pretty satisfied with it so far.

Here's how it looks in game ( jpg'd for size ):

Just nitpicking I liked the old halberd better.

Put your glasses back on Souly :lol:

( just kidding ), but I must disagree, I like the detail on the new one.

Oh... It's pointing backwards isn't it. Dx
I thought it was pointing towards us, but now I see on yours... Yea.

In my edit I did a thing with the heel, and the plates of the legs, as well as a bit on the shoulders.

Didn't notice the other edits sorry.

Should look like the blade end is pointing toward you. I guess looking at it now I can see how it could be confusing.

Here's an update.



Starting another one now. Female magic user.

Please refrain from double (quintupple) posting like you did up there. Cheers.

Hey EvilEye, good work so far. Is that you in the first pic of the guy? If so, good god man you have an intense chin.

On the female magic user's portrait, I think you made her right eye too far down. Looks a little like that half of her face is melting. I redid the eye, and leveled the eyebrows. Also I played with the lips and darkened the ear by one shade. Take or leave any of it:



I put a red line through the pupils of both eyes, so you can see it may not be lined up right.

:lol: No that isn't me. I'm way better looking.

Ya I was noticing that myself.

I think this should fix it. Looks even to me. Also remember the camera angle of the original picture.



Better? Perfect? :crazy:

*EDIT* Update:



Wow, taken me so long I lost track of the hours.

Imagine Helm trying to tell me I should be able to do this in less than 3 hours :lol:. What a kidder!

Say... did you swipe that first reference from gay porn?  What a hunk! ;D

Anyway, the dragon and its portrait are awesome. So much so that frankly, the goblins next to him look generic and the hero character looks out of place.

I think it s because the posture of the hero is too extreme compared to the others, and the silhouette reads like a comic book cover.

I would at least redraw the cape of the hero character, if not the entire character. I'm sorry, but he's just not up to par with the rest, in my eyes.
