Damn you're good! I'm gonna have you exalt you [on the board's karma system] mightily... and that's something I RARELY do.
+10 Karma for you my friend!
Not trying to tell you what's good or what's bad, but could you try new sketch for the Dwarven Warlord? That one is good, though I'd likely use it for a Champion and not the Warlord himself. I dunno, maybe it'll look right when it's made into the icon.

A lot of your pictures have tilts to them. Probably would say that making the dwarf more vertically straight and stout looking might help.

alright Ill add him to the next batch of concepts. Hmm talking about the next batch, Im short on ideas, Ive done pretty much every ones I wanted to draw, any others in mind? I know you mentioned the elven staffmen, but I think their icon is awesome as it is  , one of the best of life imo, and I also thought the fearie thief lord was great, i was kinda sad when I saw you changed it! |

You could make an awesome one for the Earth Burglar Lord. I too changed the original one in the PIC5s. Looked like a girly apple eating goon. A Wizard icon, High Priestess, Fire Warlord (I changed it in mod also), Grand Magician, Storm King, Elven Thief Lord, Elven Warlord (the current one is good, but I dunno). Try any that you'd want, of course. If they're real good, I see no reason not to add them to an image pack. |

[Oh my God!] I love them! The Lizardmen definitly need a remake, it would be great to see your one in the game but that would require editing the sprite files which I don't think is posible.
I hope you can sort out the elven Riders portrait too, atm they look more like a death unit than life, can I make a request? Could you do a new Elven theif portarit? There are some realy pretty ones already in game but there are afew which just look horrible, I'm sure you know hich ones I mean.
The artwork of LOM is partly what attracts me to this game but saying that theres some real eyesores and what looks like rushed artwork. After looking at your gallery I've no doubt that you can fix that.

After looking at your gallery I've no doubt that you can fix that. thanks, but unfortunately doing one portrait takes me about 30 mins (the storm warlord took me 40 min), I prefer doing the ones that are the most important for now, like the lords and the units. The champions already have about 20-25 pictures already, so doing 1 or 2 would be a waste of time. on another note, here's 5 more ;D:  |

I was under the impression that Burlgars were males.
Beowulf was not a female, and in the Earth Quest takes you on that adventure.

Nice the storm lord and Priestess fit perfectly, I think you need to add more tone though to keep them inline with the current drawing style and would give them more depth in my opinion.
That reminds me I found a portrait that would look so good as an enchantress, you could replace it with one of the horrible looking ones. I'll see if I can find it again. (PS: I hope you werent refering to the Enchantress lord portrait though [Laugh out Loud])

That burglar lord, what the hell, I thought it was an old woman so I designed some younger ones to make it more pleasant for the eyes ;D Oh well... the one with the hood could be either a dude or a female. |

The one female portrait you made for the halfling, I'm going to set up as a new Elven Thief Lord portrait. It works all right for that. The ears aren't long enough for it really, but I suppose she could pass as a half elf, heheh. All portraits will be optional for plugin at each user's own will. BUT, I just tried loading portraits in and some of them don't want to work. So it may take me some time to figure out what the game is not liking about the images. Presently only that halfling female, high priestess, elven cavalry, footmen, the Dwarven Warrior (original, for Champ), Dwarven infantry... Some of them come up as discolored even. I'll try some palette switching with original graphics and see if that'll help some, though it might tweak colors a bit.
[EDIT]
OK, that didn't work.  I don't know what problems it has with the images when I converted them. |

I don't know what problems it has with the images when I converted them. could it be that some of them are like a couple kbs too high? maybe the engine wont support it if it reaches a certain cap. Thats all I can guess really since every pics are made exactly the same way, exepted that a couple of them have more pixels than others. |

I don't think it has anything to do with the number of pixels or the file size.
I believe it has to do with the colors present. I think I may know how to correct the issue. I'll work on it when I'm done testing things for a mod update.

I have successfully got all the images to load properly in the game.
So whenever you get the next batch done, I'll be ready and have a method to get them to read in the game.

Im currently working on a new digital painting and putting 100% of my free time on it, so avatars will be on hold for that time. [By the way], I have a request, do you have the .wav voices of the amazon warriors? Ill be modeling an amazon warrior in the future and Im planning on animating it a bit with her saying something during the animation. |
