cheapshot? who?

*stomps the dirt hard with his feet and smiles at Kajia, then looks to the hole in the ground on the left* (The money is mine! :O)

[Izual]

Very nice paintings Kajia! Can I know if you paint on the computer, and if so, using which software? (I used to use MyPaint.)

the one I showed a sketch before:

"fog"
I don't know how to improve this. I'd like it as the 2nd loadingscreen, but I don't know if it's enough action.

I like this one very much, because it is both beautiful and a common scene in cRPG. You want to add more action? Maybe you could paint some more men on the wall that is on the right side of the picture, and/or men fighting on a terrace of the tower we see behind the tincan.
Once again, amazing work!

An archer is missing in this scenario ! The ladder on the far right looks like a good position for a defending archer who is aiming at the attacking 2 hander.

You can also include a siege ladder on the left, a crusher trying to jump inside just behind the shielder guy. 

Or you can rotate the camera a little bit upwards, so that you can draw a siege tower approaching from left. I never came across a siege tower in your drawings actually. You can convert this drawing to include that too. Maybe a tower on the right side, with its doors already opened and peopled jumping onto the wall, some defenders trying to hold the wall. Both archers on the siege tower and defending archers doing their job ... I don't know, its a pretty familiar scene in siege battles ...

[Cheap_Shot]

Yes, we will do it like that. I just wonder where cheap shot disappeared.. Anyone seen him?

I've been in the middle of a city move/ job search.

[Kajia]

How is the progress?

yeah ... feels like I'm getting slower, sorry about that.

a little update:

(click to show/hide)

archers and more stuff gets added, but I worried about the general mood and tension first.
It's snow now, instead of fog - but I like it.

I have decided on this one ^ for the 2nd loadingscreen and the "downhill charge" as main menu.

Also I did some smaller corrections/improvements with the shieldwall pic, let's see if you can find them all - but there are very few.

I set my deadline to end of this week - sunday evening, so it's hopefully done before the the new patch ... IF the majority votes for my pictures

I'd possibly vote for the flying pig-pic, awesome idea. But, seriously, I guess I won't vote at all, because I like Cheap-Shots and Niemands works the same.

New version to download for desktop image?

[Kajia]

dude, that'll have to wait after I finished that other stuff, sorry man
but try to understand

[Konrax]

Looks awesome so far.

My only gripe is the xbowman reloading makes the image a little confusing initially, try maybe changing the colours on him a bit to differentiate him from the character behind.

Otherwise fantastic job.

No problem. Take all the time you need. Just do it SOMETIME and I'm happy. Patience is a virtue. I just wanted to remind ya

ok, thanks for the hint.

[Bulzur]

OMG, two weeks away from this topic, and such drastic change !
I...i shouldn't do this... Bjarky will kill me... but... here...

I'm adding 50 000 gold for the pot (winner or winner+2nd prize or whatever else Thomek feels like )

I prefer Kajia work, for the beautiful realism, and high details. Awesome work.
Of course, Cheapshot's work were always good, but more... comic-like ?

Anyway, really glad to see people with such skills, gladly giving some of their free time.
