Kajia's Workshop

[Kajia]

i see no ninjas, samurai, respec full plate charger riders, spartans, or rock throwers in your pictures

I don't see you ...

but if you look carefully, without a shovel before your eyes, you will find a ninja and a samurai in the shieldwall picture, also there is no clue that the peasant in the downhill-charge pic is not carrying stones in addition to his fork. I don't see spartans either, but there are some shield-and-spear fighters in the shieldwall aswell.
And for the plated charger, I guess he's broke. But his horse looked ugly anyways.

Now a question: how would you draw 'respecing'?

Oh, and I'm glad you spoke your mind. +1

[Digglez]

boring & trite

[Braeden]

Awesome pictures.  I need to catch you when there's room on the waiting list.

[Wiltzu]

Kajia, i just fucking love these <3  Thank you for this awesome art =)  But if you have time make some with ice and snowy theme =D

[Thomek]

Awesome stuff.. :-)

If I come up with a cool idea I'll give you for sure!

[Nessaj]

Awesome stuff. Where's all the viking helmets though Kajia?! =)

Some ideas:

(click to show/hide)

House on the hill in the middle of the scene, roof full of ranged (about 20 dudes) corpses all around the house (bodies full of arrows, bolts, throwing stuff), one female white ninja sneaking from behind, crouching so archers can't see him, setting roof on fire with a torch

(click to show/hide)

You have something similar in your sketches but this is imho better scene. Lone twohander in stab-ready position aiming a little bit higher than eye level in the middle (we see him from behind). Behind him about 7-8 cavs galloping towards (some lancers, some 2H, some throwers, xbow and HAs)

(click to show/hide)

A row full of Tenne copies (leather jerkin, red cav boots and straw hat) and a cav aproaching them from the side (riding Courser and wearing Mamluke set aka Leed). First has been bumped and is trying to get up while holding his bow and aiming at cav, second two have just been knocked off, lying on the ground in different positions, fourth has been alarmed and already released the arrow towards the cav which hit cav's shield and cav is about to hit his head with lance. Others (3 or 4 of them) are standing still still aiming in the distance unaware of cav threat

(click to show/hide)

Famous 2H dance: one medium-heavy armored 2H (I personally wear Rus scale) fighting four of five opponents, behind sandwiched behind them, hitting last guy (perspective wise) with left swing in the head while the pikeman has bounced of his/her armour and the morningstar guy misssed his overhead, shielder too short as well

(click to show/hide)

Theme: retire. It involves my char. Basically the scene looks like this, two females are in this little house. Old lady with a scar on her left cheek is standing by the fire, looking down at her granddaughter (she's on her knees), who's holding this old sword in her hands, looking at it with admiration. Old lady is wearing Rus Scale armour, Rus Splinted greaves, Scale gauntlets, wearing Khergit Lady Hat and holding Vaegir War Mask under her rigth armpit. While the young girl is wearing Rus Shoes, Ragged outfit, Leather gloves and wearing the same Khergit Lady Hat.

(click to show/hide)

Now this is kinda brutal. It's happening on the battlefield, all the chaos and mayhem around (kinda fading away) while in the middle and focused are two, heavy armored lancer (milanese or gothic plate) riding heavy armored horse trying to couch this viking dude. But he's failed cause the viking guy has jumped in front of him and split his head in two with Great Long Axe. Rage on the viking's face and fear in the horseman eyes can be seen.

Make your pick

Great thanks friend! These are great ideas!

Hmm quality work, you must be lost. This is the CRPG forums, it is a talentless void.

[Miley]

The third picture with the horse archer looks awesome, actually all of them do, but that one's my favorite :D

How do I download?

Very nice, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

You need to make a loading screen with like 7 Ranged Units on the field versus either 1 2h or 1 shielder. Epic lols shall ensue!
