  • @tannenbernie I thought the pose of Reiksguard looks a bit odd and his sword is the length of his entire body. But don't worry about art details too much.

    @tannenbernie The common solution here in TripleA is not giving a damn about it, which is probably what you'll have to do if you'll have wildly differently sized creatures (How many pixels for a Goblin if an Ogre is 72?), yet I wouldn't discourage you from keeping all non-giant on-foot humanoids realistically scaled. It's not a crime to leave a lot of pixels non-used... In the particular case raised by @RogerCooper, you could keep dimensional consistency between Spearman and Reiksguard by making the Spearman smaller, leaving a lot of transparent pixels (contrary to the suggestion of @RogerCooper of making the Reiksguard bigger instead).

    Besides, I don't know if you have pikemen or anyway warriors having very long weapons which would be very challenging to fit too.

    By the way, you are leaving the images background transparent right? I assumed that the grey background was just for showing here.

    My main suggestion is not getting bogged down too much by perfectionism: try to finish all images and have it done, then you can go back anytime tweaking whatever.

    Yes dont bother with trying to have correct size images.
    A Giant and a Goblin will appear about the same size, but the iconography should be good enough to distinguish the two, although the the Giant should obviously be bigger.

    If you dont like the above, then truncate the lower half of the horse and the Giants lower torso to give a bit more realism in the image sizes.

    @rogercooper said in Battle for Craglorn - Alpha/Early Testing Thread:

    @tannenbernie The Reiksguard seems to be on the short side. You might want to change his pose and make him the same height as the spearman.

    Ya that seems to be a general problem. If you look at these three, then i would say the Reiksguard and the Lancer are of equal size while the spearman is much bigger. Reason is that all three have only 72px of room. The Lancer shares the room with his horse, the Reiksguard raises his sword which steals much of the room. Only the Spearman fits well into the 72px square so he is biggest.

    Actually i have no idea yet how to solve that. A Rider on horse is of course bigger than a foot soldier, but both can only have the same 72px square. So the Rider himself will always be smaller. Also depending on pose and weapons the foot soldiers will look different size when all brought to same 72px.

    Is there a common solution to that problem, any hints?

    Thx and cheers
