Ragoon's Graphics For HoMM3SW

Crimson tower v2:

ON TERRAINS:

Very nice job! Perhaps we can even make it 2-squared later somehow (with the addition of some structure nearby, for example), and fill the niche perfectly.

It also might need darker pixels on the edges of the roof so that they won't be lost on bright terrains.

Hello, I've been dealing with some problems recently (my hdd died, so I couldn't work on the mod at all past 2 weeks), but I'm back in business, did some portraits yesterday:
https://heroes2.forumactif.com/t468p25-h3sw-character-portraits#6316


As well as some animations for black Anubite. Note that I tweaked his static form a little bit:
 Old - New






And now my plans for the future:

• Remaining Anubite anims: getting hit, death, attack straight
  
• All of the anims for Harpy from scratch
  
• Walking anim for Toad
  
• Fixing the rest of the portraits
  
• Edit main menu art, so it can be used on web pages of the mod
  

PS Updated animations thread

Looking very nice as always. For the attack I initially intended the movement similar to H3 Devil since he has a scythe too. If you need the sprites, tell me via FB or here on the forum.

Looks great as always I am looking forward to more.

Whoa!
It's been a while since the last activity in this thread. I wasn't lazy though, was posting my work for the mod in Graphics discussion thread here!
First, main menu for the mod and moddb site, then in game backgrounds for when you're choosing a map! A lot of work, cause it's very high-res high-quality images, but it's going somewhere

Since I wanted to take a short break from them, I decided to finish some anims I started to make in december and I must say, I'm really found of the final effect. Only death remaining and if I'll go well, it'll be just as awesome as those, promise And after that, harpy!





PS Updated animations thread.

It looks cool!

Like I said before, the attack looks just like I imagined, so it's a pretty great job indeed!

The Getting Hit animation looks also cool, but I don't remember in which state it was before you took it

Hello Enrothians!

Yesterday I was helping Orzie with another mini-project for the promotion of the mod, which is remaking the classic crests of heroes 1/heroes 2.

First one is the orange one!

Original:


My take:


Ashirox's take (for comparison):

IMG:

That is very impressive!!
I can't wait to see the blue tower crest!!!

edit: hmmm blue "chess tower" crest was an Heroes1 crest ??
Weren't also an unicorn crest??

I'm not sure about the black one and turquoise yet, but these from H2 will be 100% made:


Black and Turquoise:


My draft of the turquoise one based on H1 crest, work in progress though:

Truth be told, I haven't been closely watching the progress of this project but at least let me say this : I love that color palette... damn that green with turquoise looks good
*shivers

Thank you very much refalcoon!

I think I'll do red one (in HD) next

I didn't even realize that there's a sun/moon there!

As always...it becomes like repetition but I have to say it! Good jobe Ragoon!

Looks awesome!

How about the crystal as the base of turquoise  crest?

I thought about this idea once. But, square icons were removed from the game for a reason. Probably, this crest shape was considered by NWC as too simple. I still hope to find use to all this graphics from H1 for artifacts and maybe other assets of the project.

I'm midway though the green piece (not finished yet, just looking for some activity in the forums :p):
Not any updates for you Orzie, you've already seen this one.

I like it so much:^D^: , just in the "bottom-right" side of the border of the shield, the .. oh wait, you said it's not finished!!

Couple new images. More in the works for the beta. Sorry for wip quality of the anims, but it's better than nothing, as long as the design is not final it'll do the job just fine :p







PS Updated animations thread.

Looks good! I am very happy to see you back dear Ragoon

I'm still working, just behind the curtain

Remaining anim for the anu:
Fun fact - I like to act some of the animations I make in real life to make sure they feel natural for the creature - no unnatural movements, falling, lying etc. This way I can make sure they're beliveable

Yeah, looks cool. I am still wondering about that standing scythe though, because it's taking so much space and no other corpse in the game does not have that kind of display. Perhaps it should be disappearing too.

It also draws a lot of attention and irritates the eye when there are more than 1 dead Anubite stack on the battlefield and you try to maneuver amongst these corpses.

I find it weird and a bit bizarre that only his head vanishes, maybe you could do it for his entire body or something else?

I also thought about that because this might look even cooler and emphasize on the Anubite "half-undead" feature.

By the way, the Anubites cannot be transformed to Skeletons at the Transformer - one more hidden reference to their robotic nature in MM6.
