All new Time of Day Pictures
I put these together this evening. What do you think?
They are really beautiful, but I'm not sure. It's a difference between really beautiful photos, and hand drawn pictures. All the other graphics we have in Wesnoth are hand drawn, these look like stunning photos and I just think the style might clash a bit.
Edit: i just read turin's post in underground status picture. Obviously it is unfair to expect you to redo all the artwork in wesnoth, so that you don't clash with the other styles. However I didn't think your underground pictures looked as much like photos as these do (perhaps becuase they were so dark). Maybe if each picture was of the same landscape at different times of the day it might help, right now it looks like a montage of really beautiful photos.

I agree, the underground pics (particularly the first one) do look more cartoony than the others, and should fit in fine. On the other hand, I'm not sure that having a photogenic image in the upper-right would clash with the graphics in any serious way. After all, they aren't really photo-detail.
Perhaps if someone with webhosting were to insert them and take some photographs of them in play, we could judge them better. Come to think of it, I think I have webhosting somewhere... *Searches*

I also am dubious. I tend to be sympathetic toward Eponymous Archon's point of view -- he has been asking for time-of-day images that look less 'realistic'/attractive and more clearly day/night (i.e. just a large sun or moon).
These images look more attractive, but less clear. I tend to like the current ones.

Wesnoth has support for themes, is time of day one of the themeable parts because I think those images would make an excellent addition to a secondary theme.
