REQUEST - New images for orcish crossbowman
Moderator: Forum Moderators
They are neither. The line between orc and goblin is quite blurred - some creatures are clearly one or other, but the ones that make up the assassin and archer lines could most accurately be called ... half orcs. They're definitely not goblins, but they're also not the big uruk-hai-like bulldozers.Gus wrote:I was under the impression Archers and Assassins were actually goblins.
He looks great, although he may still be a smidge too burly. Maybe 1-2 pixels less in width...Here's a crossbowman just about the height of a grunt. Too burly still?
... here's an edit (also changing the color of his shoulderpads).
In fact, I think this is fairly close to a final version - apply some last-minute polish to this sucker, if you would, and then it's time for zhukov's slurbow.
Btw - great work on the crossbow itself - it looks much cleaner than before. I'll make a note that with regards to attack frames, I'd like to do to this fellow (and the slurbow) what is currently done with the thunderer; I'd like to give him directional ranged frames.

Well, in Wesnoth, Goblins are Orcs, it's a social/power distinction, not a racial one. That's why i meant with my comment, and Jetryl's comment about Archers means that it's not definite whether they are weak or not (they are quite sturdy after all).
In any case, "the archers are all orcs" doesn't help at all since it's not backed up by any form of reasoning or justification, and that there's already an official stance on the matter.

Hard work may pay off in the long run, but laziness always pays off right away.

Further grist for the mill; note that I don't care much about any of the *specific* things I added to the costume, but do care that it should have more "visual noise" to it in terms of additional parts compared to before.
Eternal, re: bow: his pose looks "finalized" now/in the last version you posted. Go ahead and make the bow.
There's more than one way he could end up holding it; let's start with whatever seems most natural to you and see if that works out. I like the way he's holding his dagger right now, and I think that much can be treated as 'final'.
