Art Requests

[SilentThief]

Mebbe someday I would re-do PoR. It is hard to pick a favorite goldbox game, but it is definately in the top 9 , mebbe even top 3. There were things they did in PoR that they cut out of future GB games, like the training hall had a single character "mirror match" combat for 1 PC to engage an NPC named Rolf who had the same exact abilities, the ability to pick your own portrait (thankfully DC does this, now we need a huge selection of portraits), they had a person on a horse for a map icon (that turned to face direction you moved), PoR had the only Animate Dead spell (and I've heard but don't know if you could use it on the final boss after he dies), Random lairs on overland map (enter a dungeon once and clean it out or forever forget about it), and IIRC you can find a sword with an alignment (PCs can be ANY alignment, cannot remember if future GB games allowed this) and if you try to equip it with someone not matching it would hurt them.

To pull up an old thread and get it back on it's original topic; I would like to make a request, Uatu.

I would like several icons. Some of them would be recolors of others.

unicorn
horse- dun, black and brown
charger- brown, zebra colored but red instead of white, red with black tail and mane
people- warrior in black with silver trim wearing a black cloak and holding a scimitar, ranger all in green, warrior missing right hand and half of fore-arm, stocky warrior with no weapons and black hair, red-haired man without weapons (can look mage-like but should be wearing pants), red-haired female mage, red-haired warrior in full plate (no helmet), regal king with long black hair, hunchbacked man just a tad taller than a dwarf, red-haired thief, grizzled veteran warrior balding with grey beard
people on horseback- black and silver figure on dun, green ranger on red/black zebra charger, one armed man on red with black hair, red-haired thief on black, grizzled warrior on brown

[Uatu]

Hmm - a bunch of equids! But what is a charger? Sort of a brown-red zebra (instead of black-white)?

But that is a lot of specific people requests (a new mod in development perhaps? ) - perhaps I can do a few, but I don't think all of them...

[manikus]

A charger is a large male horse, typically used as a warhorse.

When I started that post, I was only going to ask for a unicorn. I would really like the unicorn, and all the rest are not so big of a deal.

I would also like an icon of a manticore.

[Uatu]

I like unicorns, so that one is a good possibility (Plus, I can erase the horn and do a palette swap for a nearly-free horse!)

A manticore would be fun to do, too...

[manikus]

Fun is good.

[Uatu]

Maybe I can even get a nightmare for free... (Am I asking for too much?)

[Dinonykos]

I can do some icons too. I remember that I said the same concerning some other requests before ( ), BUT the people icons you asked for sound interesting, and I could relatively easily change some of my own icons into those (removing the marten/tiger noses and tails, adding some humanoid faces, et voila!). Since I am not going to use the "normal" combat anyway in the respective design, it would be a good oportunity to use stuff that otherwise would be rejected...

Concerning icons, the styles of Uatu and me are quite well fitting, so it should not be a aesthetical problem here. (Although Uatu's icons are somewhat more detailled, I admit... )

Some questions:

"trim": something like "decorative border"?

"warrior missing right hand and half of fore-arm" and "one armed man on red with black hair": same person here? Or in general: people on horsebacks are all the same as described above?

"stocky": means something like "stout", "sturdy"?

"red-haired female mage": chubby? slender?

"regal": "majestic", I assume?

I would love to see icons by you as well, Dinonykos.

You are correct on all accounts, the one armed man is the same person in both cases and the red-haired female mage should be thin.

Hmm, I guess I'll start planning the portraits for these folks.
