SciFi/Fantasy Unit Graphics

[techumseh]

It gets easier with practice, doesn't it?

Nice units!

Looking good CS. I have not played any of the Biterfrost series yet but now I have finished OMG I am ready for the challenge. One query, when I try to dl the extra icons from the SL page I am re-directed to the SL Home page! Can this be fixed?

Nice units!

I found that planning everything out in columns helped hugely.

I'll be doing that from now on!

I'll fix that tonight!

The SL Wiki zips for BFII are now sorted!

Very nice indeed!
Some half-hearted mods of G's masterpieces, hope you like'm.

Elessar, is this what you were talking about?

[Elensar]

Something like that should do very nicely, yes.

Its not exactly what I had in mind, but I should be able to put it to good use. : )

[Elensar]

Then again...argh.

The graphics are beautiful, don't get me wrong.

But this has turned out not to be the elves I desire either.

Okay, so I'm kind of picky. Unfortunately (using Yahoo, as Google would turn out a hundred times as many links and probably not find any better ones) I cannot find a good picture that properly visualizes what I'm looking for.

Perhaps someone with time on their hands could work on one for me, and we could fine tune it back and forth instead of hunting down an existing or somewhat edited model? That may be best.

The dwarves are lovely though, to me, they seem too small. Gimli may be only four feet tall or so, but he still seems like a grown man. Just a short one.

Ah well, editing humans down to Dwarf height is easier, so I'll focus on the stuff I can do without pestering someone to create something.

Again, thanks.

[tanelorn]

Post a picture of what you'd like, with some comments.
Don't despair.

Meanwhile, get ready for that ferocious monster, the Dwarf War-Donkey! Oliphaunts beware!

Quoting the rider: "Who'ye callin' an @$$?"

[Elensar]

We'll see. Its not despair as much as frustration...but I'm tired and I may catch something and say "Oh! That's a good one!" in the morning.

Nice Dwarf. : )

They're not half-arted at all, mate. They're great!

[curtsibling]

Excellent work, Tanelorn!

You are as modest as ever, but your output rocks!

A Roman soldier riding a Battle Cow. An idea thought up by the Roman Emperor in the aforementioned story.

Well, they did actually try incendiary pigs against elephants, didn't they?

-edit-
Holy cow!
Hindu style?

[Elensar]

Argh.

The best thing I can think of, for what I'd like in an "elven archer" is in Warcraft 2.

Pinkish skin, yellowish brown (?) jerkin, green pants, maybe a cloak, and a longbow.

Unfortunately, I'm having a damnable time finding a good image of it, this just shows it in color.

I give up (looking). Someone else who wants to type "Elven archer" or "Elf archer" or "elvish archer" or whatever is welcome to do so.

As stated earlier, Favored Flight's Legols unit is very nice, but I would change the head, at the least.

For some reason, it seems better me for elves to have golden kind blonde hair, certainly not pale blonde, and the face...just doesn't look right.

Why do you need such a specific Elf Elensar? Are you making a scenario? If so then why not use someone elses Elves while you make the game and by the time you are finished you are sure to have found a good picture of what you are looking for and I am sure someone would help make it!
