One thread for all my new graphics

[zade_o]

Tired of using multiple threads, should've just started one in the first place. Well here it is, all my new graphics thrown into one thread. This first post will be continually updated as well as a new post with only the update.

SPRITES/EQUIPMENT:::::
- new sprite, might go back and do some more shading once i finish all the frames of movement, but for now this works.

TILES:::::
- animated water
- new houses
- fishing village
- only image i had for the trees

MONSTERS:::::
jormangund, idle anim
fenrir, idle + attack

I REALLY like the new sprites design. Sorta looks like a cartoon superhero.

[zade_o]

Thanks man! That's kinda what I'm aiming for. Like a combination of that, and just a brawny viking man. lol. But i'm trying to shade it a little extra so it doesn't look like too cartoony.

Glad you like it!

[Dark Crusade]

Haha, I'm not a big fan of particular cartoon styles, but I love the sprite! And yes, as mentioned it's a great combination of the cartoon-style, as well as the viking brawn. Vikings FTW.

[Kusy]

They suck… lol, just joking. I like them really. Only thing I would recomend is giving Fen an additional attack animation... as a wolf, it would seem more natural to bite. Also if you want to get more refference or simply get into the mood I suggest you buy this book:
and read this manga (if you're into manga) [Vinland Saga](http://www.onemanga.com/Vinland_Saga/1/01/)

[gaming ace]

Im really liking the sprite, as well as the two monsters. Very nice graphics.

[Kusy]

Vikings are like Dwarfs… they are born with beards. You shouldn't even consider making a beardless sprite ;D

[gone55]

I like those monster sprites :)

[zade_o]

Lol, well I'm leaving the sprite beardless because i'm gonna let players pick their beard color and I haven't gotten around to making the beard yet.

Thanks for the resource suggestions kusy! i will definitely look into that stuff.
And I'm glad you all like the graphics!

The house thing looks like it lacks a  bottom part.

@Ddunit:

> The house thing looks like it lacks a  bottom part.

I'm pretty sure its proportionally correct to the design its based off

[zade_o]

What do you mean a bottom part?

[magezhilo]

I am truly jealous of you graphics Ghost. :cry:

[Godlord]

*claps*

Well done, your style is amazing and that's probably the least I could say.

@Ddunit:

> The house thing looks like it lacks a  bottom part.

Yes and no, it depends on how you look at it. You're probably used to huge houses, but in this case the house is meant to be small. You can also see that this is true because there's some sort of border at the bottom of the walls. So as Kreator said, it's proportionally correct.

Regards,

The more I look at the sprite the more I like it. Nice work!

[HappyBoy]

am I allowed to say…. AWESOME!!!!
??

Anyway, really nice work: 9.9/10

This image gives a decent example of the house i'm building, except it doesn't have the support beams you can find in other resource images for viking huts. And yeah, this is supposed to be a smaller hut meant for small encampments but not big towns. I have other plans for those houses.

And thanks again everybody! I should have a few more things up by tonight, unfortunately i'm nearing the time when i have to stop working on graphics for a while and start building the game in flash….that's gonna be an adventure.

Here in Sweden where I live, there is an island where some people have built up a village very accurate.

[zade_o]

That's pretty bad ass dude. You should visit it. haha

[Anna Comnena]

The **longhouse** looks great, the only thing missing is the smoke hole in the eve. Maybe make the shadows a little less straight, have them bow in a few pixels at places (because the thatch roof is not perfectly straight, and shadows are slightly diffuse anyway.

I don't like the new sprite at all, looks like stretch armstrong or something… ridiculous.

[Dark Crusade]

@Anna:

> I don't like the new sprite at all

BLASPHEMY! Nah just joking, each to their own.

[Techno 5.0]

Idr if this has anything to do with Viking lore but you could use the infamous Valhalla as an area in your game. Maybe pvp? A long map of different terrains where heroes fight. Lol idk. Umm very nice sprites tho. Better than what I can do xD

[zade_o]

lol… is valhalla related to norse mythology... you crack me up.

anyways, it is, but idk if i'm going to use it because of the storyline i'm going with. i'll try to think of a way to incorporate it.

@ Anna, yeah the smokehole is one of the things I was supposed to make last night. unfortunately I fell asleep super early. And like Kreator said, to each her* own. I respect your opinion but the sprite is how i envisioned them a long time ago before I was able to transfer my hand drawn art to pixel art so I'm gonna keep the sprite as is.

On a side note, the sprite is wider than the door, so I'm sort of debating on adding a comical tidbit where the sprite has a squeezing animation when going through doors lol idk yet.

[Marsh]

The new sprite is well done, the proportions are just wierd. Is he a body builder whats with the tiny legs? The angle that it is displayed in may may it look a bit worse then it actually is but i thought id point it out.

[Dark Crusade]

Yeah its the perspective and comical-style Marsh. In the opinion of a spriter, I'm really fond of it. And it's original, which is great.
