AOF skins

[Stratego (dev)]

good news i made a way that skins can simply be copied into game, so no json editing needed at all
(if all reskinned images are in same size, animations in same number if images as original)

so feel free to send any unit skin image packs i can put them in in 1 minutes if the above image sizes fit.

i think they need more polishing but let others (having better artistic gifts) say ideas.
also we have 3 levels of these units already, so i suggest making all levels

@QuadrupoleStrat I think you need more practice bt the more you try the better you'll get

[Stratego (dev)]

i think we still dont have ANY skins in AOF.
(in AOS and AOW we have many many.)

[Anchar]

I tried to draw a vampire skin

[makazuwr32]

That maybe can be used as base skin actually when we will remake vampire into full sub.

I tried to draw a vampire skin

[Anchar]

I could try to change the skins for people if I had their images.

[desatixix]

daniel

can I try making desert skins for people? They seem to have been accepted. Do you need these skins for each unit?

[desatixix]

I could try to change the skins for people if I had their images.

I was able to get images of all the units and buildings in the game;)

[makazuwr32]

Not now about desert skins because desert sub will be a thing and we need to put them firstly as for me.

[Anchar]

Maybe then the oriental style? (Japan, China, Korea) or Slavic?

[makazuwr32]

I actually would like to see slavic based humans (basic ones alas).

Japanese + chinese style will be used for rising sun elves.

[desatixix]

what can you draw now, what do you need?

I am probably one of the worst drawers on forum.
Something like this is my best possible drawing.

Hmm ... this theme is kind of called cosmetic skins for existing fighters.

I think your post needs a new topic, and I would also like to know the resolution of these images.

As I understand it, some of them are icons in the statistics sheet (like a green drop of poison), some are flying pieces of something that should replace arrows? And also elementals as new fighters and new fighters?

If you say that you draw so badly, why do you have such a skin on your avatar?

[Anchar]

And by the way, I drew the Spriggan.

[desatixix]

I can try to make elementals, spell icons, and wizards if they can be drawn using a human unit template

[Anchar]

I tried to draw a water elemental.

[Anchar]

And air.

[Savra]

Actually, we only need the wind, ice, and thunder elemental, lynx drew the others a while back:

[Anchar]

It's an ice elemental.

[Anchar]

Well, no one bothers me to draw my own version for the skin. The topic is right.

[makazuwr32]

wind one actually looks quite good.
ice elemental i think must be more icey and not that thin.

[Anchar]

Well, you kind of wrote that he is a spellcaster, not a tank, so he is thin.
