Fix IG infantry portraits or start drawing the DLC ? :3

Postby Kilgarn » Fri 04 Oct, 2013 12:54 pm

As title says pretty much :P
I'll soon finish the Grey Knights and the Terminator Force commander (thats only 4x portraits total left) and would want to move on the next faction =)

I considered adding few of the IG infantry a new portrait since they look crappy...
Namely Ogryn, Catachan Devils, Spotters and perhaps the Guardsman. Not sure if I should do a different one for the Stormtroopers too, since the GK ones already get a new one (I still think its a sloppy work...).

If you guys think I should let me know :P
Alternatively, I can start working on the DLC factions =)

The most requested one was the Death Korps of Krieg =) But I'll leave it for this thread to decide which one you guys would like me to get a makeover ;)
Fire away :D

I like the Deathkorp Portraits, but Im not going to complain about new ones for the units that still use their Cadian ones.

Ogryns and spotters could use new portrait in DLC and in regular models in the game.
And if you make ogryn bone ead portrait make the bionic eye have shining red light :3
But I'd say you should make one with out mask and the pain over it a mask. that should do it nicely.

I don't really know about the portraits but since you're really good at 2D and I'm not would it be ok with you if you reworked the textures I made for the Reapers? I can't quite catch the right color and stuff to make it fit the rest of the units.

@Commissar Yarrick --- Would like to make Catas, Spotters + Ogryns a new portrait on the default IG too later either way, they look pitiful T_T
The Krieg DLC will get new unit portraits for every infantry :3 Since the commanders are covered ^^ (there at least xD)

@Diniel --- Yup, Inquisitorial Stormtroopers will get a different looking portrait with the GK faction :3 Dont want two identical portraits to exist in the game ^^;
Also though to do a makeover for the base IG stormtrooper, since their mask looks funny...

@David-CZ --- hm, I havent worked with textures yet, but if you tell me what you need precisely I'll try my hand with it :3

It would be nice, if you could draw a portrait for Force Commander with a helmet, so we get rid of Boreale 2.0. Anyways, great job so far on GK portraits, mate.

The IG portraits you self-identified as needing some love I agree on - ogryns, catachans, spotters primarily and the heavy weapon team/guardsmen secondarily. Any love that IG gets I would greatly appreciate <3
Lets make Ordo Malleus great again!

Let's say for example the reaper exarch's head. Overall it looks decent but the dirt modifier isn't quite right and it lacks any sort of scratches that can be seen on other units.

Not sure how much you are familiar with how textures work but I'm posting a link to the psd and individual dds files of the head. You can take a look at it and if you'd still feel like giving it a try I'd give you a thorough description of what things which thing does.

Agreed :3
The other hand of the Mighty Emperor also needs to look cool :D
Besides... since I've read the Gaunt's Ghosts saga, I'm a big fan of Kommissars and the rag-tag infantry :3

I'd actually like to see some portraits redone for some of the vehicles to be honest. The sentinel picture is too small, and a close up of the closed cockpit for the driver would be pretty cool (and even better if you could make it action-y, that is to say, a shot of the sentinel close up shooting it's multilas, the red maybe reflecting dully on the sentinel's hull). As for infantry, Catachan's look pretty meh, same with ogryn and storms. You should also replace the spotter's icon, as it's a tad bit silly seeing Merik's portrait on 'em.

And I actually like the GM's and HWT portraits. They're pretty gritty.

Yea, about that :3
I dont think I'd change the guardsman and heavy wep team, only if multiple people request it :)
Catas and Ogryns + spotter NEED a new portrait seriously XD
Mmmmm not sure about the vehicles tbh... I was planning to make a redone for the walkers (dread, Wraithlord, Sentinel, ect.) since they can look different by chapter/legion/craftworld :3 (like... 1000sons dread looks a whole lot different to say, Deathguard one ^^)
But I'd like to make the infantry units first since they are used a lot more often. Vehincles... they are all in-game shots as I've checked when I zoomed in from the vehicles themselves. Not sure how should I draw a vehicle portrait tbh... but will give it a try if I see people request it :)
Othervise I'd focus on finishing up the DLC faction then doing the chapter/legion specific portraits first :)
And fixing the default ones (like Force Commander, Terminator Force Commander, remaining GK units, IG infantry, ect :D)

And if Hans wont come back, I'll need to draw a portrait for the Dark Reapers and the Fire Dragons too :P

I think HansMoleman is just flooded with studies. But he does have enough time to dedicate on CoH2 tho, he's my 2v2/3v3/4v4 partner afterall.

I sent you a description of how the textures work in a private message. Don't know if you get a notification or something, but I wanted to be sure you know.
