Tusky:
So I've been moving forward with making some 3d assets for the new project.

Most recently I've been making a series of medieval peasants that will form a dynamically created crowd. Here's a (fairly long) image showing the creation of the latest lady (was thinking of making this into an animated GIF slideshow but not sure it would work in the forum?).
Anyway it begins with initial sketches, then a drawn profile, then that is used in blender to create the 3d model. Once that's created I move on to texturing (or "colouring in" as I call it).



You might notice that the pallette is only black & white. That works like a mask, so several colour schemes can be made for the same model.

She's not in extreme fine detail like some of the exciting sculpts you might get on poly count. That is intentional since the game will be "top down", meaning you will only see the models from a distance and I'm aiming for a certain style as well. 

Here's a screen shot of how the new lady pezzy looks with the other 3 (having a good time drinking in a field.)

Nice! I really like the art style :)

Rosarioz:
For the content I have read these are considered to increase my knowledge to a great deal.

Jubal:
Any news on this? :)
