EB Unit Development Art

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Sorry. That's the logo and that was the whole point of having it designed like that - so it's not just a cool unit, but represents the mod. "nerdish" is what EB is about man!

[The Celt]

Oh, and one other thing. I really hate it when people start bashing CA. I honestly do. We have a saying on my country, which goes something like..."Don't piss on the pool of drinking water". You can complain on it as long as you want, but ... don't piss on it.

Keravnos, no one was bashing CA. I understand your points but it is their game at heart so like TA said no Merchandising.

ONtopic:So is the next pic gonna be one we've already seen or will it be something new?

Celt, I wasn't referring on you. It was a general remark. "Soon" is the answer to the ONtopic...

Oh I'm sorry! Man I can be so over sensitive sometimes.

I would glady wear a europa barbarorum shirt in public. just not one with a Gaesatae on it. The head in his hand kinda make me able to take the image though.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

We have decided to remove the image of the Gaesatae that Caratacos drew from the public fora. We've had some criticism of it being on the public threads, and although there was a little debate about it, we do agree that it's best to keep it off the public boards and probably shouldn't have made it up here in the first place. It was actually just designed for the signature banners at first, without the direct intent of putting it on the public boards, but we all still love Caratacos' work so much that it was too tempting to share all of it. And in this case "all of it" was a little too much . The team has made its final decision on the matter, so there is no need to further discuss it here.

So that you're not too disappointed though, here is another piece that Caratacos has done for one of our Sweboz units. Enjoy!



Here is the fan sig banner image:


And finally, I thought I'd release a simple wallpaper design. I was working on this and just thought 'the simpler the better', so here is my first real go at it:

[Wolfman]

YESSS!!!!! SWEBOZ BANNERS FINALLY. I can't wait to see the sweboz general!

Very, very wonderful piece of art.
Kudos to the artist.

[Enguerrand de Sarnéac]

One of the best yet! Very nice!

His sword seems bent though...

[Watchman]

Personally, I'd be more concerned about that scabbard which appears to be made for a smallsword...

[Spoofa]

nontheless a great picture.

[Caratacos]

Thanks. And that's what swords do.

yeah it's at the wrong angle (scabbard) for if it was any longer it would go through the ground and I thought that'd look worse. TBH I forgot to do the scabbard entirely so it was a fix up I added later. Initially this piece was done as a sig banner so the details are a bit "relaxed"-- I was only talked into making it a full picture after I had started it. Nonetheless I was somewhat lazy with it.

[Watchman]

Leaving that aside, I kinda like the pose and expression. It's like the guy's ducking and going "Whoa!" at the axe hitting his shield.

To me it looks more like "Okay...who has a deathwish!! He's sooo dead!"

[Watchman]

Granted, there's the "What sonuvabitch messed up my shield?!?!?" angle too.

And "Whoa, that was close - now you're gonna get it pal!"

[Casuir]

Bah no fair take away two and give us one

Don't know about ancient Germanic warriors, but in medieval times scabbards were often hung in an angle, attached with two straps of leather to the main belt (which hung indeed from the shoulder). The belt around the waist was then fastened over the first one; keeping it in place and so.

It's really a nice picture. Could you perhaps post or PM [links to] some of your pencil sketches? I was impressed by the one you made from the legionnaire a few pages ago and it got me curious... (I'm an amateur myself)

THAT was close! Looks like he is facing a nasty Frankish tribe.

Dude... That Grivpanvar...

Teleklos, I know you hate PMs, but please check your inbox

[Orb]

Come on, the Sahsnotoz has clearly just girded up his loins enough to enter the backroom here, and is now reconsidering.

[alatar]

I love that pic, it reminds me when two my elite italics launched a volly at the Spatan hoplites flank. The hoplite just rqaised there sheild turned to face them and charged, they took about 2 casulties and the elite italics were not happy. But they charged them aswell, Italies best against the best greeks, awesome...

(Slightly off topic but the pict made me think about it)

[Teleklos Archelaou]

[Wolfman]

I am struck speechless. What faction does the unit belong to?

[Casuir]

Very nice, Caturiges were a gallic tribe I think.

[Orb]

Just look at that crazy freaky wookie-haired bastard. Excellent.

[Watchman]

War paint was totally old skool for the Gauls though, wasn't it ? And "caedann" sounds awfully Iberian. Would Fuzzy Wuzzy here represent some sort of Celtiberian inbred backwoods hick who never heard painting yourself was so last season or something similar ?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Bumping the new image from today to the next page so it's not missed.

[Fondor_Yards]

He looks just like the backwoods alpine inbred savage the gauls said they were. Sweet...

Gaedann sounds celtic. Theres already one warpainted gallic unit recruitable, the pictones. Caturiges were an alpine gallic tribe though, based in modern day Chorges.
