EB Unit Development Art

[Casuir]

Thought I saw one of those chainmail veil guys he'd done for seleukids?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

That was discoskull. He did four pieces for us and then sort of vanished. But his work did catch the eye of caratacos, who contacted us about doing more after he had seen the work of discoskull. I'm the one who puts together the sig banners mostly, and I want to keep them consistent, so I'm only using caratacos' art for these new units ones.

You really should incorporate some of Caratacos' art into some loading screens because I've learned the Calawre, Cingetos and Cohors Reformata ones by heart. And I think these types of loading screens, the ones describing the units and their equipment in depth are the best. Not that I have something against the ones made up of maps
And more quotes would also be great, the Celtic ones from the "Cycles" are just awesome.

Let's just say we think along the same lines...

Meanwhile...

Someone asked to see my sketches aways back... so here's a progression of how things work... sort of...

Saka Elite/Heavy Cataphract:

... and then colour (abviously)

As you can see there were a few changes-- mainly to the horse armour.

Hayasdan General:



I wasn't vey happy with the horse in this one. I still aren't but it does look a helluva lot better than the orignal (as you can no doubt see).... ughhhh

Pontos General:



This one actually had pretty much been designed (after a very lengthy discussion) and didn't require any real changes in design-- Thanks again, Dave .

Unfortunately as I have other commitments and do this in my spare time they were a little bit too rushed for my liking. If I could redo them I'd definitely tidy up the scale armour a bit (particularly the Pontos Gen.).

So yeah... they start off really ugly and then I sort of hammer out most (not all) of the ugly bits until i'm happy (though never totally happy) with them.

Excellent work - all of the immages.
Have you ever thought about making some faction based wallpapers using these? The wallpapers I tried to do aren't much more than bad jokes ^^

But I got a question: Were do I find a complete immage of that Gaestatae holding the head of a former enemy in his left?
