    I don't have TWS2, so I'm not entirely sure what each avatar represents. Obviously, I see Geishas, but there are others that I'm unsure whether they qualify as generals, samurai, or ninjas. Plus, there's a few that look almost like peasants. Since you know what you've taken pictures of, could you re-organize them in your post into categories like that? All the other game avatars are split up in that manner, and I'd like to keep the structure consistent.

    Also, if you're looking to create more, in previous games people were able to find the raw artwork files in the games and edit them from there, to avoid having to take in-game screenshots of everything.

    Posts reorganized. Generals and Daimyo avatars split into their own respective groups. Unit card and agent avatars all have clear labels that define what you're looking at.

    TinCow gave me an archive filled with art lifted directly from the game's files. The one downside is there's no background for them. I Don't think it was included, and don't know where to find it. Here's an example, posted with the suggested "level six ninja" avatar i planned to do today.



    So i thought it, i'll make a Shogun 2 style backdrop myself. Which wasn't that hard honestly, just applying two colors together in a gradient.



    Overall not that bad, but the edges will require more work than before, as you can see. This will mean instead of 15 min per avatar i'll probably be spending 25 on each due to fine touches. Why am I telling you this? I dunno.

    Looks great! As long as you are having fun, I guess the time invested doesn't matter!

    It gives me a chance to practice image editing, and you guys seem to like it, so hey, win-win for me.
