Great art. But the Black Uruks' human skin is easily noticed.

Wow....great work again.

Thank you!!!!

EDIT:
BTW, Nazgul 2 & 4 are very similar. Is it possible to get one that looks like Uvatha? I think he was missed, and I really like the look of Uvatha.

Nice work!

But I don't understand the choice of Gandalf for Círdan...
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

thats NOT gandalf, just based off of him using one of his core images. find and compare the original picture...thats totally not him.


in fact, I'd say he looks more like gil-galad

I'd have to agree. Having just done some alpha work on the image, it is not Gandalf though the base image is recognizable as a known image of Gandalf.

great 2D art :blink:

Evil Men Leadership is easily my favorite

Blakc Uruks are noticeable as human. It's their necks more than anything.

And robnkarla right, everyone knows it's an image based off Gandalf, that's why it seems familiar to Gandalf

Those are really my only gripes with what you presented here. Otherwise great work.

Thanks to you and everyone.

after re-reading this thread, I wanted to express my reasoning behind gandalf as the core image for cirdan was that the in game unit was based off of gandalf's beard and hair and overall wizard..ness.

Nice update again!!!

Now I just have to say, that is exactly the type of image I was looking for in teh Three Hunters. I don't think I could be more pleased!!!

The only thing I would ask would be to see if you could use lesser known actors in the images, but that can wait for a later time. (Simlar how you changed Imrahil's face). I've added a LOT of the art already and I hope to have it all in tonight :p

Lastly, I know you've stated you were not going to do Khamul and Mogramir as EA already provided something, but I would love it if you could find 2 more nazgul portraits/buttons as well as the Uvatha. I like your images much more for the Nazgul much more so than EA's.

Thank you!!
Robert J.

Lastly, I do like the Cirdan.

Thanks rob, Yeah Ive acctually run out of the core images I used for the nazgul..I think I had like only 6 or 7. If I did a couple more i'd manipulate those core images, which is cool but for the time being, I'd like to get more palantirs done and things for the evil men faction ;) before I go back and make things look their best.




edit:

I thought mel Gibson would be a great edition! :p :p :p
