aajs Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have been trying to improve the look of my troops in order to make them look more heroic but without going over the top. As is probably obvious, I am no graphics artist but I was wondering does this look any good or should I start over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefsbrian Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The alienhead patch is nice, but the proportions are a bit weird. Like, man boobs weird. Surprisingly, most soldiers in real life aren't ripped, and xenonauts representative of this. Not to mention, our troops are clearly bottom of the barrel .

Skitso Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Yeah, the alien patch is cool little detail but otherwise, he doesn't look super hero to me, more like morbidly obese Michelin man with muscles in all the wrong places (anatomically). Drawing an anatomically sound human without it looking strange is difficult even if you are a talented artist. I mean no disrespect, but you probably need a bit more practice in that regards.

Ogaburan Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 ...more like morbidly obese Michelin man with muscles in all the wrong places (anatomically). Had to lol at this description... If you are going for "Beef" and don't mind the somewhat "Blizzard-cartoonish look", you might be on the right track. Im not a fan of neither...

aajs Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Haha Thanks so much for the feedback guys, you're comments gave me such a laugh. Okay so this attempt will definatley be scratched. Its much harder than I thought it would be, but at least it gives you a laugh. I am not sure I have the talent to produce anything at stiskos kind of level (great fan of your work) however I am going to have another attempt, so watch thiis post if you like a laugh. This time if it turns out to grossly disfigured I am going to try and pass it of as a new alien class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinHann Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That defies the laws of physics lol, this guy could not possibly get in those trousers (nor will be in any condition to run and shoot on the battlefield!) On the other hand for enhanced appearance you could remove the boots and leave him on socks. Get creative with the color of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Amazing! I wonder if a thick layer of fat resists plasma... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogaburan Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 lol share the 2nd one! It looks amazing! Hobonauts mod anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sorry, but i actually look pic #1 looks good. Looks a trained guy with a good upper body. I would make the trousers a bit less big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theon Greyjoy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Skitso's anatomy lessons definitely paid off! The 2nd one looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agris Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wouldn't it be awesome if the engine would pull pictures such as aajs's fat dude if the unit's TU value was below a certain value? Or a scrawny version if their STR was below Y? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aajs Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks Ragnarok thats one vote for the Michelin man and about 8 against. I feel I need the big hero guy in my game, but its funny the fat guy does kind of work too. Agris has a really cool idea and I think that would be real amazing if it could be implemented... in theory it could be done as the soldier stats are provided as part of the sequipview script, so it sounds like you could drop an if statement in the correct place and get it to work. Unfortunately lua is not a language I understand, does anybody have the skills to get this done as my trial and error approach does not seem to be producing anything useful.
