Indian Portraits

[Hobbes]

Hi folks, any budding artists among you? I'm creating a new scenario for WiA but I need at least a generic Indian portrait. Maybe just amend an existing one (Sangarecha?)

If after doing that you feel like making a few more I don't think any of the chiefs I need have ever had a portrait made so really you could do what you like as long as we take a quick look at the tribal dress and hair etc. But really what I need is a single generic portrait.

Cheers, Chris

I must confess I don't own the game, but would something like this work?..

[arsan]

Wow!!
Very nice!

It looks like the bad guy from The Last Mohican!

[dooya]

Yes, really nice!

[Hobbes]

That's great Bo!

Now I can get you started on my missing generals

Many thanks
Chris

[Bo Rearguard]

Thanks guys.

What size in pixels should they be?

[Hobbes]

Can anyone with 'art experience' answer this please?

Many thanks, Chris

In NCP the size in pixels is

81 x 81 for the units panel (graphics\units)

63 x 83 for the map (graphics\armies&fleets)



From the screenshots I have seen probably it is different in WIA, so you have to check in your graphics folder, or better send an example of each folder to Bo Rearguard.

Thanks Nikel, I will do this tonight when I get home.

For WiA :

85 x 85 for the units

96 x 110 for the map icons

78 x 135 for the portraits (no portrait for leaders)

[Jabberwock]

The WIA images are almost identical in spec to AACW images.

96 x 110 canvas size for the map (army) images, but the actual picture is drawn in a space between these approximate points: (10, 14), (54, 14), (10, 78), (54, 78) - (44 wide x 64 high). The top line is approximate, cropping is at the bottom, and there is a fade of approximately one-pixel width at the edges.

85 x 85 canvas size for the unit images. The background oval is drawn inside a box using these points as corners: (7, 3), (73, 3), (7, 78), (73, 78) - (64 wide x 75 high). It has a one-pixel white (ffffff) border (internal not external), and a peach (fee7be) background.

78 x 135 canvas for full-length portraits.

Did you do that? or you found it on the internet?

[Bo Rearguard]

Thanks for the helpful info guys.

It's a digital painting using Photoshop and a wacom tablet. It's come a long way, but it's still a work in progress. In the beginning he looked more like Vin Diesel.

[PhilThib]

He looks like Magwa, the Huron chief in "The Last of the Mohicans"

Same actor played Geronimo Longevity for Native Americans

He stole the show in Last of the Mohecans, though.

[GlobalExplorer]

I think it looks great, fitting this game perfectly.

[Hobbes]

Hi Bo, images as mentioned.

Captain Etherington 20 or so years older :-




Major Gladwyn :-



Thanks so much!
Chris

[Bo Rearguard]

Okey-dokey.

Gladwyn came off looking a bit like a villian, but oh well.

[Hobbes]

Well he's British so what else would he look like?



Thanks again Bo!
Chris

[Hobbes]

Adding Guyasuta as backup.

[Obediah]

"Magua understands the English very well..." or words to that effect. Wes Studi should have won a Oscar for that performance, IMO!

He also played Wovoka in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Wes Studi.
