Zonorhc Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Okay, I'll try to stay away from technique as I'm not too enlightened on the way of the pixel. First, the helmet. The visor should not under any circumstances go around the whole helmet like that. It has to have a hinge on the sides, at least, and is only there to provide vision. Nothing more, nothing less. Give it some holes to provide said vision. Breathing holes come highly recommended underneath that. That plume should either be more impressive or not be there at all. It detracts from the overall defensibility of the helmet by making it just that much easier to catch a piece of sharp or heavy metal on. Also, try to make the helmet a bit more angular, as that would be more effective at stopping blows. Second, the armour plates. The arms seem to be coming out of the front of the torso, rather than the shoulders. Fix that. Also, remove those [bleep]es. From a realistic point of view, those will do nothing more than make the armour weaker. As a major point, try to make the body armour look like it consists of metal plates, rather than a red piece of cloth with oversized shoulder pads. Third, the shield. I don't know about you, but I personally wouldn't hold the shield by its top edge. Try holding a piece of wood like that and defending yourself, let alone a 6.8kg piece of metal. Fourth, the axe. I will say nothing, but I'd like to challenge you to intimidate someone by holding an axe in that position, held with the back of your hand facing your opponent, the axe head leading away from you, and the haft directly in front of your body. Also, try to align that axe head with the haft and the [bleep]e on top. Why you even have a double-bit axe as part of combat equipment is beyond me. Stick to non-JAGeX battle axes. Fifth, the leg armour. Those are pants, not protective metal plates. Sixth, the boots. Boots are meant to be sturdy enough to protect your feet without being ground down by all the weight they have to support. The white things on his feet will do neither of these things. Lastly, the lighting. With the moon in that position, we'd expect shadows to be leading away from it. Add those. Sorry if I come off as a little harsh, but that's the way these things are...

tombo_343 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 you could've explained that in a less harsh way tho. it was my first attempt, cut me some slack if you would've said that nicer i might have takes some of those things into consideration :wink: and hes not holding the shield at the top its the way its shaped :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 A shield is strapped to your forearm, and is not held by the hand. You'd break your wrist. As I've said before, it's a 6.8kg piece of metal. I hope you take that into consideration.

nonpkiller Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 you could've explained that in a less harsh way tho. it was my first attempt, cut me some slack if you would've said that nicer i might have takes some of those things into consideration :wink: and hes not holding the shield at the top its the way its shaped :x dont ever expect slack from these forums, a lot of these people have ummm "computer smarts" :wink: and think that they are better then u btw pretty good for ur 1st attempt, im still trying to draw decent sigs *points at sig* :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, tombo's being stupid in not taking Zonor's advice into consideration, just because he wasn;'t 'very nice' about it... He is critiquing you, and you should accept or atleast consider his advice... Don't post a sig up for everyone, if you don't expect some slightly harsh comments... And nonpkiller, because we CC someone, doesn't mean we are 'computer-smarts' and act like we are better then them... It's advice, take it or leave it... If you leave it, your loss...

If you leave it, your loss... like it says in the post nothing too harsh please. if you cant read then go back to school, im not stupid in not taking zonors advice because all his mostly was, was to make it more life like, e.g. the shield has to be strapped to his wrist. id like to make the point that runescape is just a game and doesnt have to be life like at all plus i got plenty of friends who could give me pointers too. Zon could've made his post completely different so it wouldn't come off so harsh. im not too bothered, but back on topic ty nonpkiller ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
