Title: Thodan's Beginning
Post by: Thodan on March 28, 2007, 02:01:06 pm

[[I thought Id use the same style in presenting my art as Cherppow, STORY TIME!. Please don't flame me for this, yes the story is similar, and yes both our characters are hulking blacksmiths, I tried to contact him to ask for permission but I couldn't get hold of him.]]

Lately, around the Iron mining area, a tall well muscled man is seen measuring the ground, often mumbling to himself, his name is Thodan, Thodan Stonemould. After a few weeks a well built little shack, little over 1 meter by 1 meter wide is constructed, maybe a toolshed? He sleeps outside it, and usually leaves it behind during the day, locking it with a crude heavy iron lock.

He returns carrying a bundle of spears "Good for the hunting"

[[Also, I wished to modify some skins, for the characters and such, where do I find them in the planeshift files?]]

You can find the character skins in a zip file called Characters.zip in [PS_Directory]/Art.

Nice work btw :)

if it is DDS, Photoshop should be able to handle it... may need a plugin, not sure.

Nvidia DDS Tools (http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_texture_tools.html): You'll want the Photoshop plugin and Windows texture viewer :]

Love the spears!

There is also a nice plugin for The GIMP which seems quite robust.
