I reposted this image because this version is scanned vs photographed and is more accurate to the original (there is no reflection off of the graphite)



This is quick sketch I did, more of a character study than anything. I usually post time consuming detailed drawings that never turn out as well as id like them to. I almost like this simple drawing better.

I agree with you Cherppow. I think our limitations on ploy count and texture size are a bit low, especially looking at the game now compared to 3 years ago when i discovered it. The problem is the fact that we would have to remodel/texture a lot of our in game content, which we don't have enough of as it is. But it is true that computers are becoming insanely powerful now for lower prices since the creation of multi-core processors and soon I imagine even the lowest price dells will be able to play a more graphically advanced version of PS with ease. Certainly any new machine with a graphics card now can pull it off. Another issue however is that if we were to raise our expectations for our content, the level of expertise to produce art for the game is increased pretty drastically and the amount of qualified people to work on the game would drop significantly.

If you want to see a game with simply amazing graphics, check out Crysis. The engine it uses renders soft shadows, bumb mapping, depth of field, motion blur, and a lot more.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I mainly stick to uninteresting poses because I am trying to create designs rather than scenes. Oningo, most of the work on this thread is very old; the models were done as an experiment and i wasnt trying to build anything impressive, But I am a member of the PS team in the 2d department, doing textures. Although its been a while

Baldur, because I like pencils



A photoshop project for school

I think i should repost it after scanning it because the light hitting the graphite apears as a reflection in the camera. The image quality isn't too great.  Thanks for the compliments though guys.

This has got to be the whiniest, most pointless thread in the universe. Congratulations.

My guess would be that it wont be too long before there is a set of kran textures to choose from in the near future. Youll notice that nearly all of the graphical additions lately have been in the texture department. In other words, I wouldnt worry about whether its in game or not. People tend to forget that this project isnt done, and seem to believe that graphics devs look these things over.

Idoru, the artist did not make them for any particular race which bothers me. They are very unoriginal except for the fact that they have excessively large horns that clash with the rest of the helmet design. Basically I think they look like they were thrown together simply to add variety. Now the original non horned helmets are a slightly different story. They aren't bad but they still only look decent on a few races.
