Call for mainline portraits and story art
Several of our mainline campaigns are in the works for upgrades at the moment, which includes adding characters and enhancing existing scenarios. We are looking for more artwork to supplement these upgrades, including the following:
5 portraits
18 animated sprites (for The South Guard revision, The Deceiver's Gambit, The Rise of Wesnoth)
I'd like to invite our UMC authors as well as anyone else interested in contributing to mainline to get in touch with me for the details of the above. Please provide examples of your prior artwork as well. Thank you!
5 portraits

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
I wasn't aware anyone was doing anything on mainline content at the moment. There is plenty of movement on the UMC side, but the mainline forums seem deserted and the wiki is even more outdated. So where and how is this coordinated?
I recently got back into Wesnoth and was thinking about doing some work on mainline campaign, specifically unifying the thre versions of Two Brothers that are floating around and making it a better first campaign for beginners as well as sprucing up the maps in HttT, they are quite plain.
I thought I'd just be doing my own thing and worry about potential intergartion, when I got something to show. But if people are already working on stuff, I don't wanna be stepping on any toes or do something that's redundant.

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
From an outside perspective, the mainline seems pretty active! I’ve been modding for a little over 6 years, and I’ve seen three new campaigns added to mainline, one taken out, several rewritten, a new faction added, and new art added for mainline units, with most of that happening just in the last few years.
Drake Campaign: A Fiery Birth | Knalgan Alliance Campaign: Drunkards, Dwarves, and Doubloons | Dunefolk Campaign: Asheviere's Shadow | Northeners Campaign: Goblin's Glory | Undead Campaign: Shakespeare's Ghost | Rebels Campaign: Santa Must Die

Are sprites animations part of the call?nemaara wrote: ↑April 18th, 2024, 11:03 pmWe are looking for more artwork to supplement these upgrades, including the following:
4 portraits (3 are variations of a character)
4 story screens (for The South Guard revision)
These are tentative needs that will probably increase as we progress further with these enhancements. The above are needed in a shorter time frame, with my goal being 3-4 months.
Just in case it needs saying: No AI-generated art. This continues to be an evolving situation, so if you used AI somewhere in your workflow, just be honest about it, we may still be able to work something out. But we do need to know upfront.

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
Absolutely, I echo the no AI-generated art for anyone interested in this. Frankensteining is okay if you have permission, but no AI.
doofus-01, I've added the sprites to the list above. Thanks for reminding me
Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
Generally it's just contact me about it. You can do it on discord or on the forums.Duke_Anax wrote: ↑April 19th, 2024, 9:57 pm I wasn't aware anyone was doing anything on mainline content at the moment.

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
Captain could be in the style of the sergeant lieutenant line but would prefer a custom cool design.
Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
There is also the possibility to recolor the armor of the image like in UtBS.
Try out the dark board theme.

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
I know we are cutting Minister Hylas from TSG, but wouldn't it be a better use of resources to have Minister Hylas take on the role of 'Captain Mari' rather than commission a brand new portrait and unit type when Minister Hylas already has an extremely high-quality portrait? It would also give his character more to do instead of just deleting him.

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
Or, failing that (and with the consent of the artist) could any unused mainline images (portraits, sprites etc.) be packaged up into an artwork add-on by some kind soul to save UMC authors digging around for artwork that is free to use and of high standard?Gweddeoran wrote: ↑April 29th, 2024, 3:46 pmI know we are cutting Minister Hylas from TSG, but wouldn't it be a better use of resources to have Minister Hylas take on the role of 'Captain Mari' rather than commission a brand new portrait and unit type when Minister Hylas already has an extremely high-quality portrait?

(And before you ask, I'll do it if no-one else will but I don't know the artists and am currently working through my own pile of "to do"s...)

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
I was talking about this with some of the other rework team and Hylas is someone who could reappear in HttT, so we would not be wasting his portrait.Gweddeoran wrote: ↑April 29th, 2024, 3:46 pm I know we are cutting Minister Hylas from TSG, but wouldn't it be a better use of resources to have Minister Hylas take on the role of 'Captain Mari' rather than commission a brand new portrait and unit type when Minister Hylas already has an extremely high-quality portrait?

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
Since I just pushed in core the Fire Wisp unit, I'd like to add a portrait for it to the list. At the moment I'm using the Fire Guardian portrait as a temporary one, so it isn't really urgent, but we should consider getting one.

Re: Call for mainline portraits and story art
I'm unsure if I should post here or not, but I have made a level 1 sprite for Jessene! I wanted to see if it was in the right direction before I start on higher levels and animation ... If it's utterly terrible, feel free to tell me lol If you want to see my work, go to viewtopic.php?p=689462#p689462 (this is rather underpopulated and full of some mediocre work, simply because I'm relatively new to the world of spriting). Anyways, without further ado, here are the sprites (one big to look at, and one small to test) Sorry if I wasn't supposed to post anything here, but I hope you like them Feel free to tell me what to change, and I'll edit the message to show the new one
EDIT: I fixed up the femininity on it, as people on the discord were soon to point out. New version is here: EDIT2: The saturation was too high, but i fixed that too. See orginal message to find it
EDIT3 : Still waiting for feedback . . .
