Some help with a faction set

[Sigma]

Not sure what you mean since I put scanlines in the portraits, logos and diplomacy image. Maybe they're a little hard to make out?

[Buster's Uncle]

They are, and my eyesight going doesn't help, so never mind.  I can make out traces when I lean in and squint.  I'd have sworn that the .png format didn't used to distort the image so much...

I exported the pcx to png using 0 compression but there's still some quality loss.

[Kilkakon]

Strange, there shouldn't be with PNG. :| Ah well at least we can see what's happening there.

What do you guys think about these bases? I cropped them from a screenshot from Anno 2070.

[Geo]

More side-buildings the bigger the bases become? 

[Buster's Uncle]

I think they're hella-smart looking.  They also have the virtue of growing the way real buildings do, not simply scaling up like the official factions.

That's because I modified them in reverse! I started with the Size 4 base and erased components down to size 1, while also gradually reducing their size as well.

[Buster's Uncle]

Smart.

I don't think it's something the player notices or cares, mind, and that the Firaxis way is entirely acceptable - but attention to details like that certainly impresses me.  You've probably already found that it's a little annoying to see another artist do sloppy work, so this is good.

I was aiming for kind of an Art Deco look with these buildings, and I think I got pretty close to that actually. I've attached the original screenshot so you can see how freaking difficult isolating this structure was. I am apparently a masochist.

[Geo]

I don't think I ever build that building in Anno 2070...
I do see it's from the Green faction.

Which is kind of ironic given that I gave it to the faction of self-centered industrialists.

Oh, there must be some entrepeneurs with an eye for architectural beauty.
