Alternate original seven faction mod

I think the perspective's working the basic design is good, so choose good colors and light it carefully, and you've got something.  Drawing bases from scratch is a huge pain, and I've only done it a few times, but it is more rewarding to your creative ego.

Drawing them by hand is definitely not the easiest thing to do and I would definitely choose to get the bases from another source. However, in this case there are a very limited range of resources that bases could be taken from.

You just need to know where to look, certain games and other things you wouldn't even think about are great sources to rip graphics from. Of course, this process you have is as what BUncle said: It's more rewarding to make it from scratch.

Does anyone know some good colors for stone that are in the palette file? The colors that I have tried are either to earthy (have too much brown) or are too metallic.

[Buster's Uncle]

I know there's enough tones of gray.  Maybe put the colorful bits in the windows to suggest stained glass.

It really is; whether the considerable extra trouble you go to is justified is up to you.

So note to self and others, stay away from darker grays unless you want a metallic look. If you want a lighter stonish look go with a color like this!

[Buster's Uncle]

Go darker and less blue.  You should only get the metallic look when contrast is high - like if you left the white-ish lines white.  I'm guessing they should be nearly black against a medium gray base color.

I just discovered that three of the colors in the palette pcx file are identical. You can see it by looking at the color values for numbers 236, 237, and 238. That means we could add two new colors to rhe game without losing any functionality!!!!

Do you mean on the roof? I had not touched that yet...

Keeper size 1 base. What do you guys think?

[ariete]

If most people like the bases, then tomorrow I will get on coloring and shading them properly.

conclave bases looks great, as you say must be colored (to be more dark) and shaded PROPERLY (i'm sure you're able to do it)

[ariete]

I can't really tell what I'm looking at...

I see what you did because of the filename, though.

nice, i think correct level of colours contrast

[Dio]

New and improved keeper base size 1. I have so far gotten making trapezoids down to a fine art.

[Dio]

Do you think this base should be sized as 2 or 3? I designed it as a size 2 base and am wondering if it would fit better as a size three base? Also, here is a modified size 1 base. because I am  to continue.
