New City Watch Sketch


Springheel

Recommended Posts

I decided to update the look of the city guards a bit. Added some leather and metal studs. I'll be taking this sketch and doing a full colour illustration with it, but wanted to post this here for reference.

I think you should make the coif, arms and legs chainmail though, and the hat is a little broad there, he almost looks oriental.

These guys obviously wouldn't be BJable, what with that big helm.

It's the same helmet as this picture...maybe slightly larger, but not intentionally so.

I had alrady something inspired by the City Guard helmets modeled up for nightblade guards. It has a bit more shape to it I think, but I could add the rivets and abit of detail.

also I'm not sure we should so blatantly copy the 'spread eagle' city watch insignia frm T3.

 

Well, other than the fact that it's a spread eagle, it doesn't look much like the T3 version. There are dozens of different cultures that used a similar insignia, so it's not like it's copyright or anything.

Still, the guards in T1/2 had NO insignia, as far as I know, so if someone wants to come up with something better, be my guest.

 

The helmet on your model above is very similar to the one I had in mind for professional guards, so maybe we can save it for that.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
