Nope. Not only would cloaks not be practical thief-wear (they get snagged on things and knock things over), but they are a major pain in the ass to model.

 

 

(Though I do love the look of cloaks in general.)

THat's another great piece. Reminds me a little of my NB pirate with the one piece mask and hood. Do you paint these digitally or the old fashioned way?

Cloaks are not hard to model, it's just animating them or a game engine that's the pain in the ass, especially for a game like this with all sorts of sneaking. crouching. mantling, and climbing.

I do all my art digitally now, except for the occasional landscape piece in oil just for fun.

 

You know, I can't think of a 3d game that has characters with cloaks in it. Anyone know one?

well these are all 3rd-person games and it was nice to look at. but where're making a total 1st-person stealth game, so I think a cloak is really unnecessary.

 

anyway I think that springheel is right - it be would rather unpractical for a thief wearing a cloak. Imagine you're chased by a bunch of guards and suddenly your dead cool, black cloak is stuck into the door :lol:

:lol: The guards pause to admire it...giving you time to free yourself and escape!

I think the cloak is not for the on-the-job outfit - too impractical.

 

But I think it has it's place in cutsceans. He would wear it to be inconspicuous when amongst other people. Don't you think he'd attract too much attention in that get-up he wears when on the job?

Granted. I think he would, as well as in the rain or other cold environments. Plus it makes figures MUCH easier to draw when they're wearing cloaks, as you can hide all the annoying details like limbs and stuff. ;)

 

For these pics I want to showcase as much of our character as possible. :)

      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.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
