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.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
