PS: Sorry for absence of actual ingame screenshots. The screenshot function don't work for me.

 

YESSSSS

 

Fantastic job. Definitely some of the best sprite work we've seen in KAG reskins.

 

I'm with Contrary. Those really look complementary to the rest of the game, and really smooth!

Also, you might want to PM (Conversations are what they're called here, I believe) somebody if you've got specific things you wanna show.

P.S. I could do it :D

 

Ooooohh O_O Me likey alot! Orcs need to be smacked up to quality with this sprite pack damnit!

 

Good work! Brings us back to the good old days where men were men, and pigs were gold :D.

 

Only problem i have with this is that the vikings poke with their axe.

 

Yep, that last sprite is for the sword thrust. So I have tried to make it looking bit like a slash (the axe has some perspective deformation in this sprite). If anyone got a better and executeable idea, I'm willing to try.

 

Those are vikings, vikings are f***n awesome. This sprite pack is Awesome.

 

Look in the first post for link to file with archers. They have wolf jaw on their heads!

 

I have to say i dont like dwarfes that much, but this Archer... such an unique and nice idea! Very nice stuff!

You earned a like!

 

Archer's head is getting om nom'd by a wolf, hah!
Anyways, i must ask, is it better to black bold the sprites or should it be darker consecutive colors that should be darkened and used for the sprite bolding?

 

It depends on the part where you will use it. I'm using darker shades as a sprite bolding in the places where I can't do too much with in example 3x3 pixels square. But sometimes it doesn't go well like the wolf head ears. They look quite good on the picture but ingame they looked kinda awkward so I had to remake them. The version in a package is a bit different from the sample picture.

 

Imma need more pics xD

 

Just played with this, awesome work.

Was also thinking this danish flag might be of interest to you:



Ravens were symbols of Odin, and while this particular flag design was of the Danes you could easily switch the symbol to that of the other Norse peoples, such as Norwegians.

For example this is a Norse dragon design:

You COULD also switch the tent for a traditional Viking Long-house, might be a bit of work but you would only have to do the entrance! This would give you a chance to put shields and flags on it and such as these:

 

So how is the progress on the rest of the pack going, has anything been done yet?

 

I haven't touch anything yet. I have some ideas to do and pixels to fix but I'm at some kind of art block.

+I have new skin WIP but not yet unpublished.

 

Here is one little spinoff I have created to have some rest from the Vikings, a little surprise:

Madness?
