Age of Charlemagne General Unit Portraits

[Benjin]

Are you annoyed at how the general portraits don't match the style of the new unit icons in Age of Charlemagne? This will fix it for you.

Vanilla Portrait - Charlemagne



New Portrait - Charlemagne

I'm going to try and paint each and every general portrait for the factions in AoC. For the first version I will get the major faction starting leader portraits done and at least one alternative portrait for the other random generals. For the second version I will then do the campaign agents. In the final, later versions, I will make additional general portraits over time to increase the variety (that way everyone can play the mod with fitting general portrait art work sooner and then wait for the rest of the variations over time).

As you know, since there are almost a hundred different general portraits, doing every single one at once would take forever. I aim to do one every one or two days. Anyone who wishes to help me do them to get the mod out faster is more than welcome to join me in my endeavor. You will be credited + listed as a creator if you help contribute a portrait in the same style.

Thanks guys, I've changed my plan for the mod - I'll be doing the main leader portrait and just one other general variant for each major faction for the first release. It'd take ages for me to do every single one of the Frankish generals and then still not have any of the others done by then. I will also do the agents after that release as well, since their portraits don't match the style either. Every time I do a new general variation for whatever faction after release, I'll update the mod.

I'll be doing another one and posting it here some time today.

Nah, done in Photoshop. Here's an image of when the Charlemagne portrait was still WIP.

Wow, that's really good. It definitely fits the style, just needs a bit more shading and a bit of detail on the helmet and I think it'll be 100% perfect.

The general will replace this one - Frankish General #6 and Christian General #3 (vanilla portrait image below).


EDIT - Spoke to you on Steam and have added it to the list + created a credits list to people who contribute their help. Once it's uploaded on Steam Workshop, people credited will also be labelled as creators.

My last hand-in for this semester is on the 22nd. After that I will continue doing the rest.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this, and it won't be long until this is up and ready on the Steam workshop.

Awesome! Take your time, no need to feel any pressure at all.
