    Default 2D Art Service

    Since I am a big fan of the Sig Service thread and our own TATW signature request thread I thought it would be a good idea to offer my services for those interested in some custom 2D material for their mods or for personal use.

    This is mainly intended for the creators of sub mods that don't have much experience with the 2D elements of the game. Modders can come here and request things like portraits and event pictures for their mods and I will make and release it already packed and ready to be included in their release.

    I will also be taking requests from regular users, so if you want a scene from the movies to appear in your game as an event picture or you wish to have a custom portrait of yourself or a character from the movies in your game, just ask.

    - Small requests will be more easily completed
    - I will list the requests in this post and when completed I will turn their color to green.

    Request list:
    -lore ancillaries
    -princess portraits

    To get things started here is some material I did for other sub mods:

    UNIQUE BUILDINGS

    FARAMIR & BOROMIR



    GANDALF



    To install unpack it to your modded TATW folder.

    Yeaha
    Uhm first!

    To be extended

    I can use photoshop to edit photos and pictures and stuff like that, but editing sketches filling them with life is definitly beyond my skill!
    I would realy appreciate it, if you might get a go on the two attached sketches and fill them with some life, hence they might fit better to the other ancs.
    If you need better pics, let me know

    Number two and number three
    I would not like to use the crest of Feanor for the purpose the star of Feanor is used even though it looks cool
    Number three fits perfect to the other crests of the houses
    Ah and btw, what you did to the crest of Feanor is realy nice, never thought about making it appear plasticly with that shadow, looks like an idea for all the crest ancs

    Are you the only one allowed to do 2D stuff in this thread or may others try their luck, too?

    Everyone is welcomed to give it a try, eventually I plan to do some tutorials to help people out.

    Everyone can also give feedback or post images they think might help with the requests.

    It's the layer effect Bevel and Emboss, along with Drop Shadow it's one of the most overused photoshop effects, clearest example being the Google logo.

    I made a more suitable gandalf portrait, for those interested I'm making it available, just extract the attached file into your medieval II total war folder.

    The princess portraits were kind of put on hold because I got really caught up doing building icons, but I'll be doing them and any additional requests like this ent house building icon axnsan requested for his ent faction sub mod:
