Tsardoms Total War - Suggestions (Ingame Concept Art)

[Bagatyr]

should i be afraid??

well if you make something anti-bulgarian

[Wallachian]

An image with a lot of stakes and people impaled on them would be cool Either with Vlad Tepes watching or alternatively with the Turkish army arriving and watching in horror.

Firstly, Spyros, please make this thread stickied since I think it's one of the most important in the section.

Secondly, I might need some help with the following: One of the drawings will feature knyaz Lazar for sure, but I am bit confused with the scene. Well, I have some things in minds, but I would like to hear your ideas too.

ok thinkerman. you're back, so, here is the dimensions of loading screen: 1024*403
you can increase height if you want, if you need space, but make one constant resolution

my first suggestion (as a serb ) is battle of kosovo. i already told you my idea, so:
something like this. instead lazar should be praying towards altar. he should be on left side, with his velmoze kneeling in front of the altar and priest. altar and priest should be on right side. also, light coming from right side from the window, if you can do it

[Thinkerman]

thanks, great Idea, for know I have something else in mind but will see

Hey what about a coronation of a tsar?

we make too much paintings connected with the ottomans , after all the mod is tsardoms not turkish invasion ... we should made more things connected with christian states

[Thinkerman]

Well, I have already started working, so lets see my to-do-list(for now):

Some kind of unatached to any faction drawning, just to test my abilities

Knyaz Lazar Hrebeljanović

Constantine II Asen

Fall of Constantinople

Vlad the Impaler(he'll be really impaling )

"Phyrric victory"

The list is in no particular order.

[Tureuki]

Just for remind, what do you think about them


What about something like this ?(except that two soldiers)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Other suggests

1) A soldier(An Azap maybe) near of the camp fire playing an instrument like this and other soldiers listening him.

2) A Marching army would be good too.

3) A single fight between a Turkish horse Archer and a Serbian Knight.

4) And of course Siege of Constantinople.

[Thinkerman]

The sitting sultan will most probably appear as a drawing

As for the instrument- I am not sure, we will see. Are you sure that it existed in 14th-15th century?

Armies will appear in some drawings.

Serbian vitez versus turkish horsearcher- mm I think- no.

The siege of Constantinople is on my to-do list.

[Tureuki]

Yes similar instruments was used, its the another popular instrument its used too

Serbian vitez versus turkish horsearcher- mm I think- no.

Of course you're the man who will decide on that matters but just wondered why ?

[Thinkerman]

Well, It's not just because I don't want to do it. I will try to capture the period on the Balkans, so for now I have much more important tasks on my to do list.

Don't worry, the turks will be presented in enough ways.

[Tureuki]

"Çöğür" instrument mentioned in many old sources include Safavid sources which says Bards encouraged warriors with Çöğürs, in some Anatolian local dialects Çöğür word still in use instead of Baglama, the oldest example for Çöğür is that 19th century one from Azerbaijan

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

whatever, there is two main instrument style with different varieties

This

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And this

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Just use one of the that styles

[Thinkerman]

Well, guys, this is the first piece. It's not connected with any faction specifically- It shows a group of horsemen(any Balkan- bulgarian, serbian, wallachian etc) riding near a fortress, which is inspired by a some real balkan fortresses:



I hope you like it.

P.S. This is not the final piece, all of the ingame art will be colored.

[phoenix[illusion]]

just playing with the image, it's not final game loading screen! (maybe it'll be whole new design)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[il_duce_!]

no colours please.

[Tureuki]

Yes looks like good without color, but may be it would be better with the color ? I think at least we should see the colored version.

[alien_t]

Amazing +rep!

[NikeBG]

Great! Too bad I can't rep you again so soon.
