Primergy

2D Art Sample

In general I would apply for the 2D award with something else than unit icons. For example for the main menu screen. Thanks to Alpaca and T.C. I was able to edit the UI - lua files, so I could add new elements like the letter, changing the colour of the font and move everything to the side to pronounce the background image. Other 2D work were more simple things like changing the grass textures to add new elements like corn and handmade battle flags. Some unit cards made by him: More can be found here.

Iutland


Iutland for an extensive update of the unit icon and preview images as well as a general update of La montée de l'Empire (LME) version 4 to give a more immersive French Revolution gameplay in the 1792 campaign setting.

2D Art Sample

The first image shows my Pre-Battle UI layout, which I remember was done using scripting in either .lua or .xml: The next one shows a mission for Britain in, which they must capture Naples. Scripted in .lua: The next three images shows new 2D event images, portraits as well as new campaign map flags:

Hi guys! To be fair, since Sabrebleu! did most of the portraits in Masters of Europe (I only added the thread), please disregard the generals if you consider voting for me, and look only at the units.
