Re: Venexia, the most serene republic

With a slight recolouring of the wings to make them more recognisable the only problem with the second one would be that it doesn't look holy. If you're trying to draw a halo, keep it either a really clear and simple floating gold/white hoop with some shading, or do a brilliant 'awe' style aura around the head using extremely bright white/yellow (keep in mind that if you try to make this fade to black to look good on a black background, it will look rubbish ingame).

You could also give him glowing eyes. Colour the eyes a very bright colour then take a round brush shape with the same colour and drop a series of 10 opacity circles, each smaller than the last, centred on the eye. You can see this effect with one of my slann graphics in the Lizardmen thread.

At your level I would suggest just doing a simple halo and recolouring the wings of #2.

For a example of this type of effect, see the preview pic for my Holy War mod. There is a guy in a white robe at bottom middle with this type of "glowing halo". The trick is to put the whitest pixels in the centre, moving to more yellowish shades at the outer circles of the halo.

I know that white fur would make him look holy but in all the rapresentation it's a brown lion with an "aureola".

I recolored the wings, but i think i'll finish it as last unit

Re: Venexia, the most serene republic

Isn't an aureola supposed to surround the entire body?

Re: Venexia, the most serene republic

In italian sacred art the aureola is only on the head

Re: Venexia, the most serene republic

The common English term for that would be a halo.

Not to be confused with an areola, which is confined to another part of the body entirely.
