In the meantime, could you please (if possible) put up the sprites/graphics in this thread so that I can get a look at them?

This should happen in two-three weeks. That's how long I have to work on this, and it's kind-of schoolwork.

I haven't started working on the sprites yet, besides planning stages. I made notes of what I should do. Here are some of the more difficult things that I might not be able to portray properly:

I might recolor horses slightly, and/or give Spellsingers reddish fire-horses. I'll try to model spellsingers after Joukahainen's description (a sky-blue shirt, light armor and helmet, golden sword, fiery horse, etc).

I'll try to make Väinämöinen look more iconic, hopefully like something from a Gallen-Kallela painting. This one will be hard.

I can post some of the reworked descriptions tomorrow when I get back to them. Väinämöinen got a much-needed description update already.

I'm very,very intrested in this project, but my other projects have eaten up my SP time, so I haven't had a chance to play yet.

May I be as bold as to suggest using the same pose as the guy in my avatar? Just replace the staff with a sword and the stone tablet with the bony kantele. Then it's just about adding chainmail, pants, recoloring and beard.

The new spellslinger sounds like a toughie. Recoloring a horse is easy, but the color scheme has all the makings of a catasrophe. Skyblue with flaming red and gold? IMHO, not very aesthetic color combination. Perhaps if you used very dark blue..

If you feel overwhelmed, I could help you out with some sprite work (if you're okay with that). I'm feeling kinda down because I've finished all the art in Holy War and it's all just about boring code-writing now.

If you need a project to work on, I know someone who could use a ram sprite
