Max "Shade" Fellwalker is an artist I do like. She contributed to a shareware game called "Realmz" a long time ago. Among her contributions was this mob:

just in case it brings you extra nice ideas :D

The attitudes are so nice and break game uniformity! I'd like to use the smith for Heathin (ring, terranite Armor....) in Tulim...

Nice work, but it could be good to add some shading on the head (like on the head from the playerset) and a better texture for the right leg, as it looks too flat right now.

I did not know it. :( It looks damned good too! Now I am embarrassed :P

Reidy, I agree with you. A good friend of mine contributed to make it better ( see below) :) Also I agree with him that there are other weird things: A smith would never hammer a piece of metal while sitting XD, nor use a so big mace. His right shoulder and arm seems over dimensioned to me and I could not make it better with colors and relief. Also I tried to keep Korcha's style as much as possible, and not introduce too much anti aliasing, simply because I like it. I tried to put it onto a map, and it looks quite good. The style difference with chars is no more important than some other NPCs.

I removed some off-topic posts. This is not the place to talk either about how I moderate the forum nor about fundamental discussions regarding licensing.

no it wasnt within the perspective guidelines... it was 2 much a front view.. :P
If you're only going to make one pyramid it doesn't really need to be tileable in the traditional sense (if you're not going to reuse it why worry about it). Also while I'm aware we don't need this pyramid to be to scale with the real world, it would be nice if a megalithic structure known for its size was at least somewhat reflected in game. Your also missing out on a lot of creative opportunities by having it at such a small scale, for instance we could have a few blocks that fell off it (or weren't used in its construction) halfway buried in the sand throughout the map. Lastly its color is a little too much like the sand, it doesn't really stand out all that much.

There will be more than one pyramid for different quests. The pyramids with the missing blocks would be interesting to use for decoration for the setting or quests as well. Problem is we need artists who are willing to help create those things.

Merging in my old proposal: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14902&start=45

Could be one of the temples... I would like to work on this too

I wouldn't mind getting back into this project as well. Things have been so hecktic i haven't had the chance to work on it. Blue prints are still being made and it would be nice to have a few new desert monsters too or the snake lord to be finished for the temple XD

regards,
Chicka

found these again a few minutes ago they are concepts, not at correct perspective, but a good start maybe for related fringe.
I made these about same time I did tut mask

Aeli suggested mummies as a monster. I guess here would be a good place for them. Any thoughts?

Some WIP stuff for a desert temple. It is not explicitly egyptian because I feel that wouldn't fit in. Also I'm too lazy to look for references to make it look proper. But anyways I'm just posting this so I don't forget.
