It is a nice start but before it is good enough to be put into the game you have to fix a few things:

1. You have to improve the shading (light direction: south-west-up)
2. We do not use pure black outlines. Use a dark tone of the color you are outlining instead.
3. The shape of the helmet should be a bit rounder
4. I would suggest to improve the texture of the "brush" part.

You are also missing the east-facing direction. Due to the light source, that direction does need to be done.

The death-frame is missing the top of the plume. If you need to move that bit to the left a little to make space in image frame, then changing the .xml file will be able to move it back to the correct place.

I like this concept. I'd like to see the various military styles linked to civilizations in the backstory (but that's mostly for the story creators).

The lighting looks correct IMO. the red thing can still use some better texture. (especially the front and back view)

Very promising, welcome aboard.

As mentioned, slight tweaks and it's just about ready to go. Not perfect, but getting good enough.

You might want to use the [TAGS] we have set up here in the GFX section so we can keep track of what you do and your stuff gets into the game faster.

Please put the tag first.

The texture of the flume in the front/back frames needs some work.
