Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

...it's easy and relatively simple to do, provided you use the appropriate tools! It's like hammering a nail – you can use a screwdriver and/or pliers, a drill, etc., but it's better and more effective to do it with a hammer!

As far as I understand, my method doesn't differ from the proposed one at all – it's essentially an enlarged copy of the image, colored black, and placed under the image. The problem is that this method is ideal for regular shapes, but if you enlarge a complex shape, there will be mismatches between the image and its enlarged copy, which is used to create the outline.

it's a matter of habit and taste whether to use several files or layers!

I use one file but several layers (5-6 on average are needed for work). Why create multiple files when you can do everything in one workspace? But this is really a matter of habit/taste - perhaps the outline should be increased, especially on the left, where it turned out too thin.

So, basically, that's how it is – I finished with the icons, and now I'll start drawing the heroes – I have a few unfinished ones that have been lying around for weeks.

Well done! Now, I suggest we start with the heroines from Heroes 7; there are already three: Irbeth, Kifrah, and Erin (only the lizard texture needs to be finished)!

P.S. The fish-like face belongs to Osiro – everyone knows his story and connection to the Dungeon. There is a Naga hero model in the "Sanctuary" mod – the models are of good quality, taken from Heroes 6, but they still need some work because there is no flag. Here is a screenshot of one of the Naga heroes (there are other models in that mod).

The Dungeon needs to fix Ilay, Tralsay, and Railag – campaign heroes always have the same flag, regardless of their affiliation; in addition, Tralsay has a problem with the effect when casting (there is no purple effect).
The heroines from Heroes 7 will not have an icon that matches the model because they have shoulder pads and a different hairstyle; if the hairstyle is not important, then the shoulder pads will probably be noticeable. I will try to recolor them as I have the option.

Here's Yeshtar! :smile13:

Yeshtar looks completely different here – maybe we took them from different sources...

I take them from the resources of Heroes 5, but I process them! ;)

By the way, Irbet will have an icon from Heroes 5, but without the hooked nose, and her skin color will not have a purple tint - because the hair should not blend with the face!

I agree - for example, I had to get creative with Veligg's icon for the same reason - in the original, he is all one color. But I think there is no point in changing the icons of heroes that already exist in Heroes 5.
