Two headed giant. Every head has a distinctive personality and control a single arm (the one on its side).
I've edited a couple of images and melded them together

Here is a first result (i have to add shading and some details)

The unit in game should be a heavy hitter with a double attack

i suggest more shading or something the body parts look flat i think.

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:30 pm**

Which part mostly?

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 4:13 pm**

I reworked the arms a bit and increased the contrast between the parts in shadow and those in light
it should have a more "3d" look now

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 4:25 pm**

That looks a lot better! Though in my opinion the feet look a tiny bit strange. A bit like he's walking on his claws

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 4:42 pm**

I might try to add some perspective.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:04 pm**

here two possible solutions

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:32 pm**

The first one looks a lot better!

THE SHADY SHADING MAN : patroid

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:52 pm**

The real slim shading man

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:53 pm**

I can't see any difference..... are you sure you have not posted the same image again?

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 5:03 pm**

The shadows on the legs are fairly stronger and the tip of the club is different

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 7:42 pm**

Ah! Ok, I can sort of see it now

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 2:32 pm**

Daniel what you think abou this unit?

The ettin is a classic fantasy creature, it is a pretty common one.

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 5:39 pm**

Ok! Please json it! Thanks!

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:28 pm**

Perfect!

Is that ok Daniel?

Posted: **Thu Nov 05, 2015 9:26 pm**

thanks for trying!

- there were many format errors, and was copied text into the middle of the same text.
- also you have deleted ] characters - dont do such that will ruin the format.
- also UNIT_ORC_BUILDING_VOLCANO is the name of the volcano type
- u did not set race
- also please try it in json formatter and that will tell you the format problems that u may have accidentally do.

(i am working on it)

...

ok it is in, io have removed him from the TC

i see that the image is not good in team coloring, would u fix it? thanks!

Posted: **Thu Nov 05, 2015 11:02 pm**

here

Btw, can't we make another building that allow us to train these units? Right now orcs strenght is too dependant on the chance to build a volcano. In maps where you are short on space you really loos most of your strongest options.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 8:37 am**

ok, we can have a cave or something (maybe what can be built on hills only? (although that would decrease the usability on some maps)
and in cave can have the big troll, and ettin produced.
we would need a good image for the "cave-mountain".

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 8:40 am**

I'll make one now, i think there is no need to make it buildableon ills only, like the volcano that you can build anywhere you have space. On the other hand i would make it buildable on forest (after all is a simple cave).

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:11 am**

What about that?

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:14 am**

i like my idea having carved cave and a assembled cave separately

image: it is 2Dish, we need one that looks 3D - maybe start from the 1x1 tile mountain image and "carve" a cave into it.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:15 am**

ok, i've just edited a cave i've found right now

i didn't want to exceed the 32x32 limit to save slots

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:45 am**

slots?
no, it can exceed 32px upwards if u want no problem.

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:52 am**

do you like that?
