I gave unit drawing a shot.. Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I've never created any civ2-graphics before, but it would be a lie to say that I've never done any pixel art, in fact, I do such things pretty often. And today, after playing Civ2 since 1999, I gave unit making a shot.

I present to you.. Die Panzerkampfwaugen I (PzKw I)! I assure you that this is no remake of another persons work. The panzer was made totally from scratch.

The only reason I posted it here was that I wanted to know if it's good or bad, and if I should continue making units or if I should give up immediately. So, post a comment or two please. Anyway, here it is, but I think that I can improve a little more than its current state. But that will be a later task, I gotta do some garden work now.

Thanks guys! Your approvals are indeed encouraging Well, I could try a footunit, but I guess that's a little harder than a tank.

I'll have a look at your ships :P Thanks by the way.

Now there's two of them.



Don't worry, I'll put them in the units thread soon. :P Unit making is quite funny I think I'll do the whole PzKpfw series. Feel free to use them (like anyone would ).

I downloaded the Pz I and Pz II graphics and pasted them into a scen so I could view them on a game map.

They both look super but I much prefer the lighter palette and greater contrast used on the Pz I. Although the Pz II has fantastic detail when the icon is blown up, much of the detail is lost when it is viewed on a game map.

I reckon some lighter pixels along leading edges of the tank (as in the Jim Panse style) will make the detail work!

Hey!
