Aesthetic Changes for the Dwarves

[Gandalf The Gray]

everything is awesome yea i kinda sound like that

I have to say, I also like this new horn picture. I don't think you can't use different pictures but still it would be a very nice optical change. (We wouldn't even loose the current symbol, as it is already used for other spells.)

PS: I will probably read some other of your ideas later and comment on them, too. Not today however.

Edit 1: Now, I read the suggestions from page 7-10. I don't know what else to say about them, they are really nice and just an improvement so I like it. On the other hand, most of them seem to be included already, so I don't really know what else to say.

Thank you very much.
I am glad you like it.

Any support and opinion is welcome.
Also some suggestions are welcome here if they are in rank of minor changes.

P.S. It is pretty big topic so far so take your time.
I hope it will be much bigger and useful in future.

Kind Regards

Hello there,

First of all Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Similary to my latest Grimbeorn's buttons  set proposal, I have also checked and made some buttons for Beorn's palantir set.
Concerning to current look of Human and bear form of Beorn in game, I have found some of buttons as inappropriate ones.
As Beorn have been described as big bad Black bear in bear form,  I have found mainly buttons correlated to bear form as not good ones, mainly in color terms.

So, currently in game for Beorn's bear form we have this button:



And it is again button which doesn't correspond to black bear. This current button is perfect for brown ordinary Beorninger form, but not for Black bear's one. So, I propose this one for Beorn's bear form:

Beorn's Bear form palantir button

Button 65x65

Also not only color matching is here good, this is also uniqe button look for hero, which is differenent then a button of Beoringer's bear form.


Similar to previous one, Deadly bite button doesn't fit in color way to Beorn.
Current button look in game:



I wanted to point that maybe uniqe buttons are needed for Beorn. So I suggest button which is different from Grimbeorn's one not only in color, but in general look:

Beorn's Deadly Bite palantir button

Button 65x65

This button fits in color terms and also in ability description terms, and it is unique (different from Grimbeorn's one). So, I think it presents good choice for implementation.


Rest of graphic about Beorn is pretty much unique, so I presume these two buttons also should be.

So, what do you think about this suggestion?
Please share you opinions and feedback!

Best regards,
CragLord

Very beautiful work.
Except one thing: to be completely honest, I don't like at all Grimbeorn's human form palantir button. :/
I'd rather keep the current palantir button for both Grimbeorn and Beorn.

[CragLord]

Thanks for kind words guys!
I am glad you like and support my mini proposal.
I hope I have chosen from graphical point of view good template for buttons.
Some graphical feedback is welcomed from that aspect.

@Adrigabbro
Personally I find current Human form button totally out of place for Grimbeorn. I think it is obvious why. I think that one I have proposed is better simply because it is very similar to current Grimbeorn look in game (to be honest, I have posted these proposals mainly because consistency problems, not because I didn't like look of current buttons  ). I have also tried to make some button from screenshot from game, but it didn't work for me. If someone more exprienced manage to create one from some of game textures that would be great, I also tried to use some textures from dds files, but couldn't make anything good. Simply I haven't so much experience for now.
At the end I think that button I have proposed isn't so good, but I think it is decent for this usage. Also when it is scaled on size 65x65 pixels.
Thanks for feedback Adrigabbro and your honest opinion&kind words, I am glad to read them! 
All of us have different taste for different things in general.

Kind regards,
CragLord

Few more images which could  in my opinion also suit well for buttons of Beorn's abilities:

Beorn's Bear form palantir button

Button 64x64

Beorn's Deadly Bite palantir button

Button 64x64

Version II

What do you think about this?
