[calsash]

you have made the pikemens ?

The pikemen already have a photo from the movie as they are in the films so I didn't feel there was a need too, also I was thinking maybe you should move the post too showcase as we already have the post with our images in in Discussion and feedback?

Hi,
they all look great, but if you compare them with our  artworks, you'll notice that they have a completely different style. Please always make them similar to our style, or we can't integrate them. It's always vexing, if the styles are completely different, which is why we have started to standardize them a long time ago.

Do you know where I would be able to find the already implemented Palantir pictures without having to go in game?

[Gnomi]

Extract them from our files by using finalbig.^^

If you do it up to my men of Carn dum and do the archer and swordsmen i will do the spearman and the others?

[calsash]

Ah crap I cant download the file :/ anyone know why?

[lord_ellessar]

i'll try then

[Fredius]

Click on "advanced" and then they will ask you to proceed anyway. Just proceed, it is not a virus.

[calsash]

Also Ellessar I updated the Shadowguard earlier to make him look less fat and dwarf like

[lord_ellessar]

[calsash]

is it better :/

I dont actually know if that's right or wrong

[CragLord]

Great work guys!!! 
I really like these new dwarven portraits. Also that new one for Araphant is very nice and I really like it!

PS. If I may suggest new one, I would say that maybe Lothlorien's pikeman need new unique portrait.

Regards,
CragLord

[kingsjewel]

So, finally I've made these ring hero avatars.

[Secret Keeper]

This second picture of Thorin is amazing 

[kingsjewel]

This second picture of Thorin is amazing 

Thank you!  I thought it was too dark that's why I made a second avatar too. The original picture also was dark, but I thought it would be a good ring hero avatar for Thorin.

[kingsjewel]

What do the Team think about these pics? Are these usable?
