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?

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

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

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.
