Hello people,
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
I have prepared a small presentation of palantir buttons for you today.
This is cosmetic topc, so I have prepared cosmetic changes for Grimbeorn palanir button set.
First of all, I think that current button set is good, but it is not correlated in consistency terms with current look of Grimbeorn in game. Because of that I have tried to create new set which corresponds to Grimbeorn better in my opinion.
As Grimbeorn have been presented as "gray" oriented in color of bear and hair, I found some buttons a bit out of place.
Let's take a look of current of Human and bear form:
So, I will start from first button, it is button for Human form/Bear form. Currently Grimbeorn is using these two buttons for this palantir slot:
First, bear form look isn't correlated to Grimbeorn's bear form. Current one fits to Beoringer bear form in color terms. Second, Human form button also isn't correlated to Grimbeorn at all. It is Beorn human form button. So, I have prepared next buttons for this palanitir slot,
For Bear form I have prepared this one:
Grimbeorn's Bear form palantir button |
Button 65x65 |
This look corresponds to gray haired bear form of Grimbeorn. I tried to find some "fierce" bear look simply because "Grimbeorn" means "Fierce bear".
For human form I have prepared next one:
Grimbeorn's Human form palantir button |
Button 65x65 |
I really find's current human form button out of place. It is correlated to Beorn's game look. Grimbeorn as unique hero and character deserves new one which is more correlated to his current look. I have tried to use some shotcuts from game, but sadly I couldn't create good button. I think this proposed one is decent, and it corresponds in color term very nicely to current game look. There is gray color of beard and hair as brown color of tunic which Grimbeorn wear in game currently.
Now, to take a look on Deadly Bite button in game:
Again, I found a color dismatch here. Button is really good, but Grimbeorn is gray bear not brown one.
So I have just tried to improve that.
For Deadly Bite button I have prepared this one:
Grimbeorn's Deadly Bite palantir button |
Button 65x65 |
And for the last button, War Cry one.
Currently in game this button is same for Grimbeorn and Beorn. Current one is this:
No matter how much epic is that german chief from Gladiator movie
, I really find this picture is color terms a bit out of place for "Gray" Grimbeorn.
So I have tried to find some picture which is similar to current one, but more corresponding in color terms. I think I have found a good one, which correpsonds to Grimbeorns better in color terms:
Grimbeorn's Battle Cry palantir button |
Button 65x65 |
This picture is more correlated to Old Fierce Grimbeorn then a current one. They are similar, but first one because of Black color and beard is more correlated to Beorn's lore description. This button maybe looks a bit different then Grimbeorn in game currently, but I think it fits nicely to nature of ability which is battle cry, and beside that it fit in color term nicely to Grimbeorn description.
Concerning palantir portrait and selective button, I have found them really unique and cool, so I haven't change them. Maybe some minor change which could be applied to them is to make bear side more gray in color. Simply small consistency change.
Now, I also checked some Beorn's palantir buttons, and I have found some buttons which should be changed according to my opinion. I posted that proposal to my Dwarven minor cosmetic topic where it belongs:
LinkI hope you will find this proposal of mine interesting and reasonable.
What do you think about this?
Please share your opinions and suggestions about impovements.
Best regards,
