Define lately, because the art team still can't do perspective right on art and the teddy bears were pretty blah.
Virtuebane looks pretty sharp and scaled pretty nicely when zooming in and out, and that's pretty new artwork. I would have screenshots of VB but tonight I was focused more on not dying and recovering from client crashes. I don't think that qualifies as the high resolution artwork, but somebody clearly put a lot of time into him recently.
That codex is an embarrassment, plain and simple.The perspective UO was originally in is always going to be the "right one." It doesn't matter if it's wrong for isometric (which it is, but then UO isn't true isometric...)
Much of the newer item art seems tilted oddly compared to older items. (this is in both clients) The most obvious of these items are the unusable plant pots, and the poorly resized codex floor tiles. The new art needs to match the old art perspective-wise.
Ra'Dian can go on about this at length if someone pesters him...
Virtuebane and the house tiles mentioned in the OP.
Putting out a scant few items is nothing. And according to them, they somehow have more than one artist... Grimm often reminds us how he basically just pops things in the pipeline.
I smell a,
.Define 'best'.
The community guy hasn't posted since the end of January.
The scary thing is... We have two of them now... At least, allegedly. James Nichols and Rowland Cox.
Well they are doing an awesome job, I think.
I would guess rush around the last 1 hour of the 40.
best = last remaining artist on the team? He is/was a supervisor, but I think he only supervises himself
best = last remaining artist on the team? He is/was a supervisor, but I think he only supervises himself
He also plays/played on LS, which also makes him the best dev team member.
I really liked Virtuebane in the EC. Never got around to checking him out in the CC, but he was awesome in the EC.
The stuff from SA forward has been extremely hit or miss. Let's just take a look at the available and incomplete housing tile sets that include tiles that don't line up properly, tiles that don't work with the housing system very well, and stair cases that have improper colorations and outcroppings along various views.
Having been the sole programmer carrying the title "Senior Web Developer" as if there were actually any other developers on the team, I appreciate the irony of a one-man art team...
Somebody sent me a link to a picture of the two new house sets in Pub 70 and I really like this gothic one. Don't really care about the virtue banners or the rustic bench and new training dummy, but like the gothic house stuff.I did.
Now, now... to be fair, they did mention that they were working on graphical improvements for the EC.So? They just rebroke a bunch of EC clothing items...
