I totally agree on the backgrounds with @Nordfriese.
atlanteans background in first mission (see li k in my previous postalready use a bit of watercolour looks imho. If possible the image of each mission should signify a bit of the storyline. therefore I always felt uncomfortable with using the same background for atlantean mission 2.
so looking forward to your paintings.

Not sure about Claus Lembeck.

I agree, it's the least favorite of my paintings so far, but for a different reason, I didn't like that leather jacket I made for him... haha. I wonder if I can remove the shield and the axe in gimp, and then you can reuse that character for something else in the future. I will redraw Claus this afternoon.

Regarding the backgrounds, for now I will reuse the same colors for each tribe, and we can change them in the future if that doesn't work. That's why I made the portraits without a bg, so we can decide later.

Claus updated, please provide feedback. I have a bit of trouble depicting someone who's both Danish and Frisian and Roman at the same time, haha. face-grin.png

Hi Eugenia,

Thank you very much. Very nice pictures.

CC-BY 4.0 is fully GPL compatible according to both Creative Commons and the FSF.

Although the licenses might be be "fully compatible" i think the license CC-BY 4.0 must be mentioned somewhere in a manner that it is clear that Eugenia is the Artist who made the pictures. Similar to what we have for the music. If Eugenia is ok with mentioning her name and license in a text file somewhere in the code basis, and of course in the list of devlopers (here without license info).

Thank you!

No need for extra files for me, just put it under GPL if it's simpler. Just added on the list of the devs is enough for me, thx!
