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. Ex-developer, ex-tech-journalist, now an artist and a cat mom of 6.

Hi Eugenia, your images look really great and i want to thank you very much for your work!
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! Ex-developer, ex-tech-journalist, now an artist and a cat mom of 6.

Ok, I uploaded the first draft of the final frisian campaign. Please have a look at the campaign: https://codeberg.org/eugenia/widelands-paintings/src/branch/main/frisian-campaign The *-512.xcf are higher res versions of the 128x256 portraits as used by the game, for future usage in case you want to go higher res in the future. The loading-screen.jpg is just that, a loading screen. Please let me know if you want such loading screens on that style, otherwise to only focus on portraits. Please provide feedback on the portrait backgrounds etc. Ex-developer, ex-tech-journalist, now an artist and a cat mom of 6.
