The Black Company

"Croaker spoke to assembled Company:

"In olden times the outfit consisted entirely of black soldiers. Thus the name. Its slow drift northward has seen not only its diminustion but a shift in its makeup. One-Eye is the only black man with us today.

We are the last of the Twelve True Companies. We have out-endured the others by more than a century, but I fear we're into our twilight days. I fear this may be the Company's final commission. A page of history is about to turn. Once it does, the great warrior brotherhoods will be gone and forgotten."

But Croaker was wrong..."
____________________________

The Campaign is based off of a Dark Miltary Fantasy Series called 'The Black Company' by Glen Cook.

The story revolves around a brotherhood of tough mercenaries who will do anything, may it be for good or evil as long as they get their pay. However, The Black Company eventually find themselves getting into a ever growing war that would decide the fate of the world.

Thats basically an a vague vague overview, there is far more too it.

Basically, so far we have only 2 people on this, including myself and we are looking for more to help. We are specifically looking for the ever so hard to find modelers or skins guys out there.

However, anybody thats interested may be able to help as well and job can vary on anything your best with, as long as we find you reliable. :D

If you have read the The Black Company , that is a major PLUS, and I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

What kind of skins would you need?

Interesting, well here is one you can go off of,

varien

That looks nearly perfect the way i want on one of my characters but its for Realm Designs.However where mine differs is that the Hair needs more of a brown tint to it, that goes for the eye brows too.The shave style is great too, id like that in the same way of that skin. If you can recreate black/gold plate armor also that be awesome. The lion symbol should be replaced by a skull. And finally the book that arthas carries needs to be put back in/left in. Ignore the sword that isn't a must, a regular sword would be fine if thats possible, if not, then frostmourne can work. So thats a specific one Id like. :)

Another thing that is really needed is a male HUMAN archer, I know there is quite of few male archer skins out there but all that I've seen I didn't like. So uh thats me being picky. ;)

Those are the most important.

Wow, I was not expecting that. Very kind of you! Hehe, its kindy funny, I'm going through the forums and happen to see your Logo, and I was like "wow, cool that would make a good look for Croaker." But I saw it was in use by your team, so I didn't want to bug you.

Anyways, it would be great if you could make it for me. I'll make sure to give you credit John Drake. Thanks!:ggani:

Always glad to help :D

I'll put it together tomorrow, though... A bit late today for skinning...

What colour would you like the eyes to be?
08-18-2003, 06:54 AM#8
BadThrall
The same as it is, green eyes.

Will this work for the character?
08-19-2003, 12:08 AM#10
BadThrall
Yes! Awesome! I like it!

No changes needed.

Here, I made a few changes... even though you said none were needed - just small ones, though.

I changed the colour of the cape strap to match the colour of his sleeves, and the colour of the pages in the book (the white ones just didn't match the new leather texture I put over the book cover.

One question before I send you the files and an example map: do you have TFT?

BadThrall
Yes, everything is well done. Thank you once again, the colors blend very nicely.

Yes, I have TFT too. BTW if you want, when the time comes and the campaign is finished or in testing (or earlier), Ill show you where to find it so you can see your skin in action, he is the main character in the campaign!
