A Slann eh? They seem like they're going to be one of the trickier sprites. But ok, probably a 5th gen Slann next.

I work largely from scratch and I don't resize miniatures or pictures or anything like that. However I do sometimes use dom3 basegame sprites as a template and I always do the graphics while looking at pictures of miniatures/artwork from the army book. After all I'm making a warhammer mod so I want the sprites to be recognisable.

Couple of examples. The Saurus warrior was done while looking at 3 photos of saurus miniatures and one piece of artwork from the army book. I also used the dom3 ctisian slave warrior as a template, though if you compared them side by side now you'd probably be hard pressed to see evidence of that. When I do any graphic I try to look at various dom3 basegame sprites and sprites I've previously made to work out size and pose and so on too.
