Wow, this topic recieved some posts while I was gone, the Karador artwork is really really great! An idea that just came into my mind: Crage is no Demon, the Agreal model is used because he wears armours, because he is a Dark Elven warrior. So maybe you can make the portrait where he holds his helmet and where you can see his face, if you don't do it it's fine with me, since I haven't thought of what he looks like.

Funnily enough, I was actually planning to do that, cause otherwise he would look just like Agrael, which wouldn't be cool.
edit:
Oh and you guys should see my handpainted version of Karador, it's still wet but it looks cool!
And another edit! It's dry, I've scanned it in and mailed it to Daystar, and I hope he'll be able to upload soon enough, cause I want your opinions and if thins should be changed, and that kind of stuff!

I'm glad you guys like it!
Any wishes about changes or ideas on what I should do with Crage?
I will try some things myself, but I'd love some help with how he should look!
Oh, and I'm a HE

Gods almighty, that is probably the best work of art in this entire thread! Very, very, very (etc.) well done! If we just increase the contrast around the face, it should be perfect for the game! Spectactular work!
With Crage, I would consider following Kronos' suggestion and removing the helmet. I think he should look a little like Raelag, but less 'cool' and more proud, like a true clan leader should.
Once again, great job!
EDIT: I downloaded your picture and tweaked it a little to make it look slightly more Heroes V (not that there was anything wrong with it anyway). Here's how it would look with a higher contrast.

I have another question: Isn't it possible to recruit some more help for this mod, cause at the moment there are maybe 5 people working on it, and it is quite some work, we need more voice actors, and stuff like that...

Though I'm not in charge, as far as I'm concerned anyone that wants to join us is welcome to. Kronos covers mapmaking and scripting, EliteKill and Daystar handle voices and textures, and I cover the script and other textures. You are the portraits master. We'd welcome, and indeed we need, anyone we can get to perform voices and make some scattered graphics. But we can't force anyone to join us.

Well what Cepheus says is true, this project is open and anyone who wants to help can join the team! Especially voice actors they are really needed.
And you forget that I also do some texturing and I allready asked CrazyPill to make an exe for me.
Edit: I forgot, does someone know how to make a transparent background? Heroes 5 Portraits have that so they can take over the background of the colour the player plays.

Oh yes, sorry Kronos! I can't believe I forgot about your amazing Karador. I'm afraid I don't know how to fix portraits, as you can see with my Cerulean Firebird's portraits I had the very same problem. I'd try consulting the creators of CH's Legends of the Ancients campaign. They successfully added some whole new portraits to the game.

make the transparent parts black, save as (TGA?) and then convert to DDS. I think. Yeah, consult legends team.

Well, I really like this project - it's active, what else is there to say? -, and I would love to help out, but I'm no good at scripting or phot-editing, and I'm only a beginning mapper...
I'd volunteer for voice actor, but my headset's broken for a couple of months now...
So, I'm not a great help.
I do have some remarks on your script, but well, I guess it's a final version, so I won't start complaining about details.
P.S: Incredible how many Dutch people play Heroes 5. I rarely find any on other games.

Tenk, do you have a video camera? If you video yourself saying the lines, then you can extract the sound, or just email me the videos and I will do it.

Hmmm...Good idea...But this might also be a good occasion to buy a new - durable - headset. (I shall stay anonymous! )
If I buy one, I'll post it here.
But, what role should I do?
P.S: The main problem with the camera is that mine's got bad sound quality, so it wouldn't sound very great...I'd probably qualify for a 1000-year old bird, though. My camera's got the same age.

Well, I think Karador, Crage, and the Celestial Dragon are done, so Findan? Just talk like John Inman and you'll be fine.

@Daystar: There are more free roles, for Karador I haven't heard from EliteKill if he accepts the role.
@Tenaka: Great the more Voice Actors the better, just give me a scream when you have a new headset. (Don't forget to say wich role you'll do )
Update:
I finished scripting the first map So that makes it done once I tested it! You know what I'll release a preview today or tomorrow wich contains the first Map, enjoy it!

Yeehaw! Can't wait to play it! I'm guessing there won't be voices yet, though, right?
P.S. Sorry for the bad impression of John Wayne.

There is an introduction scene that tells the legend of the Ancient One, I've done the voice for that with tons of effects to make it sound mysterious...
Edit: TrikingManiak sent me his Crage picture I uploaded it here.
I must say it's really really good! He's the greatest artist ever!

By Escaton, it's just as wonderful, if not more! Phenomenal work again, Triking Maniak! I especially like the fact that you didn't try to make him all young and arrogant, but went for an elder-style Crage.
