That's because Nival ripped off Warhammer instead of D'n'D. 
It would be nice to see Mind Flayers in Heroes...

Indeed in Salvatore`s universe lizard riders are more likely … and indeed in H5 .. it was a bit out of place but if the reptile climbs the walls should be more on the side of a gecko or chameleon than a predator like the raptor,
This a example not of a real gecko but the colors should fit right in with the theme (and look cool)

Also I have looked over the New Grove Town and the unit called Spider Queen should help you nail down the Drider look or you could check out this picture

To Vlaad indeed you hit the spot with the pictures a bit to similar … but I wouldn`t call it ripping off as the mythos and the basics are commonly used by different artist , and on this topic I could say that WoW ripped of Warhammer universe , and Warhammer ripped of Tolkien which ripped of Scandinavia/and northern mythology but all have borrowed the design and made it there own.
Also I understand that you will use Walshares as a army leaders can`t wait and I still would loved to see the 7 level creature as a (maybe presenting the Shadow witch from H5 was a bad example) Mother Matriarch / Elder Matriarch unit as as spell caster/archer type unit (low hit point some average dmg. magic would by mass prayer or something like that, helps keeping the divine magic from there goddess idea).
Still just my obsession … but maybe this would help
 
 
Any way this are some pictures for inspiration and on a side note maybe you know this site if not you should check it out, I found tons of grate pictures usable as portraits or source of inspiration ...

Any way keep up the good work.

No need to defend the H5 Dungeon - it is made up of Warhammer ripoffs, even Ubisoft's development team has acknowledged this a few times.

Cepheus if they admitted it than that`s that … guess they lacked the will to put in some effort in coming up with they’re one take on the faction … but we’re going off topic so back on the Dark elf theme for H3, and that would be the first draft for the drow city … fist of all looks good , maybe you should pan out so you could create buildings that would look further or closer because right now would look all to crammed in, my bee some leveling upper layer lower layer …. I don’t know a close plateau with tavern and market place than a curving road going in further to the rest of the buildings and the city.
I found a picture for reference I hope it`s useful
Kay that`s about it. Later

The problem is that his models are too good for Heroes low resolution. That spider will look crap in a def. Should send them to Bethesda or such.

i don't know, possibly? i want to reach this vladud2000, he has 2 very cool things i am interested in. although, since his last post was in aug of 2012, i don't know if i'll be able to reach him... he is still active, as both "maestro" and "vladud2000" elsewhere on the internet, so maybe.
i don't suppose you would know how to reliably contact him?

In Celestial Heavens, he has a MM8 mod ongoing, plus address/home page as signature. Or Df2 russian forums for heroes, although he spends now most of his time for MM8 modding.

thanks, i noticed his penchant for might and magic(a series i know nothing about).
one thing i found out, sal, is if an object is "too good" for heroes, it can be sharpened, then blurred, then resharpened again, to get the correct effect for h3. this kind of thing works with all kinds of graphics. with 3d stuff, you only need to sharpen things until it has the grainier, pixelated look. for instance, if you sharpen my townscreen(+ the objects) for my Fear Faction a little bit, it blends better with the current h3 townscreens.

Maestro is a profesional, student in graphics, not a fan-noob as you or me. When you create manually graphics from scratch and with 8000$ tools, you won't choose to delete details later because the game doesn't allow. Instead you will choose a better game to permit them, hence his MM8 mod.

i'm just saying, you can alter any graphics to fit into the h3 game. the "smoother" something is, the more you have to sharpen it, as it is just blurred(read: blended better), and still contained in a shape with borders. it's more difficult to do with 3d objects, but it is far from impossible. i have put once 3d objects(with high poly counts) into the game, after "dumbing-down" the graphics. the result looks just fine. you could also use the "pixellate" tool in ps(something i only discovered recently, but so what)

I believe that a Dark Elf town in Heroes III should remain loyal to the Might&Magic Dark Elves, with Silver Hair and Blood-red Skin.
They are a society mainly of Merchants, Sorcerers and Politicians, not Assassins, while their soldiers are heavily armored and wield greatswords.
Their spells focus on darkness and illusion, they are Dark in the sense of Skin and Element, but, like humans, they can be good or evil, although Dark Elves from Might&Magic can be described as somehow greedy in terms of money.
Their Creatures would be:
1)Rats and Rat-men
2)Dark Dwarves(MM ones with Crossbow)
3)Dark Elven Soldiers(MM ones with Two-Handed Swords)
4)Horrors(MM ones)
5)Trolls w. Upgrades(Upgrade is MM def with Ram Head Club)
6)Dark Elven Hierophant(Spellcaster)
7)Crystal Dragons

Actually Dark Elves in Jadame weren't evil, and I doubt they'd join forces with monsters like horrors, or evil guys like dark dwarves and rat-men.
Not to mention Maestro vision was about Drows, not M&M Dark Elves as it's explained in the OP...
