Artistic school can learn you how to use artistic tools (e.g. Photoshop), but can't learn you how to draw. The only way to do so is to try.

Yeah and I know how to use photoshop. It makes doing the things I can do very easily. But if you can't draw you cant. Check out the siege screens for the Covenant, it was my only attempt at drawing, and it was only like 25% drawn and 75% picture. Still pretty terrible. I'll just play to my strengths

TBH you could look for more options in Photoshop. It's not that hard to do and it doesn't need a lot of work.
Also, every skill can be leveled up.

It is easy to change all the buildings,but hard to make the own models such as walls and towns on the big map.
Who can provide some models for me?
Now,this is the H4-Style Conflux Town.
I have not completed all the buildings.

What are the creatures gonna be? I guess you wont convert them directly from H4 too since unicorn, elf and griffin contradict with other H3 towns.

Just Print Screen.You must adjust the resolution(800x600).
Some of buildings are animated,so you can print several times and make it into DEF.
As Kegolo said,just save as 800*374 bitmaps with a pure cyan [255 255 0] background.

I have downloaded lots of DEFs in Creaturearchive and Wogarchive and choose them now.
Maybe a Nature town will be suitable.
I can also design it like Lord of the Rings.
Hobbit,Hippogryph,Treant and Druid maybe join this town.
Magic eyes(a creature has an eye and a pair of wings) and Nightmares will join it too.

Don't you think Nightmare is a little too evil and dark for nature theme?

Bear, Wolf , White Tiger... anything that is a beast but not evil. I dont know what the already prepared Defs are, all links I've found are dead. So I don't now what material you have.

IMO, the hornets would make nice level 1 or 2 creatures, the lion with the hammer in Mega pack is good, also the cavalry archer under knights would be good. the hawks in the pack named "12" fits the nature theme too.

making a "natural animal" town is on my list of things to do. i'd love to see someone else do it tho, as my list is 73 ideas long... i'm rooting for you all the way, Karen!

second that! all natural animals, nothing evil. snakes, bears, wolves, tigers, lions, panthers, bees, hawks even. you could make a grizzly, then, kodiac bear as the highest upgrade! i'd LOVE to see a natural animal town.
oh yeah, if you need material, i have some if it's no longer available online. the animals, i mean. not all, but most.
