[Graphics] Norse Dwarves - 16px Dwarf Sprites
« on: November 24, 2014, 01:46:26 am »

Way back when, I whipped up a tileset for Grim Portent's Norse Fortress mod.  I personally used these sprites for dwarves for ages, and decided I needed to get off my bum and share them for anyone who would like to use/adapt/whatever with them.

Here is the tile sheet for these "Norse Dwarves".  Shortened, increased contrast, and a few other alterations.

Big credits to Phoebus and Mayday, from whom I drew much inspiration in preparing these sprites.

Here are concepts for some of the other races.  Goblin, Elf, and Kobold.  Still working the Human design.

Feel free to use these however you want and for whatever you like.  Cheers!

I think it is awesome how the smiths carry anvils with them wherever they go :D

These look terrific.

I've been using your awesome Dorf Noggins with Spacefox for the last few weeks. These are a beefy upgrade! Thanks!!

Thanks Rogue Yun, I appreciate the compliment  :D

Kaiji, I had no idea anyone had been using those old dorf noggins sprites!  I'm tickled to hear that you had been playing with them.  I hope the new sprites suite you well   :)


I'm working on fleshing out the rest of the standard races.  I'm also working on a full tileset, 20px.  Though maybe I should do 24px.  There seems to have been some interest for an HD spritely tileset.

I don't think my opinion is worth much, but I would say the third hippie over from the left looks like his head is facing in the right direction. Or at least it seems consistent with your other tiles.

Wide face (#3) is definitely the best. I love that sassy hip!

Wow, thanks for the input folks.  I agree completely.

Here is the Tree-huggin' hippie I will go with.

  or    or    or    or 

Jaunty vs. Down-arm vs. Straight-arm  vs. Out-arm  vs. Long-arm???

I can't see too much difference in them. Maybe #4 looks like he has the most natural arm position but this is where I think it will be mostly up to you. But #1 reminds me of the pelvic thrust taunt from Unreal Tournament >.<

Jaunty, imo. Possibly Down-arm, depending on which looks better with an item in their hand.
