Wouldnt it make most sense not to make a unique sprite for each, but a spriteset with icons for all professions, and the copy+paste all creatures into those? It would be better than nothing, and so much less work.

You just make an icon for all professions, once. And use it as a template to add to the creatures.

For me, the tile is the icon. If I came up with a "Hammerman" icon, I might as well draw him holding a hammer. Especially since I'm working with a 12x12 pixel canvas. I'd also want to avoid mystery meat navigational icons, so to speak.

I begrudgingly ignored that last thought with a few of the giant animals I use and it still irks me.

Doren: Did you write that because you just did a ton of work, or because some creatures dont fit into the template?

burned: Agreed, especially on 12x12. I always end up thinking about GemSet with 24x or 48x.

I mean there is a ton of work to fit them all.

And of course i've just copypasted them, just to estimate how many tiles there will be

To be fair, a number of those won't actually show up in vanilla because they're [AQUATIC]. Don't let me discourage you though, they're merely [AMPHIBIOUS] in the Modest Mod

That's an impressive start, Doren! Obviously plenty need adjustment, but a lot of the soldiers look ready to go. (What weapon is that between Pikemen and Bowmen?)

[Meph]

Has to be the Blowgun.

On the subject of tiles, the total amount of tiles in one sheet cannot exceed 1024.

I thought it was worth repeating so others wouldn't find out the hard way.

On other hand copypasting isn't that bad. It speeds up work significantly after all.
