I mean the warriors pretty much scream chest protectors. Any reason you made them mostly all female?
The same reason all dwarven and goblin sprites are male. Because

We all know pretty elf chicks are preferable if we have to be around elves.

Now don't dwarves like them for their stature? :Þ

Now back to drawing kilts!

You send me your set a while ago, because of the TWBT options. Here an example I made for your levers.

the -bg file:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
As you see, the areas that are supposed to be transparent, are also transparent on this file. It only has one color, white, and it's only used to tell the game where to apply background color. This is mostly used for contaminants, like blood or water on the item. In this case it's the entire lever, and none of the background.

the -top file:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The top file applies the color as-is ingame, and it can never change. No matter what. Never use a full sprite in a top-file for items, because if you mark them "forbidden" or "dumping" or any other status ingame that usually adds color to the sprite, it wouldn't... the sprite would never change.

In this case I added the green/red dots on the top of the levers, so that no matter what material the lever is made off, the green/red will always stay.

It's great for constructions though, to blend walls/floors of different color together more nicely.

Hope that helps a bit.

PTW, I absolutely love these!  <3

I suggest using kilokittens. As cats are 10X the volume of kittens. That way, 50 cats would be .5 kilokittens.

100 cats would be 1 kilokitten.

Re: Vettlingr's Graphics Pack 32x v1.4. - HUMANS!

UPDATE 1.4!

HUMANS!

Really outdid myself on this one, believe it or not, form making half a thousand sprites, you improve quite a bit. So in addition to the new human sprites, which are slick, I also went back to update some of the older dwarven sprites, mostly military.

Spoiler: New Humans (click to show/hide)

As you can see, Most, if not all, of the military sprites have been overhauled.

Now I would like to know whether you prefer your Master military darves to be gilded gold or just grey.

gilded to me would be too gaudy for a military dwarf, a fortress guard absolutely. I lean towards a trim of some sort, helmet plumage, something like that.

I like these. Tilted shoulders give the humans a giantish quality, which they should have from a dwarven perspective. Good set.

@thetj: I agree with you. Right now, Master dwarves are in grey full plate with intricate, yet not gilded helmets. Though there is no way to assign any other sprites, the more elaborately decorated dwarves are reserved for future graphical implementations. But it is possible to pick and choose manually out of preference.

@xordae: What takes the longest time by far is the pose. Since it has to convey size while being limited to a 32x32 box. I could just do false divulging of my secrets by rabid generalisation and say it has to do with very high boots.

@Ph.D.Banana: thaynk yu!

If anyone have any screenshots of my sprites from ingame. I would love to see some posted here.

That being said, Ill also take the opportunity to post a screencap and sneak peek of the upcoming tileset.

I really love everything about it, I'm extremely eager to see your set, using meph, while very good has inconsistencies like dead dwarves etc, and transparency problems that I can't seem to remedy on my own.
