A random interjection; Why do your dwarves look like merfolk?

General slackness on my behalf. That, and fitting beards into an 8x8 grid is somewhat of a challenge.

Welcome to the Forums! Looks like a great set you've got there, especially those walls! Here's a secret; black is allways black, so for your barrels, adding a black border helps them look more rounded. The same is true with cages.

Thanks  I'll give your advice a try. I should also note that the water animates  I was quite proud when I got that functioning.

Really? How'd you pull that off?

Basically there are two water tiles, and on each I drew out a tilde (~) twice, on the upper and lower parts of the tile, each at different offsets.
To represent this I'll use numbers (1 to 9) to represent the drawn pixels, "-" to represent non drawn pixels (eg, the pink transparencies) and "|" to represent the edge of the tile.
So rather than |-123-|, I would do |23--1| so that the pixels span from one edge to the next. When the tiles are drawn next to one another the sequence is still completed.
On each tile I have this sequence twice eg:
|23--1|
|3--12|
And given that there are two tiles to represent water I could just do the same thing, but with a variance on the first eg:
|3--12|
|23--1|
In this way as the water animation plays in game, and the sequence between the two tiles is shuffled, and the animation plays through.
Hopefully this makes sense, please feel free to harass me if a reitteration is required
