I wish to know if there's any packs out there adding unique "graphics" to the major races like the smiley faces dwarves have (In the regular ASCII, in case you're confused).
I have tried to search, but found nothing.

I saw a guy who had made some in another thread, but he wasn't releasing it until the next version

Help would, of course, be much appreciated

Well, I've "just" made a few tiles I am using in my wasteland mod (kinda like fallout, but more fantasy-ish)

Villager, Native, Ghoul, Mutant (looks like goblin for me), droid, junker (robot), giant dragonfly, ant
dog, cat, bull, lizard/dragon, bird, spider, scorpion, bug
monkey, octopus, three-eyed guy (strangler)

Some of them may be useful for custom races.

The dog looks like how I see kobolds, and I though the mutant WAS a goblin :p
Looks nice though

Yeah I think straight ears for a doog would be good. Also a lizard head would be more understandable from the side. I'll work on it.

P.S. Then you can use the "dog" as the kobold and the "mutant" as the goblin

Here it is, I changed graphics for the dog and the lizard (dinosaur-like), removed lame "bird" which looked liks some mushroom and replaced it with Gecko head. Also I've added a different "bird" to the end. Can work for bird-men.

Huh, I never thought of graphics modding in that regard. I'll have to remember to see if I can whip up anything like that for my upcoming mod. Shouldn't be too hard, all of the major races will be humanoid except the penguins.

Ooh, I'll actually be able to set alternate sprites for the military, too! This'll be fun.

I hate to be the begging newbie who contributes nothing...but how do you do this?

the best way to not be the begging newbie is with generous use of the wiki and forum search function
