[Deon]

Are you still working on this?
Because I liked the way you painted them.

[Talvara]

Ive been pretty bussy with other stuff. (job grmbls) But Id still like to finish these. Anyway. thanks to you ill go and add another basic job or two!



Yes. Its seposed to be a cat. and yes... the elf to

[LumenPlacidum]

the cat hats are just amazing.

[Deon]

They look more like beavers. Beautiful though.

[Untelligent]

You still haven't fixed the Kobold eyes, though.

Also, as these mini-screenshots from Slaves of Armok 1 can testify, Toady's kobolds are brown, goblins are grey.

Kobold:


Goblin:


Aside from that, very amazing work you've done there.

[Tiler]

For military units;

Have them face the opposite direction, and from there you can either have them wielding the appropriate weapon or just have them color-coded, or both.

But having them look the other way makes identifying them at a glance a lot easier.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

It looks like they are wearing sun glasses in the zoomed out images. Maybe make the eyebrows a tiny bit smaller.

One other thing: aren't kobolds supposed to be sentient lizards. Thus they do not need large ears or hair. Think small argonian from TES.

[Deon]

Why do you think they are lizards?

usually invisible, a kobold can materialise in the form of an animal, fire, a human being, and a mundane object. The most common depictions of kobolds show them as humanlike figures the size of small children. Kobolds who live in human homes wear the clothing of peasants; those who live in mines are hunched and ugly; and kobolds who live on ships smoke pipes and wear sailor clothing.

The lizard-like kobolds are DnD version and in no way are related to the usual german "kobold" meaning.

[Areyar]

OOo!
These are pretty.

Please continue.

I guess they are trappers, or maybe they're animal handlers/trainers who somehow trained a fox to sit on their heads?

[Talvara]

I havent updated in a long long time, and im afraid ill just be able to do it sporadicly at best...

I've made all the basic things now... no sub professions, no nobles, no traders/thieves/slaves etc, and no military yet. I hope it isnt to hard to diferntiate between the different professions

the reason I havent changed the kobold eyes is that yellow just doesnt look right ... (its a tolight of a colour and it doesnt stand off enough from the whiteish fur I have picked for the kobolds) (I see my kobolds as more doglike than lizardlike)

I also dont see that much point in making the style of clothes very different in between the races. mostly because it will be rare to see multiple races doing the same profession on the same screen. having widely different clothing schemes would only confuse in my modest opinion. for military, traders and nobility id probably reconsider tough!



as stated before... there is some "squintage" going on, espesially at 1x zoom. Is it possible to make DF display graphics at 2x?

[Erom]

No, you would have to zoom it manually in a paint program pre-DF.

[Boksi]

If this is set to YES, the tiles will not be stretched, but rather the game view will be centralized, surrounded by black space.  Tiles that are too large will always be compressed rather than running off the screen.

[BLACK_SPACE:NO]

[Areyar]

How about darkblue-ish kobolds?

I would make the yellow eyes stand out and they would be inherently harder to spot when skulking about.
 
Love the art by the way, reminds me a bit of Settlers I.

[Im_Sparks]

HOLY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
It's... It's beautiful ;_;

I love you forever and ever.

[Footkerchief]

I think you should put some lighter pixels between the eyes -- a lot of them look like they're wearing headbands or something.
