Because I fail at graphics...
« on: November 16, 2009, 10:59:50 pm »

I'm still working on my mod/overhaul for Dwarf Fortress.  Over the past few days I've taken a break from writing raws (and trying to get the language generator aps to work) in favor of graphics. 
Sadly, this is where I've determined that I'm lacking in skill, as evidenced by my rather...  well, lacking efforts below.
The ASCII tileset I made
The miserable dwarf sprites I'm working on presently
Given that I really want to provide a unique set of visuals for my mod pack, that there are no 13x13 graphics options that I personally could use, and that I can't sprite my way out of a paper bag, what are the chances of finding someone to help me?

You should be able to use any size tile. Version 40d## uses png format. I don't know what's your exact problem is, so sorry if it doesn't solve your problem.

Those sprites somehow remind me Civilization 1 units. :)

Now that you mention it, they DO look a lot like Civ1 units.  It's the fact that the perspective is at a 90 degree angle to the dwarf.
Still don't know if these are good enough that anyone would bother to use them.
Though the lack of response seems to suggest 'no'.

They are nice and simple, but I am a bit used to "front" view already :).
