I'm currently working on tilesets and graphics in general. A lot of sets have unique creatures sprites in addition to their tilesets. In future, the Masterwork launcher that installs tilesets, will also install creature sprites for each set.

Unfortunately, that means that some mod-creatures that do not exist in vanilla DF, like the Orcs and the Succubi, do not have fitting sprites.

I hope some of the tileset authors will consider making a few sprites for them, or good pixel-artists that can copy the theme.

Tilesets in question are:
CLA - CLA gave permission and asked me to try my own hand on the sprites.
Ironhand (inactive as far as I know)
GemSet
DungeonSet
AutoRiev
Tergel
Taffer
Wanderlust
BurnedFX - Burned asked me to not include his set for reasons.
Spacefox (inactive as far as I know)

Creatures that would be useful would be:
Orc civ.
Succubi civ.
Domestic pets.
Procedual creatures (titans, forgotten beasts, demons)

Those are the ones that appear most often in the game.

The default tileset in the mod is Phoebus, near in style to Obsidian Souls set, so the creatures sprites work well with those two sets.

I appreciate the gesture to be included in Masterwork, but I am not interested in the burnedFX set being part of Masterwork or any other type of collaboration (various LNPs, etc). The set is for personal use only and is not part of the graphic repo for this reason.

Please do not include this set in your update.
Thank you for understanding.

While I am confused, of course I won't add them without your consent.

It's just that you made so many sprites, a complete set for everything, a unique art style, posted it on the forum for players to use it, and made comments like this one, clearly you want people to use your artwork.

I am happy you guys are enjoying them.

I read through your entire thread by now, also saw that someone already asked about Masterwork and the Starterpack, the two most played packs which would means the most exposure of your creation, and you turned both down. Confusing, as I said.

But dont worry, you don't need to explain yourself. I'll deinstall it and won't release anything without your content.

[burned]

I am happy that a niche group of people out of an already niche group of people enjoy the set, but I also see why it may be confusing to you and the others that have brought this up in the past. I'm not sure I'd be able to articulate the specifics without going into a long opinionated diatribe that only a few socially anxious people might understand. Suffice it to say, I'm not interested in "exposure" via the LNPs or Masterwork or the Graphics Repo and such.

Again, thank you Meph for acknowledging my request (even if it is confusing).
And, good luck with your endeavors.

Now is not the best of times for me, so here's my lousy first attempt on the orcs. I don't know what to do about the succubi yet. I'll revisit these in a few days when I'm less busy/stressed.


Proof that I tried a first pass at succubi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apologies: I'm not satisfied with these yet, but I presumed a first attempt and a promise to revisit them would be better than silence. If anybody else work on these, note that the resolution is only 10x10, just doubled: these have to scale down to 10x10 pixels, so working with 20x20 pixels just results in a mess when downscaled.

18x18 Orcs:


I know you didn't ask me, but I figured I'd give you some food for thought.
The tusks seem mandatory. The low brow gives them a bit more personality.
They deserve some wonky tribal helmets or something.

18x18 Succubi:


Not sure what defines a succubi. My best guess is try for fangs and do bat wings or some other kitsch.

ps. I'm also confused by burnedfx.

[Meph]

Succubi are lewd. Thats the defining characteristic.

Thanks raeborga, they look great and will fit some of the larger Ascii packs, and thanks Taffer, do I understood correctly that I should downscale them to 10x10? Or are these just an example?

[Taffer]

...and thanks Taffer, do I understood correctly that I should downscale them to 10x10? Or are these just an example?

The graphics in my pack are all 20x20, regardless of whether users are using a 10x10 or a 20x20. Nobody's complained or noticed yet. It saves folder space and installation complexity for me. DF does a far better job at downscaling 20x20 to 10x10 than upscaling 10x10 to 20x20.

I'll revisit this when I find the time.

Succubi are sexy demon ladies that flirt with men to entice them. A google image search for "succubi" or "succubus" should be enlightening.

[Meph]

A succubus is a red, female demon. Humanoid with wings and goat legs. Very attractive and scarcely clad.

Professions are the same as vanilla DF, only some nobles have changed. I didnt expect anyone to actually do a full sprite-set for them though.

The Spacefox set it's going to get dirty

2lewd4medude

Could maybe use bigger bre-heads?

Or not...

I know nothing.

[Tallcastle]

I would love to help! my head in currently in other endeavors at the moment, (ADD strikes again) however once my attention rolls back around to Dwarf Fortress i'll knock up a sprite set for both ricky tick.

Also... i haven't forgotten your "Ratmen" request, 48 sprites complete so far
(unfortunately that is 48 out of a planned 252 sprites over 6 sets, sorry man ... ADD)
