I much prefer pure ASCII for actual character sets, but I don't mind creature graphics if made to match with the ASCII stuff. For example, I have a set where humans are also little faces, but without beards, and I find that better than H.

Which set is that?

I like ASCII of some sort, without graphics. The only symbols I allow to change are beds and dwarves (since they aren't used for anything else). And walls, i like to make walls more smoothed or ,spikey :). Just look at last two years of pagebend in at map archive :)

 Is there a link to this set(s)?

Doppel likes the color Dark Blue, cats for their aloofness and girls for their silky soft brea beards.
He appreciates art and natural beauty.

Sphr's graphics set (There is a "director's cut" on the wiki) and Jackard's (Redjack) character set. "Natural" color scheme. I use Dwarf Foreman and Autohotkey. Custom Grid to your screen size. It looks and feels much better to play than the defaults.

Dystopia Rhetoric is my favorite, but I've modified it extensively to fill in gaps and errors.

This thread is a vote on favorite tile sets, MM and DR are clearly the winners

P.S.  I find it shameful that it took 3 posts before an even remotely helpful reply was given to the OP.

I personally like redjack's tileset. I find it to be close enough to ASCII that it's tolerable for me, but different enough that it isn't just a different font or what-not.
