I'm going to have to add a vote against Deon's female dwarves as well.  Those are the first thing I've seen in this visualizer that would make it an absolute no-go for me to use Stonesense if they were included.  At the very least lose the lipstick.

Well another problem is that they are comical to the point where you question their ability to fulfill their duties (and there is a hint of fetishism). They also sharply contrast the dwarves and create gender inequality in a situation where they are exactly the same for the most part.

They don't seem to hold anything and their arms look immobile.

Now your knit picking.

Ok people generally don't like Deons female sprites but thats going to far. Do you think he would really do something like that?

Wait you mean Fetishism? I would have thought it would be subconscious rather then intentional (hense the hint)

As for Knit Picking I prefer calling it being Critical. I usually stop myself from doing so but I guess I forgot to close the floodgates.

Not sure if I should appologise or leave it

I vaguely remember Deon stating something about how he deeply enjoys very large-breasted women, so I guess it's intentional.
Anyway, from an artistic point of view I really enjoy them Deon. I believe colour choices are improving. It's just that I wouldn't enjoy seeing those sprites in my game :P

Do you mean the "hint of fetishism" part?  That's a pretty apt description of Deon's style, I don't think he'd even object to the label.  See the picture below:

On the Contrary I meant it

I just usually have enough sense to censor myself.

Or wait you meant in the other way didn't you?

That's pretty awesome, and I definitely think Gimp Fortress should be a mod.  However, I don't think they should be the default.  ;)

Also, what the hell is up with her chin?  I don't think I've ever seen a manlier chin, even on a man.

TRANSLATION OF WHAT I SAID EARLIER!

When I nitpicked Deon's creations I meant every word of it.

I just usually have enough sense not to say these things for a variety of reasons (For example it didn't take that long for someone to attack my oppinion outside the basis of whether or not it was true)

Unless you meant "Didn't mean it" as in I didn't mean to post it as a whole.

@KillHour = No, the manlyist chin is owned by CHUCK NORRIS!

@Neoniverk = I think I understand you. You meant what you said but people kinda burst out from time to time. Looking at my post I guess I didn't make that very clear lol sorry = P

I actually like the dwarfs that are already in the game.


They seem simple, and get the point across. D:

Specific points that come to mind: colouration in the Humans vs. Dwarves: the dwarf's clothes use significantly fewer colours than a human equivalent.  The eye styles are also different (this is probably the most glaring of the errors).

Well, those dwarves are actually much older than the ones I have updated to try and fit in better with 7c Nickles style - I guess since I spoilered all my updates you must've missed them (or chose not to read entirety of over-long thread, which is perfectly understandable) so here's the latest ones posted again:

Spoiler: Updated Dwarves (click to show/hide)
I changed the eyes and upped the number of colors from 2 to 5.
I'll try and get an image that shows them side by side - they don't have exactly the same style, but I could try and make a few that fit more closely to his style to see how they look.

I have to agree with the majority about Deon's lady dwarves.  Several look like they wouldn't exactly be safe for work.  Enter the lady dungeon master as an example.
