OK: I just finished up a first draft of the succubus/incubus (though they're lacking children at this point - I may do something more in the vein of the normal human child with horns for that). Let me know what you think, and I can make changes as desired:

Incubus/Succubus (WARNING: Mildly NSFW, given the pixel nudity.)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(P.S. This post also marks the point at which I've wised up and started removing the backgrounds from the actual-sized sprites. It should spare you guys a little extra work when you integrate them into your mods/games.)

Hey, Nixy (mind if I calls you that?) would you mind making these two for me, pretty please?

A Shade, simply a shadowy humanoid with a cloak of darkness and a Wight, an undead warrior with a steel sword grafted onto one arm?

great job, though!

I just realized two things. 1. For the Win and F___ the World have the same initials. 2. They have the same meaning in Dwarf Fortress.

It's been a while, but I'm back! I finished an Orc set for Valience a couple days ago, but I didn't want to post it until I heard back from him. He gave me the A-okay, though, so here they are:

Orcs
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They're equipped with spears, pikes (though I admit that it looks more like a halberd), bows, hammers, axes, swords, and whips. The two orcs on the bottom row are the chief and his elite bodyguards, respectively.

Hey, Nixy (mind if I calls you that?) would you mind making these two for me, pretty please?

A Shade, simply a shadowy humanoid with a cloak of darkness and a Wight, an undead warrior with a steel sword grafted onto one arm?

I'm sorry for the late response but I'll see what I can do. I've been working on the Wight on-and-off for a couple days, but it's not coming to form as well as I'd hoped. Expect a draft within a day or so.

Hey, Nix, how do you add transparency to your stuff? I never knew how to do that... :V

Well, what I do is open it up in Paint.net (Photoshop or GIMP will also work perfectly well) and select the background colour using the magic wand tool. Then, once I have it all selected, I delete it. That leaves no colour where there isn't sprite, which in PNG format translates into transparency.

I believe there's an even easier way to do it in Photoshop and GIMP (where you can simply delete a whole colour rather than selecting colours based on tolerance and adjacency), but that I wouldn't really know about.

Woah, that's awesome.

Hehe, all I need to do is learn how to configure the RAWs!

Thanks again!

EDIT: Hey, when you make the Shades, do you mind giving them a bronze mask on their faces? It's part of the RAWS for it to drop a high-quality bronze mask, y'see.
