I'd say a bit darker skin and the armor even more dark.. I like it dark

I know I'm getting the habit of using a bit largish sprites myself.. but the size of the orcs.. is that the right height? I'd say orcs need to be about human size and it seems a bit smallish. (I admit the orcs I'm using for dom 3000 are huge and giant like though)

Better? I messed with the colours a little, but tried not to overdo it.

I compared them to a few human sprites and I think they're pretty ok now. They're a little taller and a fair bit bulkier, with slightly different skeletal proportions.

Thanks, but please ask first. :P

I'd make it darker and the attacksprite spear seems strange on the tip, the other one looks nice, I'd use that head on the attack sprite too.

Eh, I don't want to go overboard with the darkess, black orcs are coming later. As for the spear - I'm afraid I can't just rotate the pixels to form the exact same shape at a different angle, that's the best approximation I could come up with. I'm not 100% happy with it myself, though, so maybe I'll tinker with it some more once I have most of the sprites done.

Heh, I figured as much, I guess I should have used a instead of a :P.

I'm mucking about with the goblin now, but it looks like it's going to end up looking pretty different. We'll see when it's finished.

You could try making a shadow a few pixels wide on the gray hide to the right of the green leg to make the leg stand out more. Just a detail, but a detail I think would look nice. Perhaps the same on the hide beneath the shield and behind the butt of the rider.

I tried doing that, actually, but it ended up just making the area look like a nondescript dark smudge, instead of being recognizable as actual shading. I'll probably get back to it later, see if I can't figure out a way to do it properly.

I based him partly off Sombre's gnoblar, but there's been a fair bit of tweaking, so you can certainly tell he's a different breed. In all, he's a fair bit bigger than the old one, not to mention much meaner-looking and a lot less cheerful.

I'm generally quite happy with him. He's a vicious little bastard, and I'm especially pleased that I managed to fit a decent-looking Bad Moon onto his little shield.
