Thank you very much for the help, fixed now.

also FYI there is no attack animation in CoM when unit use range attack. only melee trigger the 4th frame.

Jezus F CHRIST this goblins were tons of work already. And on top of that you dont mirror the sprites?!!

Oh darn, I thought that maybe the attack animation was used when a ranged attack was launched. Oh well.

As long as I remember not to I won't mirror them. With monsters that matters lees as it is only a matter of lighting, but with humanoid units that changes what hands their weapons are in.

Thanks for making this animated collage of them, I can see a couple of other errors and artifacts thanks to it. Like the spider rider has a couple. But I'll get around to fixing them when I have more time too.

WingsofMemory proposed units looks very nice with extra pixel thickness

but im bit worry if they would look good in game, as squads of 6x dudes

You might be right, thanks for the heads up! Maybe I can shrink them and slim them down a bit? I worry about making them too bobbleheaded lol. But making the head even a pixel smaller will remove a ton of detail, so that will also probably not look too great.

I'll have to think about it and work on it more.

But right now I have too much IRL things to do any more modding.

i just test your variant in game. They fit very nice in squads !!

Colors get lost in indexed pallet a bit (in game - not in your mockup: red eye is too exhibit, skin tone get white, and looks like they have shirts or are painted white), but its something you will easily sorted.

There is too much outline - armpit is a black hole. around back of head you see 1 brown pixel inside black box. also left hand is enclosed in black outline.

What should these units are, Lagi?

Nice, thank you very much. I can fix stuff like that. They are still in the prototyping stage. I'm a bit more worried about if the human units fit, since it's no worry if the big-bad beastmen are a little big, since they are the strongest basic unit type.

   

Also been thinking of redesigning some other units that could use an art upgrade in my opinion.

If you look at earlier posts you can see my prototypes for redesign the normal race units.

[Suppanut]

ah, I see. They are goatmen.

this colors are much closer, but its still not MoM palette. And i absolutly dont complain, just saying. If im drawing something I also don't respect palette, and then change to the nearest colours in Aseprite (who have times to paint like renaissance artists)

Not sure if caster of magic can load all colours? And im just bitching.

you absolutely definitely need to have his ear fully outlined?

Also jezus this looks sweet!! Would you accept a little monetary contribution for your effort?

Master of Magic in Dosbox will have to be run through the correct palette.

Caster of Magic for Windows allows every colour that your display (modern displays are like thousands of colours instead of 256 right?) as far as I am aware.

Normally I actually like to try use the correct palette for something like this. I probably should just to make sure that the colours are more in line with what they should be. Again, I don't have a whole lotta time to mess around with modding right. I am behind 4 irl paintings, and I've lost a lot of strength, so I need to try and regain it.

I was bench pressing 250 lbs like a week ago, and now I can't even bench 230. My one arm and my one hand aren't healing. I don't know if it's because I am overworked (which is pathetic since I am part-time, although I do keep working 9 hour shifts without any breaks.) or if the tumour in my leg has woken up and started to kill me, and that's why I am not healing. It's really frustrating because no matter how much everything in my life keeps getting worse and worse, the one and only thing I had any control or positive momentum on was building my strength. But that's enough bitching from me for now lol.

I'm not sure about the ear. I don't feel like messing around with it right now.

And no thank you on the monetary contributions. I do what I do because I hope to bring enjoyment to other people. Everything good that we do for ourselves dies with us, everything good that we do for others has the chance to echo forwards for all eternity. Which is a bit melodramatic for silly video game art of tiny men fighting each other. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if took donations, and I've got enough problems with my life without being able to stand looking myself in the eye lol.

Now what other goodies do I have that I can show off? I don't wanna give too much away so that there will still be surprises for people. But there are a couple that I can show.

   

Was planning on redo-ing wyvern riders.

       

Can't remember if I posted this here, but did work on an orc wizard. Still needs touching up and finishing. Maybe a troll one as well?

       

Very early concept for a Gnoll wizard. Probably will redo from scratch.

   

Well, that's that! Have a good one, and thanks for all the engagement and encouragement Lagi. I just wanna make people laugh, or make 'em smile, and hopefully I've done that for you.
