That kid definitely fits much better.

Posting the dark background as I am hoping for a darkened candle lit interior.
I could use some help with fringe tiles for this npc...even just ideas.

The fact that they are different (the handle, the color, the melting form, etc...) make them usable at different places.
I do agree that someone needs to choose between these 2 and add snow.

Keep both. The stone one would look good with a interior set I am working on.

Later on you changed the riveted one to look more aged and added animation.
For the flame on the inside you could have it flicker light around the ring of the opening to give it more of a flashy feel. Maybe a small vent a steam out the base of the gauge.

You could have a long animation that makes it seem as if it's randomly done at different times.

Therminor idea

I don't know what is planed for how these small ppl live but I was thinking of something hobbitish like this.

Powder Horn, seems like it might belong with the wheellock pistol.

a little soot...dings and dirt...changed whistle pallet added more to the man.
I would appreciate some input on this stuff before I post all the parts as separate images or begin animation frames in earnest.

Well, here's two tilesets I've almost done for (some pixel to remove and it'll be ok).
[Thermin outside]


[Thermin cavern]

here is a test with it -> http://www.gilawhost.com/images/f44av583.png

Wow, those tiles look really cool.

But it seems to me like the cave tiles could have a problem with differing between floor and walls. Do you have a mockup?

Nice I love that. I don't see any bugs. However, I saw you took Nivalis as an example, good choice!

As I thought. It seems to me that the floor texture of the cave is too cluttered. I think it would help when you would reduce the brightness of the two brightest shades of the floor texture.

less colorful

Yes, that looks much better. Now you can clearly tell what's floor and what's wall.

But as you surely noticed yourself there are some problems with the walls not tiling very well.

When I had that problem with a texture as complex as this I usually created a new tile with the left 16x32 pixels of the original tile to the right and the right 16x32 pixels to the left, so that I have the border in the center of the tile. Then I tried to make the center of this tile natural without touching the outmost pixels. Repeat the cross-copying of the left and right half back to the original tile and you end up with a tile which tiles perfectly.

some other tile to make it less grindly (4)
