First of all, I wasn't sure whether this should go in the sticky thread, because I've also altered the base image.

I've 'fixed' the head of the Princess, and sketched out a four frame animation (no swishes or shadows yet.)

i was just making some maps and found that theres no alternative to the cave terrain when your underground. so i thought someone who can do pixel art could make a sort of more clean cut under ground hall sort of terrain that better suits the dwarfs.
