-That's a Chinchilla, not a gerbil
-fire imp, sasquatch, Drunian
-GSC, giant toad, Draltha, giant cave swallow

You can see my first attempt at a draltha here. I decided it needs to be a bit more graceful, even if now it looks smaller.

I totally forgot about drunians, that explains a lot. I think the size of the draltha is good. It is larger than most other creatures yet smaller than an elephant. Give it yellow(er) hair and it's perfect.
The cave swallow I believe could use a swallow tail to make it more recognizable as a swallow, as the wings probably can't be lengthened due to size restraints.

Funnily enough, cave swallows lack the distinct swallow shapes: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cave_Swallow/media-browser/68122171

[Rekov]

That one looks like a Gremlin.

[Mike Mayday]

Well... it IS a Gremlin.

[Superdorf]

Then all is well!

Huh, I thought cave swallows were something the Adams brothers came up with. TIL. Then all is well!

Something that came up in kitfox discord, an unintentional feature of Vettlingr tileset.

When a cat steps on mason's workshop, it slightly moves the equipment part of it.

Obviously this is caused by TWBT only applying transparency/override once for topmost, but there are vanilla things like doors that change their appearance when creature goes through (currently, only to floor tile, but could instead show being opened).

When reworking backend graphics, might be useful to standardize "creature goes through" for all buildings.

I can identify all animals except this one. Is it a mandrill or mythic creature?


Visually there is not much difference between these two, that might confuse players. I'd suggest adding a visual identifier such as replacing the pelt thong with an improvised pelt cloth covering half the chest.

Besides that I'd say that the tiles look amazing. Keep them going!

[Fleeting Frames]

Hm, it occurred to me that Armok Vision displays decoration on items (mainly relevant in cases of artifacts).

Is this planned for the tileset? Are there plans to treat multi-part items (i.e. procedural instruments) like multi-part creatures?

[Rose]

It's not really viable at the scales we're dealing with.

It looks like a Drunian.

[Meph]

It is.

Just saying hi, we are still around, just biding our time.

I'm just kidding, but...
here between us ... you know something about the next release date and they don't say anything because they are contractually barred, right
I am very looking forward to the steam release 

[dirkzen]

Oh neat, i've been using the Mayday tileset on and off for years now, i'm a big fan of the look. 
Also glad to see Mikes still around and in the forums. 

Also, the steam release is gonna be pretty darn interesting, i'll give it that

release dates don't really work this way, more likely literally nobody knows, including the people making the dang game
