I like #2 better simply because noone would wear that much leather or clothes as #1 in a desert. It's kind of hard to critique because only (CMIIW) the color has changed. Thusly, you have done a good job, but I think that desert elves would have a different attire than ones living in a forest.

Funny, I myself would have thought that desert dwellers would have been wearing more clothes, to protect themselves from the harsh sun.

But I agree that ultimately, they would be better with their own portraits, on account of how they'd wear different stylised stuff.

Good. :D But there is one, big, major problem. They're exactly the same portraits, just with a different colour balance. :P
Therefore, they still look like forest dwellers. Have a look at the portraits for UTBS for inspiration.

I am not an artist, I tried editing the colours/lightsource to make it look like a desert elf. :wink:

With those base frames, they don't need anims to look good.

Have you seen Rhyging's method of creating fire? I think that would help you, because right now it dosen't look very realistic. A forum search should yield results.

It isn't really meant to be fire...

I understand that it's some magic stuff, but I saw "Pusling flame animation" and the effect you were trying to get, and I thought that it would look like fire. I think that Rhyginig's method is still worth looking into, it dosen't have to be used with fire, e.g. Sleepwalker used the same method on his wight sprites.

I recolored/edited the old Frontier Baroness sprite to fit the portrait.
