ForestDragon's Franken-Art

You could have it go straight down at the bottom for gravity, or make it hug her body a bit. Dresses also usually have some folds or creases, so you could try playing with the shading.

hmmmm... sorry, i didn't quite get it some of what you said (can you please explain it in more detail), well, i made the skirt a bit longer:

ok, so i redid the guardian+trident again, this time following the tips i got (about interpolation=none, growing it 2.0 size before rotating) and made the shadow purple-ish color:

It should be obvious why you think it looks off. Just look at the top half of the sprite, see the folds, shape, and shading for the sleeves? Well the dress sorely lacks that. It also need a lot more of the light colors and less of the dark colors to fit the other clothing.

well, now that i think about it, yeah, a brighter palette will do

Do you mean the gravity bit? Try making parts of the dress outline more vertical. Gravity pulls down, not diagonally.

hmmm... i meant more about the 'folds or creases' part, and a bit more about the 'make it hug her body a bit' part too

[GunChleoc]

For example, look at this picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skirt

This skirt has vertical folds in it, and parts of it are closer to the body than others. Once it is worn, you will also see a bit of body shape in it.
There is also a video on that page that might help you.

ok, so, since i decided to add Dwarvish Plainsrider into my era, i made him a lvl2 (franken-ed from Gyrocopter):

looks good in general, i'd just suggest to make the wheels a bit rounder and add a shadow

[ForestDragon]

ok, added shadows for both sprites, and tweaked the wheels a bit on the plainsmaster (still need a bit more being round):

some 0.001% of those of you wonder how can plainsrider move on difficult terrain (water, to be more specific), the answer is this:

hi, so, i found this unit on an old forum thread named Avian Kingfisher, and i decided to give the unit n/s attack anims (since the original anim was only fit for se,ne,sw,nw):

hi, i am sure this is probably more fit for the Art Contributors forum, but i decided to make anims for the new-dummy.png sprite used in UMC (why isn't it mainlined yet ) and replaced the blackness in the helmet with dark blue:
