I wanted to try making some sprites. So I'll post them in this thread since I didn't find a better place.

Critique is welcome

And here goes the first one... look! A TINY GOLEM!

Hello, your sprite looks a little funny

Hey, if you want to make random sprites, uhmm, maybe you can do some sprites for this please?

It will be very appreciated

Cuuuuuuuuute!

He is indeed cute. He doesn't look like he'd be tiny in game though - he looks about man-sized.

That's because your standard golem is much larger than a man-sized construct. At least in a strictly fantasy setting.

His arm is fat.

They're not fat! He's just big boned.

He's fat.

But still, nice work! It's a good sprite!

I figured he deliberately had inhuman proportions to demonstrate that he had been shaped.

Maybe for its mutant nature. A monster is always a monster... A classic golem description would say that it's a powerful, giant rocky-type creature with unmatchable strength and physical defense, but it only lacks in magic defense, agility and intellect. Standing onto this description, it's quite obvious that has a high defense rate of blade, pierce and impact damage, while it's weak at fire and cold too I guess. He's also immune against holy, or at least very resistant (something like 10-30 res.). The golem is a stand-out creature in standard monsters' armies, and its presence in the battlefield may unbalance the rest of the game for its overpowered nature (like the Yeti though, only that he's a lv4!!). If you're planning to put that thing into a customized faction, remember to balance its abilities well (like 7-2 punch for example). Just suggestions... I wonder how it'll look its upgraded form...

First animation attempt.

Still....

Looks like it says to the enemy "come here, c'mon!"
