Thanks the shading wasn't too hard because its basically a big bubble. I got bored making ghosts so I decided to make something else the body doesnt look quite right in my opinion but here you go

EDIT: made the foot look better

I am confused at what it is. Is it a head on a big leg? If so you should shut the mouth and give it eye. also maybe you should add another leg. Nice job on the shading but I would use a little less white by the mouth

well I was thinking a head on a single leg like a tripod with just a mouth kind of standing around and biting anyone who gets near it though you are right about the white around the mouth.

What do you think of this? I made it so the mouth did not look like it was attached by the heads lip

The shading on the stalk part is odd - you have it getting brighter the further from the ground it is, rather than having it brightest where the light hits. Lighting is generally from the upper right in Wesnoth.

Better on the shading--Nice job.
Also, your sprites here have been viewed from straight ahead... In-game, this will look very strange, because all the other images (Including the terrain, IIRC) are viewed from a slight upper-left angle--That is, the unit appears to be facing south-east :hmm:

Your right it does look weird in game. I am having trouble with getting the leg and the head aligned to look like they are looking south-east any tips?

Really? I directed you to post your comments here, as there was no need to open a new thread about the same topic. I even provided you with the link. If you think that was telling you off, then no one has ever really been mean to you.
