Dwarves Goblins Men Some Animals

Download: Beefmo 2012 page on DFFD Author: Beefmo and Thirin Tile Size: 16×16 Resolution: 1024×768 or higher Current Version: 0.54 DF Compatibility: 0.34.11 Installation: Instructions at download site Last updated: Dec 26, 2012 Exhaustive collection of sprites for all civilized races (dwarves, elves, goblins, humans, and kobolds) including unique images for each profession within each race, as well as zombie, skeleton, and ghost forms. There is also a huge gallery of creatures including livestock, wildlife, and cavern fauna. Many of the animals are collected from other sets and modified to fit, plus many unique to this tile set -- as such it is one of the most comprehensive collections of creature graphics available. Most of the new 2012 animals and animal-men are present, though some are still TBD. The art style is clear and consistent with clean lines and solid colors; classic pixel art. There is also a version available patched onto Obsidian and ready to be used with LNP. This version can be found here.

Designed for Fortress mode play, but includes Adventurer tiles. Created from scratch, but originally inspired in part by PTTG's graphics set for .40d.

Obsidian Graphics Set

Download: Official Forum Page Author: Obsidian Soul Tile Size: 16×16 Resolution: 1024×768 or higher Current Version: 0.8 DF Compatibility: 0.34.11 Installation: Instructions at download site Last updated: July 24, 2013 A graphics set that focuses on consistency and stylized realism to harmonize the different tiles and give a more "medieval" atmosphere to the game. Unlike other tilesets, this also specifically sets aside different tiles for grass with modifications to their graphics raws. This makes it easier to distinguish pasturable areas from bare rock and sand, tell apart different biomes, as well as letting you plan green (or blue, if you're going with cave moss) gardens along your entrance halls. Just make sure to forbid traffic on it to avoid trampling them to bare ground.

Inspired by Jolly Bastion and referenced from tile sets that have come before. This graphic and tileset is still very much a WIP. It should be completely playable as it is based off Phoebus' Tileset and comes with all of it's graphical assets.

Taffer's Tilesets & Graphics

Screenshot of game using Taffer's Tileset & Graphics

Download: DFFD listing Author: Taffer Tile Size: 10×10 Resolution: Any Current Version: XIII DF Compatibility: 0.34.11 Installation: Unzip over DF install Last updated: October 17, 2013 Sharp looking, vanilla styled tilesets that strive to strike a good balance between nice, attractive graphics, while avoiding odd graphical oddities. I have positioned many tiles carefully and put a lot of thought into each one, often obsessively so. I find the cumulative differences from the ASCII add quite a bit to the game. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the update log attests to that, but the result is pleasing and well-polished. Alternate walls are included, as is the color set and racial graphics for dwarves, humans, elves, goblins, and kobolds.
