I don't know if I'd fully agree with 'scrapping outlines altogether' as I find sprites of this size sometimes need some outlining in places to make them stand out more and detailing of small sprites is one of the few things I find really interesting about pixel art and why I quite enjoy doing 16x16 sprites (my main game project uses a lot of them) more than any other size.  I suppose it depends on the sprite in question and the artist's ability to use the space well.

You're right of course and it was a poor choice of words from my point, Lineart would've been a better term to use perhaps . Clearly outlines can still be useful in seperating things, even my edit still has outlines to a degree. What I meant was that sticking to lineart (especially inside the sprite) can clutter it. :-[ Also nice edit! :y:

Ah fair enough.  I liked your edit too by the way even though I had to brighten up the two darkest shades of green and brown because they looked almost black on my computer. :P


<Edit II: didn't look knightly enough, and did an animation :D lol got carried away, I'll stop now.

Very cool knights and no you can't stop. 16x16 sprites are addictive.  :P

Thanks a lot for all the amazing edits.

Here's the start of my spritesheet for the goblin as well as a 4-frame walk cycle. C&C always appreciated :)
