DDP's Sprite Workshop

[DragonDePlatino]

A looong time ago, I attempted to create a graphics set for the infamously-complicated Dwarf Fortress. I used sprites from my DawnLike project and worked in a 16x16 resolution, but quickly found that the sprites were unreadable when viewed at the game's 1x zoom. I later ended up quitting the project due to how unsatisfied I was with the results...

Fast forward 11 months, and I've decided it's time to retackle this project. I'm ditching the DawnLike sprites and starting from scratch in a 24x24 resolution with a custom palette. Here's my progress so far:



(In order from left to right)
Small base, Base, Large Base, Olm Man
Human, Dwarf, Elf, Kobold, Worm
Ant Man, Goblin, Frog Man, Reptile Man, Frog
Bat Man, Snake Man, Fish Man, Cave Swallow Man
Bluejay, Cardinal, Grackle, Oriole, Blackbird
Penguin, Small Penguin, Emperor Penguin, Penguin Man, Giant Penguin
Peregrine Falcon, Peregrine Falcon Man, Giant Peregrine Falcon, Kiwi, Kiwi Man
Giant Kiwi, Ostrich, Ostrich Man, Giant Ostrich

My goal here is to create a series of 24px graphics that, when viewed at 1x zoom on 1920x1080 monitors, are still sharp and discernible. I'm intentionally keeping the style simple because I'll need to draw thousands of these sprites and I want the style to be easy for programmers to imitate. What do you guys think?
