er... personally I think the horse units look like the soldiers are mounted on giant rats. Maybe the rear end should be reduced and the horse's tail shouldn't be sticking out like that.

Welcome to the forum!

err...are you saying my horse has a fat butt?

Check out the rump on this horse called Sockpuppet:



You could always use the original horses:

Lol, that was actually me trying oh subtly to get you to re-edit the horse units--> failed. Anyway, they really look like giant rats.

Well your horses look like a violin in a violin case that has been run over by a truck.

It's actually quite a bit harder than you may think to replicate horses from above with so few pixels.

Here's some actual size horses:


The third section are some modded horses by Welk I believe.
He does good art work. The rumps of his top and bottom horses are actually the same size as mine, but his use of shadow makes the rumps look smaller.

Once you put the icons in the game it adds shadow which I think makes my icons look better.

His cart horses might be what you are looking for. They have slightly smaller rumps, but I don't like the heads, the tails, or the manes which are too big and black.

I like the icons, but I just don't think horses are that thin.
These are about the same width as the rider!

The few times I've sat on horse I've always been surprised about how wide they are.
Have you seen any decent top-down photos?

Hey, those are my horses

Welk lifted them from a mod I helped with at the Depot, IIRC.

Sorry about that Matt

You are definitely one of the best SP artists I've seen, your Civil War art work is fantastic. I don't mean that as flattery, I'm genuinely impressed. You should show more of your CW art work here.
